Grab your magnifying glass, fellow sleuths. A new LEGO® Ideas project called Enola Holmes puts the brilliant young detective front and center in brick form. Designed by BRICKUP and inspired by the three Enola Holmes films, the build celebrates wit, courage, and one very clever opening trick. Ready to play detective?

Here is where the design earns a standing ovation. The whole thing is a single compact module that looks like an ordinary London street corner when closed, then unfolds to reveal three scenes tucked inside. That kind of folding mechanism is one of the most satisfying moves a builder can pull off, and it means you get triple the story from one tidy footprint (no small feat at roughly 700 pieces).

Open it up and the world of Enola Holmes springs to life. The street exterior shows off Victorian architecture peppered with hidden easter eggs, newspaper headlines, and sly nods to her most famous cases. Inside sits her detective office, complete with a desk, magnifying glasses, mysterious letters, and disguise elements. A secret backroom hides at the rear, where Enola plots her next move on a chalkboard and stays a step ahead of brothers Mycroft and Sherlock. The included minifigure even looks ready to break the fourth wall and stare right at you.

BRICKUP built this out of genuine love for the movies and books, aiming for something affordable and packed with detail for play or display. So far the Enola Holmes project has gathered 184 supporters, with a long road still ahead to reach the 10,000 needed for LEGO® review.

Fancy solving this mystery together? Head to LEGO® Ideas, add your vote, and help Enola set up her agency for good. As she says herself, "Alone myself can manage very well", but a few thousand more detectives on the case certainly would not hurt, would it?
