Lego Games just broke the Guinness World Records title for the largest Lego Brick Diorama. The massive structure is a real-world representation of Lego Tower, an upcoming game in which players manage their own tiny skyscrapers where Minifigures live.

The record-breaking diorama weighs in at 880 pounds (400 kilograms) and spans 226 square feet (21 square meters). It was assembled at the Lego House in Billund, Denmark. More than 1500 fans joined together to recreate 554 rooms.

These include apartments and shops from the upcoming mobile game, which was created in conjunction with NimbleBit.

“Seeing the Lego community come together to build Lego Tower in the real world has truly been a captivating and rewarding experience over the last three days,” said Ian Marsh, co-founder of NimbleBit.
