At Brickworld Fort Wayne, thousands of hobbyists of all ages will enjoy playing at LEGO and DUPLO brick stations*, seeing spectacular creations, and visiting vendor booths to enhance their collections. The Fort Wayne Expo will feature 20 displays, including \u201cBricksburg,\u201d a giant Halloween-themed display and \u201cRobo Rally,\u201d where guests will have the opportunity to maneuver large LEGO robots around a massive LEGO game board. Guests can even contribute to a large undersea layout, by building unique fish at hands-on building stations.*<\/p>\n

Guests will have the opportunity to meet contestants from Fox\u2122\u2019s LEGO\u00ae Masters\u2122, Tim and Zach & Jack and Dawn and see their original creations. The LEGO Masters contestants will be available for meet & greet* during all public hours of the Brickworld Fort Wayne show.<\/p>\n

The Brickworld Expo will also feature a Play Brick* area with many brick options; a community Graffiti Wall*, where participants can create whatever they like; and the Great Ball Contraption<\/a> (GBC) a giant collection of small LEGO machines that pass thousands of LEGO soccer balls around a loop. The now-world-famous GBC originally debuted at Brickworld. Many Expo attendees film GBC demonstrations, walkthroughs and module-building tutorials to post online. Brickworld holds the record for the longest GBC loop, and this area is often the most popular display where attendees should plan to spend time watching the entire system. <\/p>\n

*At the time of this press release, hands-on and meet & greet activities are still in the show layout. Brickworld will follow CDC guidelines at the time the show is produced. Guests are encouraged to wear a mask and practice social distancing at interactive exhibits, as well as at the show.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBrickworld invites fans to take their eyes off of screens and put their hands onto bricks to submerge in the fun of 3D playing and collaboration among friends,\u201d said Chief Brick Officer and Master Builder Mark Larson. <\/p>\n

\u201cBrickworld is also delighted to see the new Lego Masters<\/a> series on FOX,\u201d Larson added. \u201cLEGO bricks deserve to be in primetime, and we hope our guests will come meet their favorite contestants from the show.\u201d <\/p>\n
