Badges are digital achievements you earn by being active on brickd. They reward progress, consistency, and milestones as you collect and build LEGO sets.


What Are Badges?

Badges are earned by completing real actions on brickd, such as:

  • Adding sets to your collections
  • Creating build notes
  • Logging build time
  • Reaching streaks, themes, or milestones

You cannot earn badges by browsing alone — they are tied to meaningful activity.

  1. Go to the Explore tab
  2. Tap Badges
