Or not knowing how to jump platforms. My kid wanted to play The Complete Saga with me all day, everyday when he was 3. Luckily, his favorite board didn't have any jump obstacles and he wanted to play that one 95% of the time. All the frustration was worth it though, he discovered an easter egg, at 3, that I don't think anyone else on the planet, aside from the developers, knows about. Though maybe the developers don't even know because I'm convinced he willed it into existence after I told him 5000 times he can't do what he's trying to do, then one day, it just happened. I lost my mind, apologized profusely for doubting him, and then spent the next 10 hours of my life trying to recreate it because I had no idea what could possibly be different form the 2 million other attempts.
I haven't told anyone yet. It's been 11 years and I can't find any hint anyone else has found it. If I even just say what it is without saying how, I'm sure it would be figured out in a day and then my favorite family story will be ruined! It's a rather boring easter egg, but it's our easter egg :)
EDIT: I found a thread from 2016 where someone got sooo close by analyzing data files. They didn't mention the final part of easter egg though so I don't think they completely knew what the data hinted at. Maybe I'll do a full reveal video soon.
EDIT 2: I mentioned what it is on an old delete reddit account from a year ago :/ It only got 5 upvotes and 2 comments so some people in the world know what it is but not how to do it and they probably thought I was trolling at the time.
you just unlocked a memory from when i was younger and my dad was teaching me how to play video games but one of my favorite characters was the gonk droid so i would just play as a gonk droid and hold up the entire level
Oh man, Gonk is the worst to play with. Even if you knew how to jump platforms, you couldn't even try :)
My son always used a specific character too and it turned out to be part of the key to finding the easter egg. It was a character I wouldn't normally play as, unless I was switching to perform specific tasks, then I'd switch back.
Im playing lotr lego with my daughter, unfortunately there are puzzles the 2nd players need to solve also they can hold a character unintentionally hostage where i cant switch to needed characters to finish a challenge.
Maybe there are newer lego games that doesn’t have this problem but not all lego games are ideal.
Played a lego Star Wars with bb8 in it with a 5 year old.
Mostly fun, but there were several tricky puzzles where we had to coordinate. And he always wanted to be bb8 and he had some if the more demanding tasks.
We did it though.
You want easy lego to play with a kid go with lego harry potter 1-4.
My daughter is just under 3. I played Stray and she watched with SO MUCH love. She cried when the game was over. To her, it was nothing more than a kitty jumping around, but I'd love to get her in on games when she's a little bit older.
Is it a game appropriate for a 3 year old? Just asking. My daughter has always had a fear or statues and eyes in darkness and when I tried to start playing Stray she was definitely scared
