Brick Commons working title

Make something with bricks. On your own, or together.

Choose a scene, take its kit of parts and build on the empty plot. Any part can be any colour, and your build is saved as you go, so it's there when you come back.

Start building How it works

How it works

  1. A finite kit, enough to finish

    Each scene comes with a fixed, counted set of parts: enough to build something you're pleased with on your own. When a part runs out, it's out, so where you put it matters.

  2. Any colour, any change

    Colour is never rationed: every part comes in every colour. Recolour, turn or take parts off whenever you like; a part you remove goes back into your kit.

  3. Kept, then shown

    Every change is saved on the server as you make it. Close the page, come back later, and your build is waiting.

    Save a version to your own collection whenever you like, without pausing or changing the room. Publish an eligible saved version to the public showcase, where anyone can view it, save their own copy, and continue it in a new room — the original always stays exactly as it was.

Built together, in one shared room

Up to a couple of people share one room's inventory and construction at once. Everyone draws from the same kit — there's no separate allocation per person — so what one of you places, the other can also recolour, turn or remove.

  • Leave a plan. Put a see-through suggestion where something could go, costing no stock and blocking nothing real. Anyone can build it, or mark it to draw the room's attention.
  • Marks, not chat. Marking a plan briefly highlights it for everyone else, naming who marked it — a nudge, never a forced camera move or a message.
  • Public or invite-only. Start a room anyone can discover and join, or one that only an accepted invitation opens. Still complete alone: solo building stays immediately usable, same as ever.

Scenes

Each scene has its own setting, plot and kit. This is the first.
