As in nature only who survives and evolves Lego knows. By plastic bricks it has become a sprawling who knew how to penetrate the film and television, video games and apps as evidenced by the new series Nexo Knights, Sept. 14 that mix real and virtual thanks to an app. Let’s start with bricks. The setting is unique: the riders protagonists fight the evil Jestro and his henchmen in a techno-fantasy world that links high technology and atmosphere typical of the literary Middle Ages, from the Lord of the Rings in Shannara through all that literature generally he has been able to invent. Another feature is the magician, a sort of futuristic Merlin here called Merlok 2.0. Clearly we can play it already so, building castles, fascinating machinery and fearsome monsters or inventing stories as we are accustomed. The great thing though is that these Nexo Knights beyond.

From bricks to the video game

once you download the dedicated app on iOS and Android, yellow men enter the digital offering other gambling opportunities. Just point a rider and his horse robotics with the smartphone camera and the tablet to bring the little man in digital and play inside a video game halfway between adventure and role-playing. The fighting and missions enhance the strength and the characteristics of the character which can then be further strengthened thanks to a found very innovative. Scattered in the real world in fact we can find the so-called technological shields, QR codes that, when scanned with the camera of our portable devices, add special abilities to the character which we will use in the game.

The main novelty is this. The 150 Shields are scattered everywhere: you are inside of the Lego sites, in magazines and catalogs but also on television through the animated series in 20 episodes and YouTube. The jump is therefore threefold: bricks, apps and multimedia come together in a cross-media mix that highlights

the evolution of Lego in recent years. Game as carpentry in Billund, Denmark, in 1916, began producing the bricks in 1949 and after fifty years of success was going to end up in bankruptcy. 2003 and 2004 were the years blacks from which the company was able to get up only through a radical change. At the base there were always yellow men but have won the TV and cinema, video games and apps, theme parks scattered around the world and the books, comics, magazines, managing to bring the children of today to that same dexterity that had conquered grandparents and parents. An enterprise that seemed impossible given the advanced technology of games but was successful.
