Hidden Side was a theme released on August 1st, 2019. It was unveiled by LEGO in February 14, 2019. [1] The theme is focused around the haunted town of Newbury and is designed with an augmented reality (AR) app, allowing users to capture ghosts while solving mysteries within the spooky town.
The app is downloadable from the App Store and Google Play. Even though the sets are based around an app, the sets are like any other standard system set and have standard playable features regardless of AR. At launch, the theme had eight sets.
The theme was discontinued at the end of 2020, although there was an update to the Hidden Side app in March 2021.
