Red Bricks Guide
[Updated 9/29: Added all Wave 6 Red Brick cheats.]
Red Bricks are special cheats you can find in each and every Adventure World. These cheats can be purchased from the Extras menu for studs — once purchased, you can turn these cheats on or off whenever you want.
Some cheats are purely for fun. Like the Scooby-Doo World Red Brick gives every boss character a disguise, or the Dr. Who Red Brick changes the in-game music to his own theme song. Some Bricks you won’t want to miss, like the super-useful 2x Stud bonus from the Lord of the Rings Adventure World.
Keep scrolling down to find specific info on how to purchase Red Bricks, how to unlock them, and a complete list of all current effects revealed so far.
How To Unlock Red Brick Cheat Codes
Note: All Red Bricks are found in Adventure Worlds. There is only one Red Brick per Adventure World, and they are all found by completing the same race activity. Follow the steps below to learn how to access Adventure Worlds, find the Red Brick, and unlock / purchase the Red Brick cheat from the Extras menu.
- Enter an Adventure World. You’ll find one Red Brick in each Adventure World.
- Look for a small robot with a shield around it. Alternatively, look at the minimap for a small Red Brick icon.
- Once you get close enough to the robot, a 20 second timer will appear — you’ll need to touch the blue bubble shield before the timer disappears to unlock the Red Brick effect for purchase.
- To catch the Red Brick, use a vehicle or a character that can fly. The Wicked Witch or Superman are perfect for catching Red Bricks.
- If you miss the Red Brick and it escapes, simply leave the Adventure World and return to reset and try again. The roaming bubble shield robot will appear in roughly the same area every time.
- Now that you’ve unlocked the Red Brick, open the in-game menu and select “Extras” — here you can purchase the Red Brick to permanently unlock it. From the same menu, you can toggle the effect on or off.
- If you close the game and return, don’t forget to turn on any Red Brick effects you want on. They will automatically switch to “off” if you reset or close LEGO Dimensions.
