Players take control of different characters from the film in this game, which follows the gameplay style of TT Games' earlier Lego titles. They use Lego pieces to navigate through multiple levels. Environments are entirely constructed from Lego pieces for the first time in the series. Regular Builders (like Emmet in previous stages) and Master Builders (like Batman, Benny, Princess Uni-Kitty, Vitruvius, and Wyldstyle) are the two primary new character types in the game. Instruction pages are located throughout each level for the construction worker characters to use, as regular builders are unable to typically construct objects out of piles of Lego pieces. These are similar to actual LEGO sets in that players follow the directions to construct objects using particular pieces.
