Lego City Games

Lego is currently one of the biggest toy franchises in the world, and a leader in the world of entertainment for children, which is why when it comes to Lego Games online, there is quite a big variety. While we do have a category dedicated to all games with Lego on one page, there are various themes and sub-franchisees from Lego that deserve their own place on our website, especially because we want the fans of them to be able to find them more easily.

One of the best categories of games coming from Lego is this one, then, the Lego City Games category, based on the theme with the same name, which is one of the original three themes that launched Lego, along with Castle and Space. A Lego theme would mean a brand that would contain all the blocks and figurines that are thematically-connected with one another, such as it is the case of this one, which is all about city life and the people living in it, as well as the buildings of a city.

While the theme is one of the first ones, and it came first, this category is more dedicated to the different games that have appeared over the years and have been inspired by this theme and set in that world. Not only that, but there have been television shows made for it as well, with the latest one being Nickelodeon’s Lego City Adventures. Of course, we are happy to announce that we have all the best Lego City Adventures Games, so you are in the best place for them!

The world of Lego City

Of course, you probably know what Legos are, right? If you don’t, just let us tell you that they are bricks in different colors and shapes that can be connected with one another and which kids can use to build structures. They either construct something given in a set, doing it in that manner, or they can use their imagination and combine the bricks however they want to, creating something entirely new.

Just like in real life, before there were cities, there were towns, which is why the precursor of this franchise was called Lego Town, which featured sets that resemble those of towns, so they were not as vast and big. At first, the vehicles that were available would not fit with the mini-figures of their drivers, but around the 1980’s changed, which is one of the main factors in the creation of Lego City, because those vehicles would be useless without someone in them.

Among the many things that these sets wanted to depict for kids were the different people living and working in the city, especially the people who are working to keep the city clean, healthy, sustainable, and safe. That is why in these sets you can build facilities for the police or the fire department, complete with their specific cars, you can create an airport, so people can come in and out, lego trains as well, and even construction sites.

Of course, the important buildings of a city can also be built with Legos in this theme, setting up things like the city hall, parks, the town hall, monuments to historical figures, skyscrapers used for business, and many more. Many of the sets have clearly been inspired by real-life famous cities such as New York, L.A, Berlin, London, Paris, Rome, and more!

These Lego sets are definitely a great source of education for children, who can definitely learn more about cities and how they are run through these toys, for entertainment, as it is fun to put the pieces together, and, of course, it makes their imagination even bigger, as they might want to move the pieces around and give the towns and cities whole new looks!
 

Lego City in Film and Television

As any popular toy franchise does, Lego City was also exposed in other media, so that it gains a whole new audience through the power of films or television shows, as well as make happy the many kids and maybe even adults that were already fans of the franchise, and so far, it has been proven to us that you can’t have enough Lego on big or small screens!

One aspect from Lego City that had been very important in The Lego Movie, the smash-hit at the box-office, was the company Octan. Octan is a fictional oil company set in the world of Lego, and in the movie, it is the company owned by the main villain of the movie, Lord Business, whose company produces all of the commodities in the world of Lego figurines.

Before coming to television and movies, Lego City was first featured in two video games, with the first one being 2013’s Lego City Undercover. In it, you play the role of Chase McCain, an undercover police officer who needs help in hunting down criminals through the city. He is similar to Spider-Man because he can do wall jumps as well as crawl the walls. There was also a prequel called Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins.

Of course, we now have to mention the animated show that convinced us to create this page in the first place, and that is 2019’s Lego City Adventures, which is currently airing on Nickelodeon, which is surprising and welcome since Lego shows had not aired on this network since way back in 2010. The show is computer-animated, making it similar in aesthetic to the Lego movies that were really popular these past years.

Lego City is actually the name of the city where the action of the show takes place, with the show being quite grounded in reality, not having fantastical elements like in many other Lego proprieties, and it focuses on the characters and people that make the life in a city work for everyone. The police force is represented by Sgt. Duke DeTain, the fire department has Chief Freya McCloud, or we’ve got Shirley Keeper, a grumpy street sweeper.

Other characters include Harl Hubbs, a passionate handyman, Solomon Fleck, the mayor always dedicated to his people, people from business, commerce, and other facets of the city that give it life day after day. The episodes of the show focus on different characters, showing us how they do their tasks, and it is always in a fun and funny manner so that the kids watching learn and are entertained at the same time!
 

Lego City Games to play

At the moment of this writing, there are four types of games with Lego City that you can play and have fun with, with two of them being Lego City Hero Academy Games, where you find out if you are fit to be one of the heroes in the city. The first one is a quiz game, where you find out if you have what it takes to be a part of Lego police or the Lego firefighters. The other one will not test you just individually, because City Dash is a game where you take either of these two roles and spring into action in a running and jumping game where you have to duck obstacles to reach your targets!

Unfortunately, even in the big and awesome world of Lego there are criminals, and the ones from Lego City end up in Lego City Prison Island, which is the name of a game where you have to deal with the criminals on the prison island who are trying to escape, so you have to outsmart them, making sure that they don’t end back in society. Finally, based on this new show you watch and love, we’ve got the game called Lego City Adventures Build and Protect. It is a simulator game similar to The Sims, where you build and improve on the Lego City, making sure that everything is proper, and the people there are happy, using the help of the characters in the show.

As it can clearly be seen, there are lots of ways that you can have fun with our free Lego City Games for kids we’ve brought you here so far, and, because we believe that new games are constantly going to be added here in the future, we are inviting you to return to our website as often as you can, being the first one to play them every time, and having incredible fun with them!
