LEGO Hidden Side 70431 The Lighthouse of Darkness Review

Fun and entertaining pack, this arrived in a smart custom Lego box covered in scenes from The Lighthouse of Darkness and a letter on the front with an introduction and details on the app, inside it had four numbered packs and the construction manual.


I haven’t assembled anything with Lego for a very long time and it has certainly changed a lot since I was a child so was looking forward to building this, the construction manual is glossy and highly detailed taking you through construction step by step along with details on the application and a full breakdown of included parts in the back.


Assembly was really just a case of carefully following the manual and each page gives the parts needed for the section you are constructing along with arrows indicating its position on the model, the whole thing is broken down into four packs which certainly helped me not get overwhelmed with parts and searching for the ones I needed.


Everything slotted together perfectly and I didn’t have any issues with the construction, I left the stickers placement until after it was built but really should have attached them during construction as it would have been easier. The Lego app will only run on certain devices and would not install on either my android phone or my iphone 6 but installed on my wife’s newer model iphone.



  • Features a three floors digitally interactive lighthouse with a cliff, rocks, a jetty and a jet ski, combining single or multiplayer gaming
  • The lighthouse model comes to life when viewed through a smart device equipped with the LEGO AR app, kids get to explore and solve mysteries
  • Includes 5 real world minifigures: Jack, Parker, Skeleton, Jennie Napo and Claus Stormward, for players to battle boss ghost Joe Ishmael
  • The augmented reality (AR) play experience is constantly enhanced through new content, ghosts and special events for endless gaming fun
  • The experience has been extended with multiplayer option; compatible with 180+ OS and Android devices - check product description for details


Overall I was very impressed with the whole thing, it was fun to make, the manual was very well thought out and made construction as easy as possible, the end result was solid and sturdy with all the moving parts working smoothly as they should and my daughters have really enjoyed playing with it so it gets top marks from me.

Price: £43.56
