About Brickdle

Brickdle is a daily guessing game built around LEGO sets. It shows you one official set each day, its product photo and its name, and asks a single question: how many pieces does it have? You type a number and the game tells you whether the real count is higher or lower, so each guess narrows the range until you land close enough to win.

The daily set is numbered (Daily Brickdle followed by a number) and is the same for every player that day, which makes scores worth comparing. The sets are drawn from across LEGO themes and eras, from small castle or city sets to larger builds, so the piece counts can range from a few dozen to many hundreds.

You do not have to hit the exact number. A guess within a small margin of the true count counts as a win, which keeps the game about good estimation rather than lucky recall. When the daily is done you can keep playing an Unlimited mode that serves random sets.

It suits LEGO fans and anyone who enjoys quick number-estimation puzzles, and it plays in a couple of minutes in the browser.

How to play Brickdle

1. Look at the day's LEGO set and its name.
2. Type your estimate of the piece count.
3. Follow the higher or lower hint after each guess.
4. Win by landing within a small margin of the true count (about 1 percent, at least 3 and at most 25 pieces), then share your result.

Tips

• Use the picture for scale: count rough sections or minifigures and the baseplate size to anchor a first estimate.
• Treat the higher or lower hints like a binary search: jump halfway between your last wrong guess and the edge of what is still possible.
• Remember small sets can still run to a few hundred pieces once you count the small detail parts.
• Play the Unlimited mode to build a feel for how set size maps to piece count before the next daily.
