Contest / Challenge September 2026 Build Challenge | “Puzzle” 🧩 | 27 Pieces Max

Post image
33 Upvotes

Back again for September! We are getting amazing entries each month, the subreddit is more alive than it was the years prior, and I think we are on a good track to becoming super big again.

But the theme for September is a real...

“Puzzle”

Mainly for you though! It's a super open theme this time, many things fall under this umbrella - jigsaw puzzles, brainteasers, pictures that look like something else at first sight, even builds that other people may be confused by due to some little known techniques. I'd really like to see the latter.

Rules:

  • You can only use 27 pieces or fewer
  • The builds can be made in Studio, but bonus points (totally imaginary) if built irl
  • You can post as many as 3 entries
  • You have to include a picture of all the pieces you used, as a confirmation that you didn't exceed the maximum number of pieces

You have until Monday, September 21st to post your entries with the “Build Challenge Entry” post flair.

It will once again be you who will choose the winner at the end of the month.

The winner will get a unique user flair they will be able to show off on r/Minilego, and their creation will be spotlighted on our Instagram.

Make us PUZZLED!

I made a similar (almost identical) one three years ago for a challenge in this sub but this time I was able to make a better design with a blank corner instead of the middle. Here's the old post https://www.reddit.com/r/Minilego/s/J6cOqdPZhd

While driving home he said “dad, I’m going to build WALL-E with 4 pieces only”, “right”, I thought. But he did, right? I was quite surprised by his creativity, he’s good with LEGO but never got much interest from it into minis and then he does this.

Tried to get this one as accurate as possible. Really love the old Batman sets, intend to do more microscale stuff in the future, and had a lot of fun building these.

I had a great time building this tiny castle from 40775. There doesn’t seem to be many mini scale official Lego sets available right now.

Are there any retired sets worth seeking out?

The Crimson Keep by u/Trappist-1d has WON the "Castle" build challenge!!!

The use of every single piece in this build is just a chef's kiss.

Congratulations, u/Trappist-1d - you now have a unique and incredibly cool User Flair!

I hope you all have enjoyed this challenge, we've got over 40 entries, which I think is super cool and is a big step up from just 3 months ago (was it 3?) when we restarted the build challenges on r/Minilego and have only gotten 8 entries in total :D

And guess what - the challenge for September is already prepared!

See you all in a few days!
