Build with wooden blocks, anywhere and without the need to clean up afterwards. Experience your child building a tower of colorful wooden blocks and then push at the blocks to knock it over, with the block scattering around on the floor. No need to clean up, but there is a chance of high squeals of joy when the RC car crash into a tower of cows and pigs. Your child can also learn numbers with audible number blocks, bounce or throw the balls, drive the train, or play Tic-Tac-Toe or Four in a row in 2 or 3 dimensions. In addition it’s possible for your child to store their own constructions for later use or play with one of the many preloaded constructions. There is no points or levels to complete. This is a game of creativity and freeform play. You are welcome to make suggestions on improvements or new features at: blockbuilder@ettin.dk The best experience is found on iPad 2 or newer and iPhone 4 or newer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ham Race at none against Block Builder 3D Free's 1. Ham Race also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1). Block Builder 3D Free's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (193 vs 20). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Block Builder 3D Free sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Ham Race asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ham Race holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Builder 3D Free has 193 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Ham Race's written reviews are positive against 79% of Block Builder 3D Free's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
