*Redemption codes updated June 2020
*Updated 18th Sep 2019 for V.1.4.0

LEGO Tower, the mobile game from the Nimblebit, makers of Tiny Tower has been released on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We have spent a couple of weeks on the game from the open beta testing phase and we have compiled several tips and tricks that will help all gamers and LEGO lovers to start on their journey.

Tutorial
Complete the tutorial to gain access to more options
you will start off with very basic minimal options in the menu (4 buttons only) but you’ll get access to all the options including adding friends after you complete the tutorial (after the 4th floor is built)

Upgrade your elevators/lifts!
Do not neglect upgrading your elevators/lifts as they are your main active coin generators. Do this as well in parallel with buying new vehicles. We finished purchasing all vehicles before we reached 3.75-4.25x elevator speed. You’ll max out the elevator upgrades at 10x

Maxing out your elevators should be one of your main priorities

Bux and Coins
Bux is the ingame currency used for Blind Bag purchases, Elevator/Life upgrades, Vehicle Upgrades and to speed up progress or stocking.
Bux can either be earned in game via missions or by lucky random elevator stops at levels with a Bux symbol on it.
In App purchases of Bux are also available via Lost and Found or Bux Shop. There is no passive way to earn Bux at this moment.

Coins are the ingame currency used to build new tower floors.
Coins are earned passively via rental (Daily) or workplace earnings

Coins are earned actively by activating the elevator for your visitors so that they reach their intended floor. The higher the floor, the more coins you get. Upgraded lifts increase the speed as well as the number of coins you get.

As of Ver 1.2.0, coins can also be obtained via sales of your extra pieces. The selling price increases depending on the rarity of the piece as well as your current highest floor on the tower.
Selling a piece on a low tower yields a lower coin return compared to selling the same piece on a higher tower. Dont’ sell all your items at once. We propose to use it to complement/top-up your normal coin returns whenever necessary.

The number of coins for each visit can be derived from this formula

(5 + speed/2) * (10 + goldbricks) * floor
Example : Elevator speed is 5.00, 0 goldbricks and you land at floor 20 :
(5+5/2) * (10+0) * 20 = 1500 coins

Elevators/Lifts
The lifeblood of Tiny Tower and LEGO Tower. Upgrade them to gain more speed and a higher coin multiplier. You will max out at 10x.

Vehicles
Purchase of increasingly expensive vehicles by way of Bux lets you gain access to regular missions that reward you with increasingly more Bux. Vehicles that aren’t cleared will block the path of other vehicles including special vehicles that come in randomly like Movers, Construction Workers, Big Spenders or Deliverymen. Clear your vehicles fast or cancel that mission if it’s taking too long so that you don’t impede their arrival.

Placement of Floors
To maximize the coins gained by the visits from other players, it would be beneficial to place all your residential floors lower than your lowest commercial floor. A player visitor will always go to a commercial floor so by padding the lower floors with residences, they will be “forced” to go higher and giving you a higher coin return.

**This does not apply to visits from a computer generated visitor or your visits to your friends. These visits can go to either a commercial or a residential floor.

Residential Floors
Each residential floor can hold 5 residents. Each resident has a random different rent value ranging from 60 to 900 coins.

Each resident takes up one space in your residential floors. If there is an empty slot in your residential floors and the elevator stops at that floor, the visitor riding the elevator will become a resident of your tower (This does not apply to visits from other players)

Commercial Floors
Residents can be put to work in various commercial floors that are broadly categorized into Creative, Services, Retail, Recreation and Food and for each worker, you will get a net of 12 coins/min as long as the stock level is sufficient. Stocking is done via a tap and does not use up any bux or coins.
For each work floor, there is a cap of three workers who each have a specific task as well as a specific duration (differs with every floor) in which the stocks will last for.
You can increase the time the stocks last by spending bux and this increases the stock by 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x maxing out at 25x without any gold bricks.
A Gold Brick commercial floor instantly gives a 100x stock.

If you put a resident in their dream job, they will give you 3x as more passive rental income daily.

Gold Bricks
At 50 levels/floors, you will be given an option to rebuild (Via the Rebuild button), by rebuilding you will lose all levels previously built as well as all your residents but will gain a golden brick which you can use on either a residential floor or a commercial floor.

A residential floor golden brick enables you to generate full rent (900 coins) minifigures if you send your gifted minifigures there or if your random visitors land on that floor. You get an additional 3x multiplier if your residents on the golden floor works in the dream job.

The ideal scenario for one normal resident’s rent (900 (full rent) x 3(dream job multiplier) x 3(golden floor multiplier) = 8100 daily coins.
A commercial floor golden brick enables a 100x stock level and instant stocking on that floor.
If you demolish the floor with a golden brick, you can reuse that golden brick on another floor.

Effectively using your Golden Bricks by pairing them with a Big Spender visit
Three businesses share the prestige of being the most stocked businesses in the game namely Fire Station, Barber and Bike Repair Shop. Gold brick one of these businesses and don’t stock them. Once a Big Spender arrives, stock ONLY the third item(Gold bricked businesses have instant stocking) and send your Big Spender up to this floor for a cool net return of >250k coins.

Requests
Don’t be shy to request via the ingame menu for dream job minifigures or parts that you are missing. Add your friends in game after you finish the tutorial.

To request, go to the floor that you need workers/dream job workers for, press the wrench icon (top right tool), then press the request worker icon on the subsequent page (top left icon).
Once you have received workers from your friends, don’t forget to switch the request off using the same method.

UI

Tap the topmost portion of your phone screen to be teleported to the top of your tower. Likewise, tap the bottommost portion of your phone screen to be teleported to the lobby.

If you accidentally opened up a mail of a minifigure you are not using yet (eg: Deliveryman), Bring him up a little and then bring him back down to the lobby. A prompt will ask you if you would like to use him later, press “continue” to return him to your mail.

Tower Club
Tower Club lets you gain access to automatic elevators (press once to reach the intended floor, 2x daily rental yield and 2x daily bonus piece as well as access to all the premium backgrounds , rooftops and Elevators. At beta, there was a free 5 days of Tower Club. Is this also available in the retail release? Once Tower Club expires, the Rooftop, Elevator design and Background you chose when it was active will remain active unless you change it again.

Special Characters
There are 24 special characters that can be completed and applied to any of your residents via the completion of piece sets.. If any of the pieces are removed, the special character will “disappear” and your original resident will emerge
Special characters net a 1,000 base rent
As of V1.2.0, this is increased to 26 special characters and special characters are now upgradeable to level 1 (1,000 base rent) to level 10 (2,000 base rent) An upgrade of the character will consume one set of the character. Upgrades are permanent so if you decide to change the special character to another resident, the upgrades that you have previously made will follow.

Consequences
You might face some dire consequences if you decide to time travel 🙂

ARCHIVES (PAST TIPS THAT ARE NO LONGER VALID IN THE LATEST VERSIONS)

Don’t put your residents in the wrong floor!
As at version 1.10 of the game, remember to put the residents received from your friends in your Residential Floors (Make sure you have space!) If you mistakenly put them at their dream jobs,  they will be treated as visitors and will exit the tower soon after visiting and will be gone from the game forever! You don’t want to lose that sweet 900 rent Banana minifigure that your friend graciously gave you 🙁

  1. Thanks for offering some sort of instruction. I’ve had the game since beta and only played a few times, so If i did go through a tutorial, I don’t remember it. What do the hearts mean next to the BB words that the lego characters say? I see there are numbers next to their hearts. Feel free to add me: 2H04

    • Brickbook (BB) is a pseudo Facebook satire and supposed to mimic a resident telling his social network about his/her life in LEGO Tower.
      The number of hearts represent the number of times his/her friends have “liked” his/her shares much like Facebook or Instagram.
      It’s just a cosmetic addition that brings more life to your residents and actually the number of hearts are purely decorative.

      Brickbook is only available when you have the English version of the game.

    • Well, there are some that have made good progress with it but as with all kinds of “gaming” the system, it’s always lonely at the top and takes the fun out of the game.
      Maybe we’d propose a try or two with an alt account just to satisfy the ol’ curiosity.

  2. Is anyone knows if the golden bricks are cumulative (ex. after second rebuild you start with 2 golden bricks)
    Would be good to have some incentive, so far the game feels too simple and not that rewarding.
    In free to play games, Fallout Shelter sets the standard.
    Add me: 138P

  3. I have a question,
    does anybody know wether I can access my old Identity, if I deleted the App and installed lego Tower a second time. Problem is, I din’t register in the cloud. My old ID was: 8YZY5
    Help is thankfully accepted. I’ll send every orange Minifig I get.
    Thanks Mirco

    • Hi Mirco, please drop an email to the customer service at Nimblebit. They might be able to do something from their end once some details are confirmed.

      • Thanks, I’ve tried it, but they didn`t answer.
        Guess I’ll try a second time.
        Otherwise that was bad luck.
        Thanks again.

  4. Three businesses share the prestige of being the most stocked businesses in the game namely Fire Station, Barber and Bike Repair Shop. Gold brick one of these businesses and don’t stock them. Once a Big Spender arrives, stock ONLY the third item(Gold bricked businesses have instant stocking) and send your Big Spender up to this floor for a cool net return of >250k coins

    what does mean? could anyone explain me in simple way how to get 250k? im not speak english.. it means i have to convert one particular shop( fire station ) with golden brick and then send bigspender one flor more or in that same floor( fire station for example )
    thks:)

    • Gold brick one of the three highest stocked businesses as mentioned.
      The Big Spender will choose randomly to buy out one of the three items on that floor.
      When big spender comes, stock only the third item so that the big spender can be able to only buy out the third item
      The third item is sells for the most.

  5. I just tried the bike-repair-shop as a golden Level and it only gave me 125K Coins (with only the thrid item stocked) with the big spender.
    At least in the german Version. Maybe Nimblebit changed the max Stock with the last update.
    I`m going to change it to the ice-creampalour and see how much I get.

  6. Can someone tell me how to customize my avatar? In the Friend’s list all my pals have cool unique customized minifigs, and mine is a boring one.
    Thanks!
