FAQs
How much does it cost to access the Secret Files?
The Secret Files are currently free to download.
What do I get when I access the Secret Files?
The clickable link takes you to a pdf file which is a step-by-step photo guide to building Charlie's designs.
Can I get these instructions anywhere else?
You will not find these builds anywhere else because they are Charlie's own, original creations.
How old do you have to be to access the Secret Files?
The step-by-step instructions for Lego builds (aka The Secret Files) are suitable for any age. Minimal wording and clear pictures make them simple to follow for anyone who is old enough for Lego.
What age are these builds aimed at?
Charlie himself is in the 7-11 age bracket and his designs reflect his preferences and interests, though anyone could enjoy building his models.
Can I download/save/print the Secret Files?
Yes, you can save the pdfs to use offline and you can print them, though they are full of large photographs which will take a lot of printer ink.
Will my child be able to follow the instructions on their own?
This depends on the ability of the child but these are photo-guides, made with minimum wording, so they are easy to follow and fun to work through. The challenge might be in not having the same Lego pieces as shown in the guides. In this case, a more experienced Lego builder may need to help with the selection of suitable alternative pieces.
What if I don't have the exact same Lego pieces as shown in the instructions?
Charlie builds his Lego creations from whatever pieces he has to hand and we encourage you to do the same. You can make the builds uniquely your own by using different colours/dimensions and alternative components. Charlie's step-by-step instructions can serve as a starting point for your own imaginative designs.
