The Best Interview Question

Interesting question - I think I would probably write the company about getting the instructions, but at the same time assuming there are pictures on the box I'd try to figure it out myself.
Baring that, I'd just build whatever came to mind at the time.
I probably would answer the same way. I would try to emulate what is on the front of the box to the best of my ability. If there was no picture... I would probably try and build a space ship.

We always bought the ones without instructions growing up. It was the huge tub of random pieces.

And those don't have instructions. But all kits do.

I'd love to have that question, that's the best interview question EVER! That's why IT people....i.e. creative souls answer questions like that so much better. I would totally say I'd sit in the floor for hours and build things.

Give me some Lincoln Logs and I'll build an awesome log home!

Same. Lego's and k'nex were my favorite. Lincoln logs were to restrictive for me.

Okay, someone bring me a box of Lego's!

Try and build based off the picture on the box.

LEGO is awesome! I used to call them as a kid whenever I was missing a part from a kit and they'd send it to me with no fuss. I loved it!

This company also said there will likely be a video game session after the follow up interview. Hopefully performance in said game doesn't affect the job as I suck at most video games.

They are probably going to test your answer to the previous questions, Lego, with a session of Minecraft. You are given a set of blocks and no instructions.

I'm old school when it comes to video games, give me anything Mario on original Nintendo or Super Nintendo. The new games not so much.

Headquarters in in Virginia. but they have offices all over the US (no IT staff in those though). I'd be working for the parent company that owns a few large construction companies, road crews, agricultural and a few other odds and ends over the US. There's about 20 people at HQ that do IT, HR/PR, Accounting/Payroll for all the other companies. There's about 3,000 employees total I think not including sub contractors.
