20 God-Tier Fortnite Playground Mode Creations We Can Only Dream of Building
As season 4 of Fortnite draws to a close, we decided to take a look at some of the most impressive creations that have been put together in the limited time “playground” mode. These creative players have all managed to build their architectural wonders within one hour, which is quite a feat. From racetracks to Pokemon to levels from other games, here’s the 20 best player-made structures from the Fortnite Playground mode.
Redditor u/Sleepy_Bear remade the popular Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer map Nuketown and got in some friendly fire fun.
YouTuber Fynnpire took a try at recreating the infamous ship RMS Titanic. It’s not quite a 1-1 model, but a sea-worthy vessel nonetheless. It’s especially admirable considering it was a solo effort. To the stars, Fynnpire!
On Reddit, user u/ethwal22 made 3 humongous octahedra on top of each other, for some reason. A monument waiting to collapse into the geometrical nightmare of Escher’s Solid, this structure is surely asking for trouble from the cracked sky of Fortnite.
This rather large dining table for Tomato Man and his friends was u/Baslero’s doing, via reddit.
This depiction of an 8-bit hero of time was erected by C3POSmash. It’s a very accurate representation of Link from the original Legend of Zelda, stabbing his sword towards some Hyrule-threatening enemy.
There’s plenty of race courses that have been built for racing Fortnite’s shopping carts, but Mustard Plays went the extra mile and actually recreated Banshee Boardwalk from Mario Kart 64! He and friends StellarWill, ReapCiti, and RebelScumGaming built and raced this haunted kart course with 3 different variations.
Paying homage to Brazil’s most famous landmark, Christ the Redeemer, u/commandersway finds religion with this work. Shout-outs to the original t-poser.
Sonny Evans has one of the few original creations on this list, his gorgeous castle built right on top of Loot Lake.
Here we have another solo build, from Reddit member u/Crepi334. It’s an AT-AT, which originally appeared in The Empire Strikes Back. Fun Fact about the AT-AT: it’s actually pronounced “Ay Tee-Ay Tee,” and anyone who tells you otherwise is a cop.

Nuketown
Redditor u/Sleepy_Bear remade the popular Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer map Nuketown and got in some friendly fire fun.
RMS Titanic
YouTuber Fynnpire took a try at recreating the infamous ship RMS Titanic. It’s not quite a 1-1 model, but a sea-worthy vessel nonetheless. It’s especially admirable considering it was a solo effort. To the stars, Fynnpire!
The Triple Octahedra
On Reddit, user u/ethwal22 made 3 humongous octahedra on top of each other, for some reason. A monument waiting to collapse into the geometrical nightmare of Escher’s Solid, this structure is surely asking for trouble from the cracked sky of Fortnite.
Tomato Man's Dinner
This rather large dining table for Tomato Man and his friends was u/Baslero’s doing, via reddit.
Link, the Hero of Hyrule
This depiction of an 8-bit hero of time was erected by C3POSmash. It’s a very accurate representation of Link from the original Legend of Zelda, stabbing his sword towards some Hyrule-threatening enemy.
Banshee Boardwalk From Mario Kart 64
There’s plenty of race courses that have been built for racing Fortnite’s shopping carts, but Mustard Plays went the extra mile and actually recreated Banshee Boardwalk from Mario Kart 64! He and friends StellarWill, ReapCiti, and RebelScumGaming built and raced this haunted kart course with 3 different variations.
Christ the Redeemer
Paying homage to Brazil’s famous landmark, Christ the Redeemer, u/commandersway finds religion with this work.
Loot Lake Castle
Sonny Evans has one of the few original creations on this list, his gorgeous castle built right on top of Loot Lake.
The AT-AT Walker
Here we have another solo build, from Reddit member u/Crepi334. It’s an AT-AT, which originally appeared in The Empire Strikes Back. Fun Fact about the AT-AT: it’s actually pronounced “Ay Tee-Ay Tee,” and anyone who tells you otherwise is a cop.
Fork Knife Cruise Lines
The second water craft on our list is the seaworthy “Fork Knife Cruise Lines,” by Redditor u/AggieKO.
Not Godzilla
“We don’t make mistakes; just happy little accidents.” – Bob Ross. u/Beanbag1992 may have had this quote in mind when his attempt at Godzilla turned into something more akin to a bird, possibly a duck in a mech.
Rust, from MW2
Another of Call of Duty’s well-known maps has been recreated in Fortnite, this time from Modern Warfare 2, made by u/dannydestroyer12 and posted on the FortNiteBR subreddit. For less experienced CoD players, that map is called Rust. For more experienced CoD players, 1v1 me.
The Second Greatest Wall
Lucky Landing has been walled off by u/VazzyCow. A Wonder of the Fortnite World.
It's-a him
Another classic Nintendo character in their 8-bit NES incarnation, here we have the very recognizable Mario. By u/FlyHy
The Skyscraper
What’s a creative mode without someone making a good old-fashioned skyscraper? You could surely see the crack in the sky a little better from the top.
Imperial Shuttle
Another Star Wars-themed creation, this time it’s one of the empire’s aerial machines, a Lambda-class Imperial shuttle. Built by u/nbridges77, who cleverly used the trees to cover the ramp to the ship, making it appear as if floating above the forest.
The Maze
This creation by u/RedGuy42 is fairly straightforward…or is it? Could you escape RedGuy42’s maze before the hour is up?
[chorus of kids voices] It's Charmander!
Our third pixel-art character, this is Charmander, by u/RiginPlayHD. Unlike the other pixel recreations on our list, this one is lying flat, and visible from overhead. Putting a Charmander in a lake seems cruel, as their weakness is water, but it’s still pretty!
Duck Hunt
ZainHaque came up with a shooting gallery that’s reminiscent of Duck Hunt, where players have to run along a path, and stay alive while a sniper shoots at them. At the end of the path, there’s a gun and a launchpad waiting for the survivor, so they can take on the sniper.
Llama Drama?
In u/sandflaxe’s own words, the llamas sense the end of the world, and are migrating. Goodbye, season 4.
