Description

Hidden Side and the app

Hidden Side pairs bricks with an app that makes ghosts appear in your own room. This set puts the spotlight on J.B., the inventor who investigates the strange things happening in town. So instead of a battle backdrop you get a workplace with equipment and room for three figures. It suits children who enjoy setting things up and telling small stories, as well as those who simply like a spooky theme. Sets with a story like this one tend to invite imaginative play.

Technical greys

Light grey, white, dark grey and black make up most of the model, which gives it the sober look you would expect from a laboratory. Of the 175 pieces, 85 are different types, a fairly high share of one-offs. That points to lots of small plates, tiles and special elements that add detail to the equipment and walls. The parts list on this page shows exactly which ones they are, if you like to know what you are holding. A bit of colour among the greys keeps the room from looking bland.

An unhurried build

You can finish the build in a relaxed hour. Because so many different parts appear, sorting takes a little longer than in sets full of repeats, but the build never gets monotonous. The figures can be placed anywhere inside the lab, and anyone who wants the app can use it alongside. Without it the set still works perfectly well as an ordinary playset, since the bricks themselves do not depend on it. Each building stage stays short and clear, even though the whole set has only about 175 pieces.

Parts for other projects

A large share of grey makes this a handy addition to city or technical builds. Try the “What can I build?” tool to see which further sets your collection could cover once these parts are included. Lab equipment, computers and small vehicles are easy to rework from the elements in the box, and if a piece goes astray you can look it up in the parts list and hunt for a replacement. Adults looking for neutral material for their own town projects will find plenty of useful, detailed bricks here too.
