Now updated with bug fixes and improvements!
LEGO DUPLO WORLD is a masterpiece of digital play for the 2-to-5 age group. It doesn't fall into the common trap of being too 'gamey' with win/loss conditions; instead, it acts as a digital toybox that encourages open-ended exploration. Whether your child is putting out fires, exploring the ocean in a submarine, or running a food stand, the app provides a safe space for imaginative role-playing that mirrors how kids play with physical bricks.
Technically, the app is brilliant. The multi-touch support allows you to play alongside your child, turning it into a collaborative bonding experience rather than a solitary screen time event. The educational alignment with the 'Headstart' framework is evident, as it subtly teaches counting, colors, and social cues through play. It’s expensive if you want all the 'worlds,' but the quality and lack of intrusive ads make it worth the investment for any parent of a preschooler.
Multi-touch for co-play
Aligned with child development milestones
Safe, ad-free environment
Regularly released new 'world' packs
In the Under the Sea world, tap on the submarine to dive. Kids can move the characters around to discover hidden treasures and learn about sea life in a safe environment.
The app supports multi-touch, so parents can play alongside their kids, helping them build virtual structures or solve simple counting puzzles.
The app offers several free play activities, but a subscription unlocks the full library of worlds.
It used to be fun because I had played it on my dad’s phone and he bought me everything when I was little. So I downloaded it on my iPad for my baby brother thinking that he would enjoy it as much as I had. But sadly all he could do was the number train and trash sorting. I tried to click restore purchases but it didn’t work. I checked the other reviews and other people have had this problem. I guess the app doesn’t have family sharing. It was an overall good game (when I had all of the features). But I am honestly disappointed with LEGO. Why make a free game with boring free features. I would rather have my brother watching ads every five minutes then be playing this game using the free features. I’m deleting this
Update: I reported to Apple and requested a refund which I was granted. I made the purchase on the account I needed it on. I still feel like Lego should still offer this app as a family share option to be on any device in the family, especially for the price of it. The developer also reached out asking how they could help. The app itself is great and my son loves it (and matches some of the play sets he has). I’m giving the app a low star rating because NO WHERE in the purchasing instructions does it mention not available for Family Sharing on Apple devices! I’ve spent so much time this morning trying to figure out why it wasn’t working. I finally found in the Settings FAQ section that you would have to sign out and into account app purchased under…sorry but it’s not that simple switching accounts on Apple product. I’ve purchased from other developers and this is no issue for them but Lego can’t do it???? I’ll be reporting the purchase to Apple as soon as the option is available to do so and then make the purchase on my child’s device. Still ridiculous that Lego of all company’s isn’t able to apply the Family Share for Apple users…infuriating 😡😤
I bought this game. Now that there are new levels I’m told I didn’t buy the full game. My kids see the new levels at $5 a pop and are disappointed they can’t access them. So I contact the company and ask about it. They can see when I bought the game, yet ask me to provide a receipt to prove I bought the game. They try to tell me I chose a smaller version of the game which is not true. I bought the whole game. If you look at the reviews you’ll see this is common practice for this game. Many many people have this exact same complaint and the developers response is it’s always the customers fault, we didn’t buy what we thought we did. Odd so many people are making the same “mistake” yet they haven’t fixed the situation. If I hadn’t already spent real money on this I’d delete it entirely. I spent $23 on this game ans apparently it wasn’t for the “full version” like they advertised. I had given this app a few stars because my kids like it, after emailing with the developers I’ve amended it to 1 Star because I can’t give zero. Not a good company to deal with.
We have had Lego: Duplo World for a few years now. My kids love it. I got tired of my kids using my account for their iPads, so we setup kid accounts. As the app says, it supports Family Share. It even has a slide to turn on under my subscription settings. Does it work?…that’s a big fat NO. I select it, return to the previous setting and it switches back to off. I have Family share turned on. Why won’t it work?!!!! I have the unlock everything subscription. I can only get the free version to work on my kids profiles. They are going to be upset that their favorite game is now limited. I have every device to support Family share. Please fix the app to actually support family share as you say it should. Then I will give 5 stars. Sincerely, a mom that is up way too late trying to fix your mess.
I have purchased each “Set” as they have come out over the years on one device. I just set up family sharing as I have a new device for my youngest and want to move all his stuff over. This is the only game wanting me to repurchase each set OR all of a sudden pay 50 bucks per year. Even though it clearly states up to 6 people can use this app with family sharing. As much as my son loves and plays this game I refuse to purchase everything all over again. Update: I have sent all the receipts I can find as well as a video of the game fully unlocked on one of my devices. I am awaiting a response. Update: This issue is still being worked on, my ticket is not yet closed so I am not sure why the company has posted an update alluding to such. My last correspondence with CS was at 12:17pm today and I have yet to hear back. still cannot add the purchased items to other devices linked via family plan as of 6:30pm 12/10.
well, when I was younger, this game was very fun and I love this game so much but then aiya grew older and stopped playing it and deleted it and today I just saw it on the App Store and I realized that this was a game that I used to love to play so I download it expecting a doll house where I could see the inside of it and I could play with the characters you know the little Lego characters and then I saw a train and you can only go forward and backwards, and that was literally the only thing I could do without spending money and I was shocked and even the things that do not cost money. None of the options seems to be the little playhouse that I used to play on so not what I expected but other than that it’s a really good game for Littles and you should buy it!
I am a huge lego fan, and have a huge basket of duplos for my two year old as well. I tried the app with him, and he enjoyed the train enough that I closed my eyes and spent $20 for everything. It’s the most I’ve ever spent on an app, and thought it was very expensive then. I now know that updates are not included. I’ve read the MANY “you bought a 4/5 discounted bundle” responses from the developers, and yet they don’t make it clear up front that all future updates will cost additional money. I wish I could reverse the update, because now I either have to delete the app entirely, spend the additional money, or really upset my toddler that he can’t open the tractor game. Not happy at all.
This app could use various improvements. First being that the “play pack” versions of the app should last longer. I just paid $6 for a version of Lego DUPLO to be unlocked. The VERY NEXT DAY that promo was gone and replaced with a new play pack. This is so frustrating. I’ve unlocked/payed for each section within the app for it to be locked right back the very next day. So frustrating to be throwing money away at a game that my son loves and learns from. Please change this so that we can actually enjoy the features of the app completely. Secondly the arrows at the bottom left and right corner are exactly where my son holds the iPad/phone. I think the arrows have a much better spot at the top of the page. Lastly the parent side of things should be telling us how long the play pack will stay available.
