Lego Party

Lego Party is heavily inspired by franchises such as Mario Party, allowing four players to compete by rolling numbers and progressing through various boards. There are four levels to choose from, each inspired by an existing Lego theme, such as Lego Ninjago, Lego Pirates, and Lego Space. Varying spots on the board will have effects on the player, such as handing them a disadvantage through traps or allowing them to progress further with shortcuts.

After the four players have completed one round, a bonus game will begin from a pool of over 60 unique minigames. Examples of minigames in Lego Party include balancing on a unicycle to win a race, and jumping over a spinning octopus tentacle until one player remains standing. Minigames can also be triggered during a round by landing on a unique tile, which will trigger a 2-vs-2 game forcing players to form a duo and temporarily work together.

Lego Party! was first announced at Summer Game Fest with a release window of late 2025. It was developed by Australian team SMG Studio, who is best known for the 2020 game Moving Out, and it is the first game published by Fictions since their formation. The game was directed by SMG Studio project director Mark Fennell. Lego Party was developed in the Unity 3D engine.

During development of the game, over 100 playtests were completed with families of all ages to determine ways to make the game accessible. Some children cried during these playtests due to unforgiving rules where golden bricks would be indiscriminately stolen from their inventory. This feedback prompted the developers to enable a mercy choice which lets players decide if they want to steal a brick or not.

Early previews of Lego Party! were conducted at Summer Game Fest with 30-minute play sessions for journalists. Christopher Cruz of Rolling Stone included Lego Party on his list of best games at the event, calling it "ludicrously fun" and describing it as "potentially the best modern contender for the casual couch boardgame crown". Matt Kim of IGN pointed out the game's accessibility across platforms, concluding that if "the rest of the games are anywhere near as fun as the handful that [IGN] played, I can see Lego Party having the kind of addictive appeal Mario Party has had – which is especially good news for PlayStation and Xbox players that don't have access to Mario Party".
