How it works

A box of sorted bricks and a numbered map. A couple of hours later there is something on your wall that you made.

1

Pick your scene

Fifteen original designs built around the films you quote — or send a photo and we’ll make one from that.

2

Build it

1,024 bricks sorted by colour, and a map telling you where each one goes. Nothing is glued.

3

Hang it

A mounting strip is in the box. No drill, no frame, no trip out for fixings.

It’s noise, then it isn’t

The strange part is that you can’t see it while you’re doing it. You’re placing colours, not a picture — and then somewhere around halfway it arrives all at once.

What’s in the box

Everything you need, nothing you have to go and buy.

1,024

Bricks, pre-sorted

ABS 1×1 tiles bagged by colour, so you are not hunting through a pile.

32×32

Baseplate

The grid everything snaps onto. 25×25 cm when it’s finished.

🗺

Build map

Printed full size, row by row, telling you exactly where each brick goes.

🪝

Mounting strip

Adhesive, holds the finished panel. No drilling and no frame needed.

+

Spare bricks

A pouch of extras, because one always ends up under the sofa.

An evening with it

Roughly how it goes. Plenty of people take twice as long and enjoy it more.

0:00

Open it

Bags of colour, a baseplate, a folded map. Tip the bags into whatever bowls you own.

0:10

Find your rhythm

The first row is slow while you work out how you like to read the map. Everyone ends up with a system.

0:40

Stop thinking

This is the part people come back for. Hands busy, phone face down, one brick at a time.

1:05

It appears

A face resolves out of what was colour noise ten minutes ago. Hard to stop after this.

1:50

Last brick, then the wall

Press the strip onto the back, pick your spot, stand back further than you need to.

The bits people ask about

Including the answers that aren’t flattering.

I’ve never built anything like this.

That is the normal case. There is no technique to learn — every brick is the same size and the map tells you which colour goes where. If you have ever done a paint-by-numbers or followed a knitting pattern, you are over-qualified.

What if I put one in the wrong place?

Pull it off and put it back. The only genuinely annoying mistake is shifting a whole row by one, and you will notice that within a few bricks — it just means lifting that row off again.

Is it fiddly?

A bit, yes. The pieces are small and there are a lot of them. If you dislike detailed work you will not suddenly enjoy it here. It wants decent light and a flat table.

What if a brick is missing?

Email us with your order number and we send replacements free, with nothing to return. Kits are counted twice, but it still happens occasionally.

How long does it really take?

One to two hours for most people on a 1,024-piece set. Slower if you sort everything first, quicker on your second one.

Sixty days to change your mind — built, hung, and lived with.
