What a LEGO® Serious Play® session costs.
Most facilitators won't put a number on a page, so you end up on a call before you know whether it's even within reach. Here is the number, what sits inside it, and what moves it.
From AU$2,995 (+GST)
That covers the session end to end: the discovery call that designs it, every brick on the table, a certified facilitator running the room, and The Ignite Report afterwards.
Three ways to run it.
Pricing scales with the size of the decision on your table, not with how many extras get added on. Every tier is facilitated end to end by a certified facilitator.
Brick Spark has three prices: a Taster Session for AU$1,295 (under an hour, one question), a Spark Session from AU$2,995 (the standard facilitated session), and The Big Build from AU$7,995 for several rooms at once. All prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST.
The Big Build
From AU$7,995 (+GST)
When one room isn’t enough · whole-of-business questions- Several sessions across a day, or rooms running side by side
- Custom question design with your leadership team
- Leadership debrief and written report
- Scoped one job at a time. If it can’t be run properly at that size, you’ll hear that instead
Spark Session
From AU$2,995 (+GST)
Single or multiple tables · one to two focus questions- Facilitated think–create–ignite cycles
- Diagnose-then-design question arc for deeper sessions
- The Ignite Report (a photographed model summary and written action list) within 48 hours
- Every participant keeps a LEGO® Serious Play® mini bag
- Scoped up front: if your decision is bigger than one session, you'll hear it before you book
Taster Session
AU$1,295 (+GST)
Under an hour · one focus question- One facilitated think–create–ignite round
- A light recap of what came up, shorter than the full Ignite Report
- A low-risk way to try the method before committing to a full session
Four things change the price. Nothing else does.
You should be able to work out roughly where you'll land before you speak to anyone, so here is what the quote responds to.
The size of the decision
One focus question the team can work through in a single room is the base. A question that needs diagnosing before it can even be asked properly takes a longer arc, and that shows up in the number.
One room, or several at once
A single facilitated table is the Spark Session. Once the group is large enough to need parallel rooms running at the same time, it needs more facilitators, and that becomes The Big Build.
Where the room is
Melbourne sessions are priced as listed. Chris travels Australia-wide, and travel is quoted openly alongside the session rather than buried in the total.
When you need it
Weekday sessions are the standard. Weekends and after-hours are available if that's what your calendar needs, and that's the other thing that can shift a quote.
There is no per-head materials charge and no premium tier that gets you the better bricks. Spark Session and The Big Build both include the written summary and the follow-up call at no extra cost. If a quote ever comes back higher than the conversation suggested, it's because the decision got bigger, and you'll hear why before you sign anything.
Included in Spark Session and The Big Build.
- A pre-workshop discovery call to design the session around your challenge
- All LEGO® materials, with nothing to buy or prepare
- A certified facilitator, Victoria-based, guiding every step from start to finish
- A written summary of decisions, owners, and deadlines
- A 30-day follow-up call to check the actions landed
- Weekend sessions if that's what your calendar needs
The Taster Session is priced lower and scoped lighter. Its own card above shows what's in it.
Every participant takes home their own LEGO® Serious Play® mini bag.
Everyone leaves with their own kit in hand, so your team can run their own brainstorm, planning and analysis sessions long after the workshop ends. Spark Session and The Big Build only.
If the room doesn't decide, Chris comes back and runs another one, free.
The whole promise is that a decision walks out of the room. If your team can't reach a resolution on the question agreed in the discovery call, Chris comes back and runs a second workshop at no charge to finish the job. Applies to Spark Session and The Big Build. The Taster Session is a lower-commitment way to try the method and doesn't carry this guarantee.
All prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST.
What the meetings are already costing.
Worth holding the price against what's being spent now, because the meetings that aren't working are not free either.
When Harvard Business Review surveyed 182 senior managers, 71% said meetings are unproductive and inefficient, and 65% said meetings keep them from completing their own work.
Closer to home, research from COS found two in three Australian employees lose nearly three hours a week to unproductive meetings, which adds up to close to four working weeks a year for each of them. In Atlassian’s 2024 survey of 1,000 Australian workers, 76% said meetings are an ineffective use of their time.
No single session wins all of that back, and Chris won't claim it does. It ends one specific loop, the decision that keeps getting deferred to the next meeting and the meeting after that. If you know which decision that is for your team, you already know what it has cost to keep not making it.
Still weighing it up? Seven signs a workshop would pay off, and the other side of it, when a workshop is the wrong answer.
The questions people ask about price.
Is the price plus GST?
Yes. AU$2,995 is exclusive of GST, and every quote states the GST separately so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Does the number of people change the price?
Not on its own. A group of six and a group of twelve run as the same session at the same table count. It changes once the group is big enough to need parallel rooms running at the same time, because that needs more facilitators, which is where The Big Build starts. The method itself scales from a pair of people up to hundreds.
How long is a session, and does that change the price?
Two hours is the ideal length, enough for a room to think, create and ignite without feeling rushed. From there it flexes with the scenario and what your business has room for, and the right length gets settled together on the discovery call.
Do you charge for the discovery call?
No. The discovery call is where the focus questions get designed, and it happens before you commit to anything. If it turns out a facilitated session isn't the right answer for what you're describing, you'll hear that on the call rather than after the invoice.
Do you require a deposit?
A 20% deposit confirms the date once the discovery call has shaped the session. That covers the design work that happens ahead of the day. The balance is invoiced 7 days before the session and is due before it runs.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancel 14 or more days out and nothing further is owed, because the deposit covers the design work already done. Inside 14 days, half the balance is still owed; inside 7 days, the full fee stands, since the day is blocked and the room is prepped by then. One reschedule is free with at least 5 business days' notice.
Do you travel outside Melbourne?
Yes. Brick Spark is Melbourne based and Chris travels Australia-wide by arrangement. Travel is quoted alongside the session rather than folded into the headline number, so you can see exactly what it adds.
Do we need to buy any LEGO®?
No. Every brick comes with Chris, including the kit each participant takes home. All you need to provide is a room with decent tables.
How does this compare with the cost of a team-building day?
A team-building day is usually priced per head (in Melbourne, most options land between $60 and $200 per person) and it buys an experience. A facilitated session is priced as a piece of work and buys a decision, with a written record of what got agreed. The full side-by-side is on LEGO® Serious Play® vs team building, including the cases where the team-building day is the better spend.
What if we're not sure it's right for us?
Take the free fit assessment first. It's ten questions and it gives you a verdict, including when the answer is that a workshop won't fix what you're describing. There's also a page on the six formats if you want to see which room you're in.
Three steps from enquiry to outcome.
Discovery call
No charge, no obligation. Chris maps your objective and designs the questions the session is built around.
The session
Facilitated end to end. Everyone builds, everyone speaks, and the room works toward a decision it can act on.
Actions & 30-day follow-up
You leave with The Ignite Report, a written action list against names, and a follow-up call to check the actions landed.
