Picture this: a chill father-son gaming night, me and Tanner teaming up in LEGO Worlds to conquer towers and unlock worlds. Five minutes in, he’s pelting me with bananas, tricking me off cliffs, and hijacking vampire cars.
Teamwork? Dead. Chaos? Alive and thriving.
Here’s how my 5-year-old sabotaged me—and why it’s the most fun I’ve had in ages.
What’s LEGO Worlds? A Sandbox for Chaos
If you don’t know, LEGO Worlds is a digital LEGO playground—build stuff, explore wild maps, unlock monster trucks and spooky towns, all with no rules and endless potential. It’s perfect for a dad and kid to mess around in. Or, as Tanner proved, to mess with each other in. We jumped back in for some “epic adventures,” and oh boy, did we get ‘em—just not the kind I planned.
Banana Bombs and Fish Fights: The Chaos Begins
We load in, and I’m all business—spot a tower, start climbing, narrating for the camera like a pro. Then a banana whizzes past my head. “Did you just throw that at me?” I ask. “Nooo,” Tanner lies, giggling like a gremlin. I grab a fish and fire back—“Don’t hit me with that fish, bro!” he yells, dodging. Too late. It’s on. The Great Banana-Fish Battle erupts, and my “look cool” plan drowns in laughter. Tanner’s shouting, “Get over here, I’m gonna hit you with this banana!” while I’m chasing him with, “Think you can fish me and get away with it?” Teamwork’s toast, and I’m loving it.
Then we discover you can change character colors. I go red, he’s green, and suddenly he’s hollering, “Dad, where’d you go?!” while I’m right next to him. “Look up, bro!” I say, climbing the tower. He looks too hard, overshoots, and lands on me—“Sorry, bro!” Classic Tanner. We even try painting the ocean purple (no dice), but the real win’s the confusion.
Vehicle Madness: From Epic Fails to Monster Trucks
Next, we snag a car—our one shining teamwork moment. “We got this!” I say. Tanner floors it… straight into deep water. “Don’t worry, bro, I got it!” he promises, then flails as it sinks. I’m dying laughing, yelling, “I gotta save our car!” while he’s like, “They’re gonna be so happy we fixed it!” Spoiler: we didn’t. It’s underwater chaos, and Tanner’s confidence is comedy gold.
Vehicles keep the madness rolling. I grab a police motorcycle, he tricks me off a cliff—“Just trust me, Dad!”—and I fall for it, plummeting with a “Later, nerd!” We unlock a helicopter, and he’s buzzing me, shouting, “I’m coming for you, sir!” I retaliate by “accidentally” smashing his ride—“You broke my police car, bro, what the heck?!” he screeches. Then, jackpot: a monster truck. “Where’d that come from?!” he gasps as I roll up. “Unlocked it, dude—it’s cool!” We trade turns crushing stuff ‘til lunch calls.
Unlocking Spooky Town: Tanner Takes Over
After collecting our tenth yellow brick—high-fives all around—we unlock a new world. “We did it, bro!” I cheer. It’s a spooky town—witches, broomsticks, vampire vibes. Tanner’s in heaven. A witch needs her broomstick and cat, so I’m chasing them down—“Get in front of him, stop him!”—while Tanner hijacks Lord Vampire’s ride. “Take it for a drive, dude, it’s awesome!” I say, chasing on my motorcycle. He’s flying high, yelling, “Look down, you’re so high, bro!” I grab a helicopter, he crashes into me—“Ow, you just bopped me!”—and we’re cackling through the wreckage.
Why This Beats Any “Normal” Game Night
LEGO Worlds is a blast—open-world freedom, goofy unlocks, the works. But the real win? Tanner’s chaos. That banana ambush, the cliff trick, the “I got this!” fail—these aren’t just games, they’re us. At 40, I’m grinding work and court battles, but with Tanner, it’s pure, messy joy. These are the moments he’ll remember when he’s too old for Dad’s nerdy antics, and I’ll cling to when life gets heavy. Sabotage included.
Grab This Game—Chaos Guaranteed
If you’ve got a kid, a buddy, or just a chaos itch, LEGO Worlds delivers. It’s got adventure for the planners, silliness for the trolls, and enough surprises to keep you hooked. Fair warning: bring your A-game for the sabotage—it’s where the magic happens.
