LEGO Party! is here, and it’s pretty freakin’ sweet. This is the first example we’ve ever had of someone else taking Nintendo’s tried-and-true Mario Party formula and creating a new entry to the genre that’s on the same level (and even better, in some ways).
As you’d probably expect, LEGO Party! is also focused around mini-games, and there’s no shortage of awesome options here. In total, you and your buddies will have 60 different mini-games to test out and compete against one another in.
But which mini-games are actually the cream of the crop? Honestly, it’s not a super easy question to answer. I had a lot of trouble narrowing this list down to ten, as so many of these games are truly great. This is the rare type of mini-game-centric party title where there really aren’t any outright duds.
From alien diners to funky dance competitions and everything in between, these are the best mini-games that LEGO Party! has to offer.
LEGO Party! only features 1v1v1v1 and 2v2 mini-games. However, I’ve just chosen 1v1v1v1 games below, as I’d argue they lend themselves best to the spirit of competition within this genre.
10 Read The Instructions
Evergreen Advice
Read The Instructions is pretty straightforward, but it’s also so charmingly LEGO that it deserves a mention here. The premise is simple; you’ll have a short timeframe to study a multistep page from a LEGO building manual, with the goal to memorize as many of the pieces as possible.
After the timer expires, everyone will be shown four single LEGO bricks/pieces, and the objective is to pick out the one that isn’t needed for the build page you just studied. Correct answers obviously earn points, but you’ll also get bonuses for responding before the other players.
It’s not the most complicated mini-game ever, but it serves as my favorite memory-based option in all of LEGO Party! since it leans so hard into the nostalgia of actually completing a build in real life.
9 Dirtbike Dash
Bikes Of Excitement
Is Dirtbike Dash just a re-skinned, competitive Excitebike from the NES? Yeah, pretty much. Still, classics earn their titles for a reason, and LEGO Party! understands this.
Here, each player will race one another on dirtbikes, all while navigating the hilly and bumpy terrain of a mountainous desert landscape. If you crash, you’re out. Or, if you fall behind too far beyond the scope of the camera, you’ll be eliminated too.
What makes this one so good, aside from its classic inspiration, is also that the physics of the bikes handle more like the Trials games than anything else. This makes Dirtbike Dash feel modern enough while also keeping its retro charm, and the result is a pretty thrilling challenge to safely out-distance your friends.
8 Dance Off
Feel The Rhythm
I grew up playing drums, so rhythm games have always kind of been my thing. I don’t play them often per se, but whenever I check one out, it clicks pretty much instantaneously. Dance Off was no different.
Simply moving left and right, you’ll collect bricks as they fall down a Guitar Hero-esque highway. Get a streak going, and you’ll earn a multiplier that boosts your score even further, all the way up to x8 points.
This one is a bit of a marathon in length compared to other mini-games, so you’ll have to stay locked in for a while. The only downside here is that the commentators can get a bit distracting and throw you off your groove, but I’d argue that’s probably by design, too.
7 Stop, Drop, And Side Roll
Squid Game + Fall Guys
Stop, Drop, And Side Roll shares some DNA with the glass floor path from Squid Game and the Pick-A-Door game from Fall Guys. Most games in LEGO Party! rely mostly on skill, but this is one that has a healthy dose of RNG mixed in too. Personally, I’m not a big RNG fan in mini-games, but it works really well here.
This is a race with three different obstacles to navigate fastest. The first is a maze with only certain paths that will open up, followed by a set of glass doors where you’ll have to find the breakable panes, capped off with a grid-based floor where certain tiles will fall once stepped upon.
This one brings the chaos you might be craving from a video game in this genre, but still feels like there’s enough actual strategy involved that keeps it from feeling too completely random.
6 Saucerlord
UFO Wrangler
In Saucerlord, everyone competes to bump a constantly moving UFO into the square of their own color for a certain amount of time. Since the UFO is always on the go, trying to keep it in one place is much easier said than done.
Where this mini-game shines is in the collusion and ever-evolving strategy that you can come up with on the fly among the other players. Say Yellow is about to fill their grid and win. It might be time to have everyone gang up to keep the UFO out of Yellow’s zone, while you’re looking to sneakily guide it back to your grid all the while.
There’s a lot of skill involved here, but it also hinges on the movements of the UFO itself, adding a nice layer of chaos while still rewarding smart and efficient play.
5 Perfect Pillars
Reach For The Sky
If you’re as old as I am and were around for the mobile game boom that we all lived through as iPod Touches first burst onto the scene, you may remember a game called Stack. In this game, you’d simply tap the screen to build a tower taller and taller as the next piece of the structure moved forward and backward at the summit of what you had already built.
Stack always kind of felt like a LEGO-inspired mobile game, so it made total sense for it to be included in a different variation here. Since it’s a competition, you’re just competing to make your structure taller than everyone else’s. Build too carelessly, and you’ll ultimately run out of space for new bricks, leading to your demise.
I must admit that I wish this game ran a little bit longer, but that might simply be because I’m still conditioned to expect mega tall structures from back in my Stack days. Regardless, this game rules, and is a great hand-eye coordination and timing-based challenge to try to win.
4 Forklift Fumble
OSHA’s Worst Nightmare
In Forklift Fumble, you’re trying to drive a forklift as far as possible along a hilly path before the timer runs out. The more distance you cover, the more points you’ll earn. The catch here is that you’re also trying to safely transport nine loose LEGO bricks at the same time as well.
Each brick you retain by the end of the round adds a multiplier to your score, so Forklift Fumble becomes a literal balancing act between trying to cover a lot of distance and trying to keep your cargo steady. With four human players, this one feels like pure chaos and will likely lead to some hooting and/or hollering across all three rounds of the competition.
This is the first mention of a mini-game on this list that is played over the course of three rounds, which I think is an awesome mechanic in LEGO Party! since it gives you a second and third chance to come to terms with the controls of the game instead of just giving you a single attempt where you might not be comfortable yet.
3 Deep Space Dine
Alien Grub Hub
If you like games like Overcooked!, then you’re going to like Deep Space Dine. Controlling a little helicopter with a suction cup, you’ll build burgers for your specific alien customer based on the orders they’re calling out to you.
Of course, it’s not only as simple as finding the right ingredient on the conveyor belt, suctioning onto it, and taking it back to your patron. Often, other players will be gunning for the same food items that you are, making Deep Space Dine a race for a coveted tomato or a slice of cheese over and over.
I like Overcooked!, but get stressed out if I play too much in one go. Deep Space Dine gives me my kitchen management fix in a bite-size manner, all while also turning into a chaotic but skill-based competition against my friends.
2 Makin’ Monsters
And Makin’ Friends
Makin’ Monsters is the epitome of LEGO, and the best actual example of the famous brick toy that we get in this collection of mini-games. The goal here is to use LEGO bricks of your own color to build a series of three monsters that will increase in complexity each round.
You’re given a pattern to follow to build your monster, and a collection of bricks that you’ll have to position ever so perfectly on your template in order to complete your goal and move on. It might sound simple, but some of the solutions here will take more thought (and a little trial and error) than you might realize.
This one simply feels extra intense once all four players reach the final round of building, and can also stretch out longer than most mini-games as everyone works to solve the final puzzle. It’s more thrilling than most others in the game, and feels extra rewarding when you’re able to claim a victory.
1 Feeling Golfy
Mini-Golf Battle Royale
I’m an aspiring golfer, but I’ve always thought I missed a calling to go pro in mini-golf. It’s my favorite cliché vacation activity. Feeling Golfy in LEGO Party! puts a spin on the mini-golf formula that I think is fun, creative, and exciting.
All four players will compete at the same time to bump into their golf ball and guide it to the hole at the end of the course before the others. This is another mini-game that’s played across three rounds, and the hole layouts get more and more complex each time. There are also hazards that will slow you down, like sand traps and well-placed obstacles.
What makes Feeling Golfy so good, however, is that you can leave the typical golf etiquette at the door. Since everyone is competing at the same time, what’s stopping you from griefing your buddies and sending their golf ball in the complete wrong direction whenever you can? Enjoy the chaos of this one and play it as cut-throat as you please. Just make sure you get your ball to the hole eventually.
