If Mapes plays, so can you.

We're a British and Mexican American family making videos about the toys we open and the games we play. Most of it is planned by a six-year-old, and most of the mistakes stay in.

What turns up on the channel

Three things, in no particular order. It depends on what she wants to do that day.

Toys

Collectable figures opened on camera, with first reactions left in. Lately that's Mattel's K-Pop Demon Hunters 6-inch range, Wave 1 and Wave 2, plus Transformers and Care Bears.

Wobbly Life

Played on Nintendo Switch 2 as Lee and Leeane. Ninja Warrior wipeout runs, hide and seek, arcade challenges, present hunts, and the odd glitch that turns into a whole episode.

Minecraft

Building together, getting lost, and saving the moments that go wrong for the bloopers videos.

Who makes Mapes Plays

Mapes Plays is put together by a six-year-old and her dad. She picks the toys and the games. He films, edits and joins in.

Her dad is one half of The Mapes Brothers, from the Transformers and Visionaries fan communities, so there's never a shortage of figures to open.

The family is part British, part Mexican American, and the videos are as unscripted as the rest of family life.
