About the game
Note that all apps required to play this game were discontinued in early 2015. LEGO: Life of George combines LEGO bricks and iPhone technology into a fast-paced building game. In the two-to-four player game, each player takes turns building objects with LEGO bricks based on a pattern shown on a player's iPhone or iPod Touch (4th gen and later) [and an Android 2.1+ app was added in summer 2012] via the LEGO: Life of George and LEGO: Build Your Brain apps. When the player finishes building that object, she snaps a picture with the phone, which then presents a score based on how difficult the object was, how quickly the player built it, and whether it was built correctly. After five rounds, the player with the highest score wins. In LEGO: Build Your Brain, players play "game show" style, solving in different categories a variety of pattern building and logic puzzles for points. In the single-player mode, you're presented with a series of images, and you complete them as quickly as possible in order to record a high score. The "My Life" section of the app allows you to upload pictures of LEGO models that you created for posterity or for future challenges against other players. The separate Build Your Brain app can also be played individually, solving pattern-building logic puzzles (and taking a picture of one's solution when complete) like those that are presented in the multi-player game.
