Build your own QR code out of bricks
Type in your link. Watch it build itself. Get the full parts list and step-by-step instructions for $4.99 — then order the bricks wherever you like.
Scanning it starts a call.
Scanning it offers to save the contact. Keep it to these three — a 48×48 plate holds about a hundred characters.
Scanning it opens the spot in their maps app. In Google Maps, right‑click the place and the coordinates copy to your clipboard.
Scan the preview with your phone first — if it works on screen, it works in bricks.

“I’ll just get an AI to do this”
You can. Go ahead — ask it for a brick parts list for a QR code. It will give you one in thirty seconds, and it will look right.
But the tokens are not what it costs you
The tiles are. A code like the one on this page is 150 to 350 tiles — real money and a real wait for delivery. An assistant that has never had to make one scan will hand you a grid with the quiet zone too thin, the error correction guessed at, 1×1s where a 1×6 belongs, and a plate size it never checked. It all looks fine on screen. You find out when the bricks are already on your table.
Every code here comes out of a generator built against two independent QR decoders, on a colour set tested for what a phone camera can actually read on white. And you do not have to take any of that on faith: scan the preview above, right now, before you pay anything. If it reads on screen, it reads in bricks.

Questions
What do I actually receive?
A web page of your own: the finished picture, the parts list with buying links, a BrickLink wanted‑list file, and numbered build sections. Printable. No file to lose, no software to install.
How much will the bricks cost me?
Usually $12–$25 from BrickLink for a single‑colour code, plus a 48×48 baseplate. Buying a few sizes of tile in bulk works out cheaper if you plan to make more than one.
Will it really scan?
Yes — it is a real QR code with the proper quiet zone around it, and the preview on this page is the same code you will build. Scan the preview before you pay.
Do I need genuine LEGO® bricks?
No. Any compatible tiles in the right sizes work. The plan lists sizes and colours, not a brand.
Can I get a refund?
The plan is delivered the moment you pay, so it is not refundable — but if your plan will not open or will not scan, email [email protected] and it gets fixed or refunded.
I would rather not build it myself.
Fair enough — kits and finished builds are the other half of this site.
