The SMART Brick can sense the presence of SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures that are close to it. These activate the SMART Brick and tell it how to behave. Once activated, the high-tech SMART Bricks react to every move, with a built-in play engine that creates limitless reactions with dynamic lights and sounds. To get started, you'll need up to three key pieces that work together to create the LEGO® SMART Play™ system: the SMART Bricks, the SMART Tags and the SMART Minifigures. For example, out of the literally endless potential play possibilities... Build a helicopter and place a helicopter SMART Tag into it. Add a SMART Brick close to the SMART Tag. Now your SMART Brick 'becomes' a helicopter and reacts to how you move and play with dynamic lights and sounds! Hear it take off and fly - or fly it upside down and hear the alarm sound. Add a SMART Minifigure pilot and hear them react!

Yes. The SMART Bricks, SMART Minifigures and SMART Tags can be combined with any LEGO® sets we've ever made (and ever will make). It's not a 'new' System in Play, but an evolution of it. However, to get your hands on these SMART Play™ elements, you'll need to buy one of the LEGO SMART Play sets we've released them in. There are two types of SMART Play sets: SMART Play All-In-One sets and SMART PLay Compatible sets. Our SMART Play All-in-One sets contain the SMART Brick, SMART Tags, SMART Minifigures and everything else you need to unlock the full SMART Play experience. Our SMART Play Compatible sets contain great LEGO Building play on their own, and contain SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures which are compatible with SMART Brick (available in All-in-One sets).

Short answer: nope. When developing the SMART Play™ System, we made the conscious decision to exclude screens. This helped us stay true to the classic LEGO® play and maintain kids' imaginative control. We have, however, created a SMART Play app for parents. The LEGO SMART Asisst app is the companion app for adults to manage and maximise the potential of LEGO SMART Bricks. It helps you control SMART Brick settings, update new play features and get quick help when you need it. It's an app for grown-ups to get the most out of the SMART PLay experience, so that kids keep on playing.

SMART Play™ All-In-One sets contain everything you need to start your SMART Play experience, right out of the box. They contain SMART Minifigures, SMART Tags, a wireless SMART charger and... drumroll please... the SMART Bricks! This brick is the brains of the operation. It responds to how it is being moved through the air, and reacts to how it is being played with. When combined with SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures, they help tell the SMART Brick how it should play back.
