Hey guys! Ready to dive into The Lego Movie Videogame and snag all those awesome Red Bricks? These little goodies are scattered throughout the game and unlock some seriously cool extras that can make your gameplay way more fun. Finding them all can be a bit of a challenge, but don't worry – this guide is here to help you track them down and understand what each one does.

What are Red Bricks?

Okay, so first things first. Red Bricks in The Lego Movie Videogame are essentially cheat codes or extra features that you can unlock. Unlike the Gold Bricks, which you need to progress in the game, Red Bricks offer a range of enhancements. These can do everything from multiplying the number of studs you collect to making your characters invincible. They add a whole new layer of fun to the game, especially if you're looking to complete everything or just mess around with different abilities. Each Red Brick needs to be found within a level and then purchased with studs before you can activate it. Some of the features are really helpful, and others are just hilarious, but all of them add something unique to the gameplay.

The Red Bricks are scattered throughout the game's various levels, requiring you to explore every nook and cranny to find them. Some are hidden in plain sight, while others require you to solve puzzles or complete challenges to reveal them. Once you find a Red Brick, you need to collect a certain number of studs, the game's currency, to purchase it. The stud cost varies depending on the Red Brick's feature, with more powerful or useful features generally costing more studs. Earning studs is pretty easy as you progress through the game, but activating all the Red Bricks will still require some dedication. Once purchased, you can toggle Red Bricks on or off from the game's menu, allowing you to customize your gameplay experience. You can activate multiple Red Bricks simultaneously, combining their effects for even more fun and chaos. However, keep in mind that some Red Bricks may have conflicting effects, so it's best to experiment to find the combination that works best for you.

Red Bricks not only add fun and variety to the game but also offer some practical benefits. For example, the Stud Multiplier Red Bricks can significantly increase the number of studs you earn, making it easier to purchase other collectibles and unlock additional content. The Fast Build Red Brick speeds up the building process, allowing you to complete constructions more quickly and efficiently. And the Invincibility Red Brick, as the name suggests, makes your characters immune to damage, which can be incredibly useful in challenging sections of the game. Whether you're a completionist looking to unlock everything or simply want to enhance your gameplay experience, Red Bricks are well worth seeking out. The game is designed to reward exploration and experimentation, so don't be afraid to venture off the beaten path and try new things. With a little patience and determination, you'll be able to collect all the Red Bricks and unlock all the fun and exciting features they offer.
