• Lloyd’s Ninja Build: use LEGO bricks to recreate a ninja sculpture
• Cole’s Table Maze: tilt the table to guide a ball through the maze
• Unlock the Chest: find the three pieces to create the key that unlocks the treasure

The top team from Chicago will be sent on an all-inclusive trip to LEGOLAND® California Resort to compete in the Finale, along with winners from other regional competitions, including places like Austin, Charlotte, Boston, and Los Angeles.
