Gameplay

The game consists of an interactive main hub which spans into ten themed stages, (such as Theme Park and Transportopia) and a bonus blank stage, where the player creates their own world from scratch.

In each stage there are ten challenges to complete. Each challenge falls into a category depending on its objective. Each category consists of using certain objects to reach a goal/target (object challenge), by using several items at once to get the target object to the finish and get a high score (Scoretacular), or even building their own machine out of blocks, girders, wheels and hinges (Contraption-o-Matic). Upon completing a challenge, the player will unlock 'Creative Sparks'. Each Spark will reward the player with an item to use in challenges or to their own devices, props to place in their scenery etc.
