Jurassic World producers Pat Crowley and Frank Marshall appear as unlockable characters, as well as the film's director, Colin Trevorrow. The utilization of each character's ability is required to progress through the game. DNA provides the player with hints and with dinosaur trivia, as he did in the Jurassic Park video game for the Super NES. DNA, a cartoon character featured in the 1993 Jurassic Park film, is also an unlockable character.
The game features more than 100 unlockable characters to play as, including more than 20 dinosaur species, such as Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus. The game incorporates a two-player cooperation mode. The levels are accessed through a free-roaming overworld area. The game features 20 levels, with five levels based on each film.
Gameplay consists of the player solving puzzles. Lego Jurassic World's gameplay is similar to previous Lego video games.
