Cozy Bricks is a calm, satisfying brick-building game. Pick a model, open the bags and build it piece by piece, following a friendly step-by-step booklet, until it stands finished on your table. FIND, SNAP, BUILD Every piece of the model is scattered on the table. Find the ones the booklet asks for, drag them onto their outlines and feel them snap into place. Each step is a small, satisfying puzzle, and every model ends with a little celebration. NO RUSH, EVER No timers, no energy, no ads and nothing to fail. Build for five minutes or an hour. Put a model down and pick it up tomorrow exactly where you left off. PLAY ANYWHERE, NO INTERNET NEEDED Every model is inside the app, so Cozy Bricks plays fully offline: on a plane, on the train, or anywhere the signal is bad. No account and no sign-in. You only need a connection to pick up newly released models or to buy a pack. 50 MODELS AND GROWING Thirteen free models, from a cat and a big yellow duck to a T-Rex, a log cabin and a lighthouse, plus themed packs: • Medieval: a castle with a moat and keep, a knight, a wizard tower, a sleepy dragon on its hoard, a market square and more • Sci-fi: a towering moon rocket, a moon base, a space shuttle, a lunar lander and more • Vehicles: a steam train with its tender and coach, a double-decker bus, a biplane, a fire engine and more • Halloween: a haunted manor, a jack-o'-lantern, a witch's owl, a friendly ghost and more • Thanksgiving: a proud Tom turkey, a cornucopia, a pumpkin pie, a Pilgrim and a roast turkey NEW MODELS EVERY TWO WEEKS A new free model arrives every couple of weeks, and new themed packs regularly. Turn on alerts to get one gentle note when something new is ready. Nothing else, ever. YOUR COZY ROOM Everything you finish moves into your room: on the mantelpiece, along the bookcase, on the coffee table, hanging from the ceiling. Arrange it however you like by dragging models from place to place. Visitors drop by to admire your collection, each with their own favourites, and sometimes they'll be dreaming of a model they would love to see next. SHOW THEM OFF Finished models also stand on your shelf with your best build time. Visit them in little worlds: a meadow, the coast, rolling hills, snowy hills, the open sea, a launch site or a display stand. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open your iPhone Duo and Cozy Bricks opens like a real set: the instruction booklet on one side of the fold, your table of bricks on the other. Hold it like a book, or prop it up like a little laptop with the booklet standing and the table lying flat. MADE TO RELAX Warm lighting that follows the time of day, soft sounds, gentle music and bricks with a lovely rounded, matte look. Turn any instruction step around and zoom in whenever you want a closer look. Packs are a one-time purchase: yours to keep, with no subscription. Cozy Bricks collects no personal data.
