We save many of the biggest and best prizes for our own private Bingo Grande held Thursday evening just before opening ceremonies.  Open only to registered exhibitors.

Players all receive the same small set to build (set not revealed until the game). Players may read their instructions, but cannot see the parts they are assembling!

Points are deducted for parts in the wrong places, and for missing parts.

The winner gets an awesome prize, and everyone has a great time (and keeps their small set).

See AFOL build.

Build a boat (using only LEGO parts, of course) and race against other boats for speed in the hotel swimming pool. Use Technic motors (or MINDSTORMS if you dare). Race for first! Race for fun! A Technic set awaits the winner.

All boats must be self-propelled and move without external assistance, use of tether lines, etc., although remote controls are allowed. Unless otherwise specified here in the rules, the race course is in a straight line against the clock.

Some races (notably BF/VA) take place outdoors and do not let you walk closely to your boat so take that into consideration in your design (e.g., when using IR receivers). For this reason, sBrick is permitted to drive your boat.

The race is scheduled for 10:00am sharp on Saturday, at the moment the pool opens. This should give participants enough time to compete in the race before the first hotel swimmers arrive, and get back to the Expo before the first wave of public visitors hits.

A party game for horrible people.  Unlike most of the party games you may have played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.  For this modified version you will receive bricks for good answers, and you will need to build something rude with your bricks for the win.

If you are easily offended, do not play this game.

Simply attend the Closing Ceremonies - they are extremely brief - which end with more LEGO prizes. Names are drawn from a hat.

Each player is given the same 2 sets to start. Each player combines the sets to build an entirely original creation. The MOC deemed the most unique and creative wins a prize. All players keep their 2 sets :)

The LEGO game of charades. A fun game produced by RoseArt in 2003 where players use LEGO parts to create an item listed on a card, and the other players guess what it is.

The rules have been altered a bit to make it more fun for all ages. Instead of moving around the board, you get small LEGO bricks for each correct guess, and you get to keep the bricks! KC has even put together a similar set of Duplo.

The classic cornhole game ("made of LEGO").  Individuals compete, eliminating each other until only two are left.  Top placers win LEGO prizes.

A fun, relaxing game!

Cornhole Tournament 1.

Simply show up at the designated time and place with a wrapped gift in hand. Any number of people can play!

How To Play:

Dirty Brickster is better known (in the USA) as "White Elephant Gift Exchange," "Yankee Swap," or "Dirty Santa." Players each contribute one gift to the game, and ultimately each player walks away with one different gift of similar value.

1. All gifts should be valued the same. Use your imagination to make it fun. Out-of-production sets or some classic parts from your own collection are far more interesting that something off the Toys R Us shelf yesterday. But please make it worth the appropriate amount!
2. Players bring their gifts wrapped or sealed in a gift bag, careful to conceal the contents.
3. Players gather in a circle and gifts are placed in the center.
4. Names are drawn to see who picks first.
5. The picked player chooses a gift from the pile and opens it, holds it up for all to see, and keeps it (for the time being).
6. Another name is drawn.
7. The next player can either choose to take an unopened gift from the pile or to steal a gift from any previous gift-holder.
8. If someone's gift is stolen, that person can immediately unwrap a new gift or steal another gift.

Players are provided with random baggies of bricks. When the host says, "Go," players start building!

Players have limited time to build the most creative MOC they can muster. The objective is to be more creative than your competition and you must do it with your limited bricks and limited time.

• Baggies of bricks are provided for you.
• Baggies are the luck of the draw. You may find your bricks difficult to work with, but we'll try to keep all bags equal and fair.
• You are not required to use every brick in the bag - - simply be as creative as you can with what you have.
• The final MOCs are judged.
• Only one winner (between the two games) gets a LEGO set prize, but everyone keeps their baggie of bricks!

This class will introduce the fun of building Great Ball Contraption modules.  The kit costs $31 and is limited to 50 units.  Buying the kit is not required; exhibitors may audit the workshop.  Of course the kit is required for hands-on learning.

Limit one kit per person.

Upon completion each student will have a working GBC module which can be linked together with other students' modules.  Everyone who wishes to participate can include their module in the full GBC display for the public to see all weekend; simply collect your module Sunday evening.

Join us!

You are welcome to download the instructions.  If you weren't selected to play, you can bring your own parts!

This is the classic carnival "gold fish bowl" game. Get your ping pong balls into the bowls, and win some LEGO pieces!

The longer you last in the tournament the more LEGO you win. Open to all ages, all skill levels or no skill, experienced or novice, familiar with the game or not - everyone can win.

Oh, just sign up!

See Go Fish Tournament 1 for details.

A jar of LEGO pieces is the prize - and the challenge.

Just guess how many pieces are in the jar (or at least be the closest guess) and win the jar. Simple!

This game actually is open to the public.

This is your standard Texas Hold'em poker tournament, played with LEGO cards and top 5 placers take home a LEGO prize.

Poker knowledge required, obviously.

Simply attend the Opening Ceremonies which end with some awesome prizes! Names are drawn from a hat.

The Opening Ceremonies is also where first-timers to BrickFair can learn some basics of what to expect during the weekend.

To participate, bring (NEW DATA COMING SOON) LEGO SET #31010 (Creator Treehouse) with you to the game.

All participants bring the same LEGO set to the event. All sets are opened and parts grouped together, then divied up among the participants. Everyone's a winner!

Build the best MOC you can with the parts provided.  But don't get too attached; anything can happen during the frenzy of building!

Final creations are judged and a winner gets a LEGO prize.  All players keep their MOCs and parts!

It's called Saran Wrap Ball and it's just that... a massive ball of Saran Wrap with a bunch of goodies layered throughout.

Each player takes a turn unwrapping the ball, revealing LEGO prizes within. Unwrap fast!  As soon as the player to your right rolls doubles, your turn is over and you pass the ball!

When the ball is completely unraveled, the game is over.  Everyone keeps the prizes they collected :)

We're working on the details.  And, being a scavenger hunt, those details will probably remain secret until game time.  But it's open to everyone, sign-up not necessary.  So be on the lookout for updates on this game and the schedule!

Prizes are on display during AFOL check-in.  Each prize has its own bucket.

Exhibitors find four raffle tickets in their goodie bags.  Drop the tickets into whichever bucket(s) you wish.  Be sure to keep your stub of each ticket!  This game uses numbered tickets, not names.

A random ticket is drawn as the winner for each prize, Saturday morning before the doors open to the public.

It's mini golf!

See you on the green!

Tiger Plastics Open 1.

Light up your MOC!  For one hour we'll darken the room and enjoy the show by the street lights of LEGOtown.

Warning: The Meadowlands promises, "How dark you want it?"  So we anticipate maximum blackness during this one hour of World Of Lights.

This 2-hour event is your chance to sell your leftover LEGO items without being a vendor.

Outside the vendor area, this is the only time registrants are invited to openly advertise items for sale (the MOC area is a no-sale-sign zone).

Pre-price your items, find a spot in the Yard Sale area, and collect some quick cash for your unwanted LEGO pieces!
