			== Build Telephone Event (2026) ==
			On June 26, 2026, Community Manager Hannah([[_Sweetberrycake_]]) hosted a surprise ''Build Telephone'' event for Ironclad players. Participants were each given their own plot and instructed to build anything they wished for five minutes before rotating to the next plot. After each timed round, players moved to a new build and continued developing whatever had already been created, adding their own interpretations and creative ideas while avoiding the destruction of previous work.

			The event emphasized collaboration, improvisation, and creativity rather than competition. Once every participant had contributed to each build, the community toured the completed creations together while the original builders revealed what they had initially intended to construct. The event was notable for producing both impressive collaborative builds and humorous results as projects evolved in unexpected directions through successive player contributions.
