Description

A building made for app-linked ghost hunting

The LEGO® Hidden Side series pairs physical sets with a free app that uses augmented reality to overlay extra ghosts and puzzles on screen when the camera is pointed at the model. The Newbury Haunted High School recreates a multi-storey school with classrooms, corridors and hidden mechanisms that can be triggered during play. At 1,475 pieces and 458 elements, it's one of the largest buildings in this short-lived but detail-heavy theme.

458 elements for eerie detail

The colour palette of light bluish grey, black, dark red and dark bluish grey creates the weathered, unsettling feel of an abandoned school. With 458 unique elements among 1,475 pieces, the part variety sits well above average for a set this size, which allows for plenty of small detail across the facade, roof and interior fittings. The full parts list on this page shows which shapes power the many transformation and surprise mechanisms hidden inside, from folding walls to sliding panels.

Eight minifigures for a large cast

With 8 minifigures, the Newbury Haunted High School is one of the more figure-heavy sets of its size. The cast covers both the students and ghost hunters as well as the ghosts themselves, typical of the interactive play style at the heart of the Hidden Side series. For collectors who focus on minifigure-rich sets, the figure-to-piece ratio here is unusually high compared with other buildings of similar size. Some characters change appearance during app-based play, a detail tightly linked to the series' augmented reality concept.

A parts list for a large building

If you're looking at the set purely as a building and collecting project, independent of the app, the parts list on this page gives a precise breakdown of all 458 elements used. The grey and dark red facade pieces in particular work well as an addition to your own building projects in a similar style, regardless of the original haunted-house theme, useful for any dark or abandoned-looking facade. For a set this size, it's also worth looking over the included transformation mechanisms before you start, since several building stages set these functions up.
