Here though, you use actual Lego minifigures and build real Lego kits. Pop them off their little NFC stands and kids can play with them, just as they would any other Lego toy. The construction process is even built into the game, with on-screen instruction booklets which walk you through the creation of the portal device used to bring characters into the game. As the game progresses, and you gather the elemental keystones that aid you in your quest, you're told to place those very same stones on the front of your own portal. The game doesn't know if you do it, of course, but it adds an element of interactive pantomime that supports the fiction. The inclusion of Portal is more than a little leftfield, but it leads to one of the best sections in the game.

Masterbuilds are special building tasks initiated by Wyldstyle. Masterbuild spots are indicated in the game by a glowing purple circle. To begin a masterbuild move Wyldstyle to the glowing circle in-game, then move the Wyldstyle minifigure to each of three sections of the Toy Pad as indicated by the flashing purple sections of the on-screen Toy Pad diagram.Parish, Jeremy (2 September 2021).
