Offline Game-Inspired Brick Sets

Brick Dangerous Creates a LEGO T-Rex Google Character

— January 4, 2024 — Art & Design
Years ago, Google Chrome saw a fun opportunity to entertain users with an offline game starring a pixelated dinosaur and LEGO builder Brick Dangerous immortalizes the playful character with a new set. When the browser became disconnected from the internet, the dinosaur was seen in the middle of the desert and the game would be activated with any key, dodging obstacles by jumping or ducking.

The LEGO brick set is made up of 449 pieces and sees the grey dinosaur character resting against a white background with details such as a cloud and two cacti in the same tone. It can rest in the air or on land with a display that reads "T-Rex Runner" to round it out.
