LEGO DEMO: Scary Space
Knock, knock creators! Can you feel that chill? Something scary has arrived in your LEGO Space Station. Find out what has gotten to your crew, but look out! Something might be lurking around the corner… the new LEGO Template: Scary Space! Learn how to create your own epic LEGO jump scares with Verse Code and create spine chilling scenes with lots of new LEGO assets.
Let the bone-chilling fun begin—if you dare!
Let’s keep things brick-tastic with these simple guidelines to help your build shine!
- LEGO brick elements only: We’re talking classic LEGO bricks here! No Technic, no Duplo — just the good ol' bricks we all know and love.
- Height limit: Keep your build under 25 bricks tall (that's about 24 cm or 9.8 inches—give or take a brick or two).
- Baseplate size: Your creation should fit on a max of a 32x32 baseplate (which is roughly 25.5 cm x 25.5 cm or 10 x 10 inches). But hey, you can go smaller if you want! You don’t need to use a baseplate—this is just for measuring!
- No negative space: Your build should be fully enclosed! Think of it like this: You can design the outside of a house, but no need to worry about what’s inside—players won’t be able to go in or peek through windows!
- No flex elements: Nope, no bendy pieces here. Let’s keep things solid and sturdy!
- No stickers, decorated bricks, or translucent bricks: Keep it classic! Use plain bricks only, in all their blocky glory.
- No minifigures, minidolls, or molded animals: This challenge is all about creating the coolest structures! So, no little people or animals in this one—just you and your bricks.
