There are 20 Red Bricks in the game. Once you find them, you must purchase them with studs. Follow the instructions below to get them all. You should consider going after the stud multiplier Red Bricks first, as that will make it easier to buy the rest. Once you have a Red Brick, you can turn on its cheat effect from the “Extras” menu. Red Brick cheats do not hinder your ability to earn achievements (Xbox One) or trophies (PS4).
