How to join

• Pick today's prompt from the list below, or open the challenge page, which shows today's.
• Sculpt it in the free browser studio on a computer or phone, or in Clayground on your Quest. The challenge page's Start button opens the studio with the prompt on screen.
• Save a picture or a short clip (the studio's Record clip makes a square video).
• Post it with #Sculptober and #ClaygroundChallenge, and tag @claygrnd. I repost favourites every Monday.
• Skip days, double up, or use another Sculptober list. There are no rules except to make something.

The 2026 prompt list

One word a day. Make it cute, make it weird, make it a Phetta Fella in a costume.

Tips to make it to day 31

• Keep it small. A sculpt a day only works if each one takes 15 to 30 minutes. One strong shape beats a detailed one you don't finish.
• Reuse a base. Start from a ball, or tap Surprise me and turn the fella into the prompt: a fella in a witch hat, a fella that is toast.
• Use shapes. In Pro tools, Shapes stamps balls, blocks, cones and rings. Ghosts, mushrooms, candles and bones come together fast.
• Make it move. Motion → Wobble or Hop makes a clip people stop scrolling for. How to animate it.
• Catch up kindly. Missed a week? Do today's prompt and carry on. Nobody is counting but you.

Ideas for the trickier prompts

• Teeth: a big smile on a fella, or a tooth with a face. A crease along the gum line does a lot.
• Eyeball: a ball with a painted iris and a few red veins. Bonus for a tiny top hat.
• Twins: sculpt one, turn on Mirror, and give the other a different expression.
• Grumpy: low, heavy brows and a mouth pulled down at the corners. Asymmetry helps.
• Your costume: what are you going as? Sculpt yourself, as a Phetta Fella.

Sculptober with friends or a class

It's more fun with company. Pick a prompt together and compare at the end of the day, or put everyone's sculpts side by side on a Friday. In a classroom, one prompt makes a good 15-minute warm-up: no accounts, nothing to install, and students save a picture to hand in. The Chromebook lesson plan has the setup. Want it competitive? Sculpt-off turns a prompt into a 90-second party game on everyone's phones.

Keep it

Save each sculpt with Save project so you have the editable file, and a picture for your grid. At the end of the month you'll have 31 little sculptures and a much quicker hand. Want one on your desk? Print it. Want one to fight? Turn it into a Smoosh fighter.
