LEGO has kicked off a new interactive game that has fans working together to crack a code at the LEGO Code Break page. If the code is cracked by October 19, it will open a real-life vault in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, where TwitchCon is happening this weekend. Once the vault opens, you’ll have 36 hours to visit the Code Break page and enter the code that was used to open the vault. This enters you in a sweepstakes for a chance to win the grand prize: the contents of the vault.
The vault contains a bunch of LEGO sets based on Fortnite, Minecraft, and Sonic the Hedgehog, along with a game console, monitor, gaming chair, and streaming equipment. That’s hundreds of dollars’ worth of prizes, so most LEGO fans will probably find it worthwhile to follow along and enter the sweepstakes when it opens on October 19.
If you happen to be in the San Diego area this weekend (October 16 – 18), you can stop by Gaslamp Park to visit the vault in person between noon and 8 p.m. There, you can check out the vault, build and take home a mini LEGO gaming controller, see a bunch of gaming-related LEGO sets, and take pics with video game characters.
Even if you’re not in San Diego this weekend, you can keep an eye on the LEGO Code Break page and LEGO’s social channels for clues to uncover four hidden numbers, characters or symbols that form the secret code that will unlock the vault. You can also follow gaming creators Andre Rebelo (TypicalGamer), Alex Kushelevskiy (FORMULA) and Jess Adel (JustJesss), because they’ve partnered with LEGO to give clues to the code.
LEGO has been on a roll with major releases and announcements in recent weeks. The LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine set, coming January 1, has been a massive hit with IGN readers, because it looks great and only costs $27.99. The brick-building company has also announced four upcoming sets based on LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight; each set comes with a code that unlocks a gold skin for Batman or the various Batmobiles. Finally, plenty of new LEGO sets for October 2025 have been released, including the most expensive set ever made: the Death Star.
