Parent Pro-Tip
Play the co-op mode together with your child — one of you takes the left side of the screen, the other the right. When you hit a puzzle neither of you can figure out, resist the urge to look it up right away and give it a few minutes of collaborative thinking first.

Representation?How diverse the game's characters are in gender and ethnicity. Higher = more authentic representation. Display only — does not affect time recommendation.
Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.— Fails the test
Female characters like Marion and Willie appear but interactions between them are absent — nearly all dialogue and interaction is directed at or through Indiana Jones.
Parent Pro-Tip
Playing co-op side-by-side transforms this into a genuine shared problem-solving experience. Working through puzzles together — talking out loud, trying different character abilities, and celebrating when you crack it — builds communication, patience, and collaborative thinking skills far more than solo play would.
What your child develops
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is a warm, humorous co-op platformer that delivers genuine cognitive and social-emotional value for children. Puzzle-solving is woven throughout every level — players must observe the environment, experiment with LEGO objects, and switch between characters with unique abilities to progress, fostering problem-solving and critical thinking. The game's split-screen local co-op is a true cooperative design (not cosmetic), requiring partners to coordinate, communicate, and share tasks, which meaningfully supports teamwork and positive social play. The tongue-in-cheek tone encourages creativity and keeps the mood light, while the collectible studs and hidden secrets reward exploration and memory. Adapting beloved film content also gives children a bridge to classic storytelling and cultural literacy.
