Deckstead

Welcome to Deckstead, a cozy building lab where an ordinary deck becomes a bridge, a lookout, or a platform for precious toy cargo. Fold a pair of legs, bend a clever arch, overlap a road, and discover what your creation can carry.Explore 18 challenges across a sunny study, a playful toy room, and a colorful art studio. Join uneven bookends, use a tiny island, build from woven foundations, make room for an off-center load, and keep a marked passage clear. Each experiment gives you another way to think about paper.Complete with mirrored corner ranks, familiar pips, an illustrated king, and a patterned back. Build with flat cards, folded supports, arches, and woven walls. Switch to Edit to move or rotate a piece, make a small adjustment, or undo a step.
A LITTLE HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT
Short tips introduce your first build inside the workbench. Hints unfold in three steps: a principle, a few foundation clues, and then a complete dotted blueprint. Choose how much help your idea needs.

SEE WHAT THE LOAD IS DOING
Watch the tiny car or cargo test your creation. Stress highlights and gentle deformation show where a connection, support, or span needs attention. A clear three-star checklist helps you improve the design. When a build wobbles, the cards are ready for another try.

MAKE YOUR OWN LITTLE EXPERIMENT
Choose Bridge, Tower, or Platform in the sandbox. Set the scene, surface, paper condition, load, and card allowance, then adjust the bridge gap or tower height. Each mode remembers its own unfinished draft.

KEEP YOUR BRIGHT IDEAS
Save named versions to your personal Gallery. Reopen, rename, or remove a version while keeping other designs and earned stars. Explore the illustrated Notebook, collect little victories, and celebrate completing the full workshop before starting your next creation.
