The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Part 1 Playset |
After an introductory cut scene, you're taken to the hub map, where you control Indiana Jones and Mac. (If you're playing alone, press Free Tag to switch characters.) At first, only the area near the college campus is accessible. If you like, you can explore a bit before starting the Crystal Skull storyline. Smash objects and gather studs. Look for a few of the hidden Colored Bricks and get a feel for the controls.
Level Entrances
The entrance to the next unplayed Story Level is almost always marked by a big green arrow. Sometimes the entrance is obvious. Sometimes you'll need to do something special in order to access it. If you're having trouble finding the next level entrance, check the maps below and/or refer to the Story Level Introduction.
Treasure Level entrances are indicated by gold arrows. They are usually found in the same place as their Story Level counterparts. If you're not sure where to go, check the aerial maps below or the Treasure Level Intro.
Bonus Levels can a bit tricky to find. Sometimes they're hidden. Sometimes you'll need characters with special skills to get in. Again, refer to the map for the general location of each bonus level. Or see the Bonus Level Introduction for specifics.
There is only one Super Bonus Level in each hub. In order to access it you must win all 10 Artifacts, one for each Treasure and Bonus Level. The artifacts are collected in one place on the map. When you have them all, use them to construct the level entrance. For details, see the Super Bonus Level page.
The game introduction includes some helpful notes on replaying levels.

NOTE: The first time you play Story Level 1, the entrance is located at the railroad crossing in the College Town area (near L5 in the College Town area). After you've beaten it once, the Story and Treasure Level entrance is the same (L1 in the Hangar 51 area). |
Races & Other Challenges
(Click any of the screenshots below to enlarge.)
FIRE BRIGADE: After completing the Doom Town Story Level, return to the demolished Doom Town neighborhood and use the water bottles to extinguish the burning house (R1 on the Hub Maps above). Toss bottles just as you would any object: Press Use to take a bottle from the crate, hold Attack to target a section of the fire, then release the Attack button to throw the bottle. Repeat until the fire is out.
A goup of mannequins will then attack. When you've fought them all, the Mannequin Man, Mannequin Woman, Mannequin Boy and Mannequin Girl will approach and you can buy them.
Use the water bottles to put out the fire. |
Fight the mannequins to unlock the mannequin characters. |
HOTROD RACE: The Hotrod can be found at the top of the College Town area after completing the Café Chaos Story Level. It costs 30,000 studs to unlock. Once you have it, drive over to the railroad crossing to find the starting gate for this race (R2 on the Hub Maps above). Follow the trail of studs along the street, past the gas station and down into the Hangar 51 army base, where you'll cross the finish line. Winning this race unlocks the Stanforth and Greaser characters. You'll find them back in the College Town area.
Locate the Hotrod in the College Town area and unlock it. |
The start of the race is just beyond the railroad crossing. |
|
Follow the markers to the finish line near Hangar 51. |
SABRE JET RACE: The Sabre Jet is located on a green LEGO runway at the bottom center of the map. You'll need Mutt (see Characters) to repair the generator and extend the runway. Then you'll be able to unlock the jet for 250,000 studs.
Take off and fly back toward the Doom Town neighborhood, where you'll find the starting gate for this race (R3 on the Hub Maps above). The racecourse is arranged counter-clockwise around the edge of the hub map, so you'll need to cross the starting line by flying toward the Doom Town houses, rather than away from them. Then follow the line of studs in the air to locate the next gate—up and left toward College Town, over the vacant lot and down toward Hangar 51, then back up and to the right. The finish line is just beyond the starting gate, so you're basically making a big circle and finishing where you started. When you've won, Taylor and General Ross appear at the bottom right corner of the map, near the entrance to the Interrogation Room Bonus Level.
You can't land the plane. So, when you're ready to stop flying, just jump out of the jet and parachute down to the ground.
FRIDGE CAR RACE: Before you can do this race, you'll need to complete the Doom Town Story Level, which causes the refrigerator to appear in the College Town area. You'll also need to unlock the Russian Digger character. (See the Characters page for details.) Use the Russian Digger's shovel to unearth the Fridge Car and spend 35,000 studs to purchase it. Then get in the car and drive down to the Doom Town neighborhood (R4 on the Hub Maps above).
When you get there, you'll see the start of the racecourse. Position the fridge car in front of the starting line facing away from the houses. Drive through the starting gate and then follow the trail of studs through the various other gates to finish the race in the vacant lot between the College Town and Hangar 52. Winning this race unlocks the College Female character. She can be found near the café in College Town.
Dig up and buy the refrigerator. |
The start of the race is down in Doom Town. |
|
Follow the markers to the finish line in the vacant lot. |
WHACK-A-PRAIRIE-DOG: Once you've unlocked the Russian Digger (as described on the Characters page), go to the scrubby, open lot between Hangar 52 and College Town (R5 on the Hub Maps above). There you'll find several donut-shaped objects buried in the ground. Dig up the sparkling one to start this challenge. Seven prairie dogs take turns popping up out of the holes. Hit each one as it appears to stun it temporarily. When you manage to stun all seven at once, you win (yay!) and the Hangar Guard and Ice Cream Van appear across the road near the gas station.
Dig up the sparkling object in the vacant lot. |
Hit each prairie dog as it pops up until you've stunned all of them at the same time. |
