Lego Builder's Journey was the first game developed by Light Brick Studio, the Lego Group's internal video game development studio, which was newly established specifically for the game's development. Lego Builder’s Journey was developed as part of The Lego Group’s restructuring of its mobile division, focused on creating simple, unlicensed mobile experiences that could function as standalone titles rather than acting as advertisements for specific set themes. The game was originally pitched to the company under the working title Path of Creation by creative director Karsten Lund and was one of three concepts presented at the time. Despite being greenlit, Lund didn’t have any ideas for the gameplay or story, other than the general concept of a puzzle-oriented game that emphasized Lego play, didn’t use minifigures, and had no dialogue. The game was intended as a narrative about the value of creativity and play, aimed at a more mature audience and inspired by the Lego community of adult fans. Starting in August, the team spent 2018 experimenting with various prototypes with little success. Despite eventually settling on a gameplay idea, described as Tomb Raider-esque, the team completely restarted development in early 2019 when the studio started to feel like the game was too grand in scope and didn't represent Lego enough. Additionally, playtesters had suggested the game was confusing and hard to understand. The final story for the game was finalized in March. Lego Builder’s Journey had a set release date in December 2019, which gave the developers limited time to finish the game and led them to scale back the scope, making it simpler and shorter than originally planned. As a result of this, the story ended up fairly vague, which the developers later said worked better, since it let players interpret their own meaning. The game was originally titled Lego Arthouse; however, the team later changed it, feeling that the Builder’s Journey subtitle better fit the concept and story. A creative mode update was released on April 14, 2022, allowing players to create mini dioramas with provided pieces. Mixed reality features for visionOS became available through Apple Arcade with the release of the Apple Vision Pro headset on February 2, 2024. A free expansion was released on June 12, 2025, titled Robot's Adventure.
