We bought two packs of the Explorer kits and had an absolute blast putting them together on Christmas day. My kids are 3 and 5, so the bigger one got more involved with the building, the younger just put all of her toys in there and had a great time there. They both enjoyed knocking them all down a couple of days later and helped packing it all up ready for next time.

Great, responsive customer service as well, really appreciated.

We had been given Make a Fort as a gift, which was an excellent idea. We had to reach out to customer service for some help & they were outstanding, and quick!~ they replied back immediately right after Christmas to guide us. We really are impressed. thank you!

The birthday girl actually hasn’t seen it just yet, but her Mom shared this photo of the assembled fort, expressing how great and sturdy it is. We are both excited to see Sawyer’s reaction! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wanted to give my son something that would keep him off his screens and help him to interact with his brother. We built the first fort from one of the pictures on the instructions and he hasn’t even taken it down to build something else, he and his brother love playing in it! Very sturdy for being cardboard. One suggestion- make a kit that is waterproof for outdoor play! It does take up quite a bit of space to build a fort and then leave it up (luckily we have a sunroom/playroom). All in all very worth the price, very much a great kit for a Minecraft loving kiddo! My kids are 6 and 3, but I enjoyed building it myself so I believe older kids would enjoy it as well.

This is great fun and an excellent creative new way to get kids away from screens. I would like to say thanks to the team at make-a-fort who responded to my emails super quickly to keep me informed during the shipping process as I ordered this during the Royal Mail strikes in the UK. My kit arrived well in time for Christmas and has kept my daughter (and me!) very busy. Lots of fun! Thank You!

I bought each of my grandsons a Minecraft Make-A-Fort kit, for Christmas. Everything time they put together a fort it looks different & provides hours of fun!

This is perfect for those older, taller kids that want to build a fort. We bought 3 sets so he can build up and out. He always wanted us to save boxes which took up too much room. These are perfect to take down and put back in their boxes and store. Love them.

This was an amazing Christmas present which kept our two grandchildren entertained for a day whilst the grown ups managed to relax a bit!

Easy to assemble and robust.

Our nephews absolutely loved the Minecraft kit - it was the HIT of Christmas this year. What we love is how it sparks their own creativity and expression…gets them off screens too 😉

But I have to speak to the amazing customer service of the team! I ordered too late and they personally helped me get a kit in time - they texted, they problem solved, and they did it all with a smile and generosity. We love supporting this family business.

Very happy with our make-a-fort kits! Spent the better part of the last few weeks building bigger and bigger “castles” with my 3 year old. She loves to help and when it’s done she plays hide and seek forever. For me as a parent it’s also great fun building these forts, it’s like my own childhood dreams come true. Definitely recommend this!

Le produit est vraiment top. Certes un peu onéreux mais vraiment pas déçu de mon achat.
A l'ouverture des cadeaux, les boîtes ont été mises de côté par les enfants car des bouts de cartons de base ne sont pas très attrayants, mais après coup, c'est avec ça qu'ils ont le plus joués.
Mes deux enfants (3 et 9 ans) ont donc vraiment adoré.
Et 5 étoiles car le service client est à l'écoute et très réactif.

The shipping was very fast and I’m super excited for my kiddo to open this. It is totally up his alley. I’m enclosing a picture of his current fort and will update after Christmas. My husband calls it his homeless encampment 🤦🏼‍♀️

My 4 year old daughter and I love this. Especially with the cold and dark days we want to explore other magical places. We have two sets: explorer and creator.

Haven’t received my item yet so I can’t review the product itself. However, so far, the customer service has been fantastic.


I missed the Black Friday sale and was worried I would have to buy it at $50 more than the sale price was. I reached out to the company and they issued me a refund for the difference in what I paid. I really appreciated it!

We have yet to give the fort gift to our grandson. It is a Christmas gift. He does however make forts from pillows, blankets and other items within his grasp.
I know he’ll love the fort gift !

I had some trouble ordering from the website, probably all my fault but nonetheless instead of just cancelling the order, they helped me sort it out and my order arrived where it was supposed to.

Really appreciate the service.

Bought one for my 7 yo nephew and he just loves it. A fun project for the family to work on together and his very own castle in the end! I’ve encouraged others in my family to purchase additions kits (on sale for November!) so he can add on to his empire. So glad I came across the ad on instagram!

A posh version of the cardboard box forts I made as a kid, although this will undoubtedly last longer given the higher quality / strength of the cardboard. My kids absolutely love it and have not stopped playing with it since it arrived, highly recommended although I have to be honest I would not have purchased had the kits not been on sale. Standard price is quite steep in my opinion

This was a great alternative to the traditional blankets and chairs forts that we're consuming our entire basement. The quality of the product is good. The cardboard is not flimsy. My only concern long term is if the cardboard or black discs lose their ability to hold over repeated use.

I purchased the shark kit (1 builder kit + 2 creator kits) for my nephews and we had such a good time building it together! They’ve since created many of their own types of forts using the same pieces (also my sister loves it because the forts are easy to take down and store flat in the box). Such a great activity for kids!

Wish we had this when I was a kid. Many great hours of fun together with my grandkids! E
What an awesome product, bought two kits and probably need to buy more.

My daughter can’t get enough. She LOVES Build-a-Fort and we play with it every day! We bought 2 more kits for the grandparents’ houses so she can build forts when she visits them. Recommending to all my parent friends!

My 7 year old daughter and I loved this gift. We spent a great couple of hours creating a fort and outfitting it with interior comfort living conditions as well as outdoor signage that reads: “No Boys” lol !!! I wasn’t allowed to go in and enjoy it after I helped her build it!! Long story short we had a great father daughter time playing/building together. Highly recommended !!

Nothing is perfect and I couldn't find excellent so good was the only choice. The kit was excellent for young (6+) active kids. This kit has provided hours of fun and learning for our two youngest grandchildren. They have developed creativity, problem-solving, building principles, and basic structural engineering. You do need a large area for this to be employed successfully.

Purchased two separate kits for my grandson for Christmas over a year ago. He still loves creating different forts with them. This was the perfect gift for him.

Bought this almost a year and a half ago for my son. We still use this regularly. Countless forts, houses, obstacle courts and nerf gun battle shelters later we still use this. He is about to turn 7!
I wish we had larger (or 2nd) set, as he wants to build bigger and better forts now.
While it is a little pricey, it is money well spent in my opinion due to the many times we have used this. Doubles as a huge coloring/drawing board as well!
Great quality.

We have lots of fun with these fort building kits. We always run low on the little black pieces that hold the forts together, so you should allow us to buy extra or include more. They take up lots of space when built, but the kids love setting up the forts. We have built outside, but always take them down same day.

Love the kit, just wish our house was bigger! I'd include pics, but don't want my kids on the internet. When we get to build these forts, they do take up a lot of space, but our kids absolutely love them and many times will just sleep on the floor overnight. Glad I got this email. We will probably do this tomorrow for fun!

I bought this fort for a 4 and 6 year old siblings. It went up easily and they loved it. We made several different designs with it. A year later I brought it back out. Put it up added lights and they loved playing in it again. It is back packed away. It will come back out next winter for more fun times. Yes by now it is beginning to show wear. Hopefully it will make one more winter. Very good investment and kids loved it.

The kids love building their fort. It’s so easy they can create forts. It’s fun to watch them use their imagination to build a large fort (we have 3 kits), several smaller forts, two story forts, and most recently an animal clinic.

Our kids love making forts and these kits are great! We don’t have removable couch cushions, so they were thrilled to get the kits. We have had them about a year and a half now and they are still in great condition. Very durable.

7yo and 4yo absolutely love creating all sorts of hidey holes and crawl tunnels. Floppy couch cushions and blankets sliding around, falling apart and causing fights are a thing of the past! Not to mention they can now build a huge fort together, or have their sibling rivalry and take it apart to still build 2 completely awesome forts separate from each other. We bought 3 kits and haven't even needed to open the third yet, although with 2 hyper boys I can imagine we'll need that box before long. Cardboard and connections parts are holding up well even with multiple dismantlings 🙂

Perfect gift for any child! Purchased for 7 & 10 yr olds and definitely the best gift ever! Love the fact it’s educational, teaches team work, and fun all wrapped in one.

Just got the creator kits and the shark has taken over my house!! My grandkids love building with these kits! They needed my help and we all had such fun!!
