LEGO Games: Creationary Giveaway!
I have great memories of playing with Lego as a child. It’s one of those toys that you can spend hours on and it’s exponentially better when you have others to play it with you. Amongst other things, I loved making jet fighter planes out of Lego with my cousins :-)
Lego recently launched a range of Games and I was sent the ‘Creationary‘ game to try out with the girls.
Creationary is much like the classic Pictionary but with Lego :-) You roll the dice, which is covered in different categories, and then pick a card (Easy, Medium Difficulty or very Difficult). You then use the Lego to make the object on the card, belonging to category you’ve rolled on the dice. And the other players try to guess what it is!
There are other modes of play depending on the number of players in the game. It’s recommended for children 7 years and older, and I think kids younger than this would still enjoy the game but would need some extra help with recreating some of the objects (like my girls did). However, it does mean that big kids (like you and me!) can join in too!
I think it’s a really fun twist to your standard board game and a great excuse for the whole family to play with some Lego :-)
And the good news is that Lego are generously offering two Creationary games to giveaway!!
If you’d like to be in the running to win, just a leave comment on this post by midnight, Friday 8th October (AEST). In your comment, let me know what board game you’d love to see incorporated with Lego. Next Sunday, two winners will be drawn randomly.
Thanks Lego!

I’d like to see the game ‘squatter’ in lego – that would be fun building your farming empire!

What an awesome giveaway! We’re a big Lego family, so I would love to win this.
Definitely a Lego Monopoly – where you build the houses and motels as you need them and you have little lego men to travel around the board with.

Oh my goodness, that is so cool! My nephews would absolutely love it and it would be the perfect christmas present.
Now if it was for me, I’d love to play Monopoly Lego – imagine if you had to actually build the houses and hotels using lego pieces that you buy along the way!

I’m loving the look of these lego games! I’d like to see something based on the snakes and ladders concept in lego.

I was looking at this game in the shops that other day and thought what a great idea. Lego Monopoly would be fantastic.

October 3rd, 2010 at 8:39 pm
That is such lovely game. I hope we’ll see it in our stores!
We would like some balancing in board games. :D

Lego, lego, lego – the greatest toy on earth! And I love the concept of Lego Pictionary. Maybe Lego Cluedo could work – build a version of Miss Plum with her weapon of choice!!

October 3rd, 2010 at 9:01 pm
OOh, yay, more competitions. I have two boys who have been getting the wants for these every time we pass the toy shop lately! I’d love to see Lego Monopoly – I noted others have listed this already too. Or maybe Lego Operation – perhaps a grown up version where you have to make all the body parts to fit!!!
[Reply]
October 3rd, 2010 at 9:36 pm
I love what Lego are doing lately, and a Lego version of Mousetrap would be excellent, you could build a super Lego trap I’m sure.
[Reply]
October 3rd, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Oh WOW! My granddaughter and I would love this game! Hope I win! Thanks for sharing!

Just like many others I would love to see a Lego Monopoly. That would be so much fun!
[Reply]

Oh my son would love this for family game night. He loves anything to do with Legos.
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 5:29 am
LEGO game of life! You could build the little car and add a person for each child etc. and the wee buildings could be lego. cute!
This is on my sons ‘Santa list’ so I would be very grateful to win it : ) Not to mention the fact that I’d love to play it myself. heh.

I have always loved Lego! Thanks for this!

I’d really love to see a Lego Charades version where you had to build scenes/characters to play out the words!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 7:30 am
What a great Giveaway,
I think Lego Monopoly would be lots of fun…..a challenge to all the family.
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 8:01 am
How about Lego Connect Four?! I think that could be cool.
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 8:41 am
Maybe I will be better at this than pictionary. I agree Lego Monopoly would be cool
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 9:13 am
I’m sure my kids (and husband, and me) would absolutely love that game!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 9:17 am
Cool Lego game. Maybe make your own Hungry Hungry Hippo’s out of lego.
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 9:28 am
What a great idea and giveaway! My 5 year old daughter is just starting to get into Lego and this way of playing with it would suit her perfectly. She’s not much into building big towers or structures, she’s more interested in making things that she can then use to play imaginative games – like ponies rescuing a cat. :)
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Oh Legos are fun! I agree that I’d like to see a Lego Monopoly version. ;)

My boys LIVE and BREATHE Lego! They make anything and everything out of it – last night my 10 y/o made his own lego Dr Who set, complete with the Dr, Amy Pond, sonic screwdriver and a dalek! I have even known them to go to sleep with a lego catalogue under their pillow – probably so they can dream about lego!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Monopoly Schmopoly!!Nice idea girls, but no!!
The next big thing in Lego, really needs to be Lego “Guess Who”! That would be totally, awesomely cool! In our house, we love Minifigs the best, so “Guess Who” would basically be a whole game of Minifig building!!
Have a look on the Lego website too – there’s a great looking Robot game where you build your own robots! That’s also on my boys’ Christmas list. We do have to be a little careful though, as our Little Miss does quite like the taste of all of the colourful bricks!

I just bought the new Lego Harry Potter board game for my son’s coming birthday. It would be great to have this as well! I loved playing Pictionary when I was younger.
How about a Lego Cluedo?
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 11:45 am
A version of Lego Cooties would be awesome! This game looks to be a lot of fun!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 11:53 am
Not sure what game I’d like to see a Lego version of — maybe something like RushHour.
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Lego Scrabble – so you can build on top of letters like Upwords.
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
I would love to see lego chinese checkers!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
I always loved Mouse Trap as a kid – there is definite Lego potential there!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Oh my family loves LEGO and we’ve never heard of this game!!!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Great concept! My suggestion is a lego version of Pop-Up Pirate…….adding the bricks triggers the pirate pop!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
i dont know anyone who doesnt like LEGO. my kids cant get enough of it, i would say TROUBLE or SNAKES AND LADDERS.
Good luck everyone

My hubby is the Lego fan in our house (still has his collection from childhood days!) and he would love to see a Monopoly version and if there could be some sort of Chess version he would happily purchase that also :-)
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
We are a family of lego lovers too. We would love a form of battleships in lego pieces, incorporating breaking apart and rebuilding. I also agree that lego monopoly would be fun. Great giveaway!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Very creative use of Lego. It will make a great Christmas present for my nieces. Look forward to “helping” them.
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I think a version of Lego chess would be adorable! Imagine a black and white Lego chess board where you get to play with Lego kings and queens! Too cute! :)
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I love, love board games. I like the idea of Lego chess, or Lego battleships…
Great giveaway Jhoanna!
[Reply]
October 4th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
What a lovely looking game! I loved a board game called ‘game of life’ (I think!) as a kid. It had little cars and peg people hat you added to as you went through life. A lego version would be cool.
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 12:36 am
This game would be so great to win, thanks for the giveaway. We tend to play trivial pursuit which I don’t particularily enjoy but if there was anyway of adding Lego’s to the challenge it would certainly liven that game up:)
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 1:36 am
I think Lego should make a boardgame based on Travel the World!
The players need to assemble different countries based on the shape and colour by picking a card from a shuffled deck. Every country to be assembled must have the same number of lego pieces. Players will take turns collecting the correct coloured lego pieces that fit and the correct monuments for that country. The winner will be the player who manages to assemble the respective country with monuments and gather the correct lego people with their national costumes for that country.
Should be fun and be called something like United Nations of Lego!

October 5th, 2010 at 3:30 am
My daughter lives and breathes Legos. She is always coming up with ideas for new sets, and she would love the idea of Creationary! Currently, there is a rather Jenga-like Star Wars assemblage on our dining room table complete with Darth Vader, birds, and flowers!
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 4:35 am
Thanks for the give-away — Our family LOVES lego. I’d be all over a lego mousetrap game…building contraptions with lego! What fun!
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 5:03 am
My husband has been collecting Lego’s his entire life. For all of you wanting Lego chess, it exists :)
I think Lego Clue would be lots of fun. And I like the idea of Lego Mouse Trap too.
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 6:12 am
There’s a mini-RP french game called Siag Mortis that is spoken based, but really really creative. It’s all about finding excuses about your mission failure using random elements.
Using LEGO to illustrate would be just great.
A Lego fan.

October 5th, 2010 at 8:59 am
I think my hubby is secretly desperate to get his hands on some of these new lego games. What a fantastic idea. Monopoly was the first game that came to my mind too when thinking about other games that could use lego.
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 11:20 am
Whoa that’s pretty sweet. A Settlers of Catan lego game would be nifty, building armies, settlements and cities out of legos. Yeahhh
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 11:39 am
I would love to see Monopoly incorporated into lego. Not sure how but it would be fun!
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Oh my gosh, you have no idea how timely this is! My girls are totally in love with Legos right now, we’re heading to a Lego Mini Model Built tomorrow night with some friends, in fact. Would love this. Even if I don’t win, I must look for this and get it for Christmas!
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Oh, whoops! I’d love to see Legos incorporated with the Mousetrap game. Like build your own Mousetrap!
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
What a great giveaway – I think Lego should be incorporated into checkers – then when you put two pieces on top of each other as a king they couldnt slip off!
[Reply]
October 5th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Love these new Lego games! Lego Battleships would be great, how much fun could you have building little aircraft carriers :-)

This isn’t a board game but what about edible Lego pieces of chocolates or lollies? When you are finished playing with them, peel off coloured wrapping and eat! Yum!
