Brickbrag is a free, no-download multiplayer brick-building world that runs in the browser on phone and computer. It centers on a shared town around a giant rainbow B with shops to buy bricks and vehicles, a race track with live lap leaderboards, an airfield for small flying trikes, and robot-driven buses that shuttle players to distant biomes: volcano, snowy mountains, beach, canyon, flower fields and more. Players can grab hundreds of brick parts in many colors, build collaboratively in public or purchase a private land lot that they alone can modify and keep. Screens shown are taken from live gameplay, and the game uses parts from the LDraw library (CC BY 4.0).
Gameplay mixes casual socializing with building, racing and flying: drive cars off the dealer lot, beat lap times at the gantry, pilot trikes from the runway, ride buses to explore, chat, send gifts of coins and bricks, and check who’s online or in the Hall of Fame. Controls are provided for keyboard and touch, with simple on-screen buttons for building, color picking, vehicle entry, and camera. Sponsorship opportunities and in-world ad spaces are available, and the team invites players and feedback via the provided contact.

Adjusting the network.http.response.timeout setting in Firefox to a large value or zero improves the ability to resume large downloads and enhances stability, provided the server supports resumable downloads.
