Lego Hidden Side is a Lego theme, which was first introduced in 2019.[1][2] It takes place in the fictional city of "Newbury" and links the manufacturer's play sets to an app of the same name (for iOs and Android), which is used to hunt, capture and collect ghosts according to the principle of "augmented reality".[3][4] The series came on the market in 2019 and, after the now discontinued Lego Dimensions and Nexo Knights series, represents another attempt by LEGO to link digital and real game worlds.

Premise

The main focus of the line is Jack Davids and Parker L. Jackson who begin ghost-catching in Newbury. Since, Newbury has been haunted by ghosts who take possession of both citizens, buildings and objects, the aim of the series is to end the rule of the spirits and to free the citizens and objects in Newbury.[5] During the first season Jack, Parker, J.B and Douglas/El Fuego are trying to protect Newbury from ghosts that are working for Lady E., during the “Skelton in the Closet,” The Ghost Hunters try to stop the arrival of Lady E. using the sound essence her minions collected for her and using the Blood Moon to escape the Hidden Side but was ultimately foiled when El Fuego jumped in front of the line and entered the Hidden Side, turning him into a skeleton when he got out, warning them Lady E. Is furious and won’t stop trying to find another was to escape the Hidden Side.

Characters

  • Jack Davids: He is a "cool YouTuber" who recently moved to Newbury and used to be the new kid along with his mother, who is the principal of his high school and is unaware of her sons ghost hunting life. He usually wears a hoodie and a baseball cap; the first issue of the magazine included a variant with a selfie stick. There are now different variations of Jack, some of which differ in the color of the figure, some only in the position of the hat. Voiced by Corey Krueger.
  • El Fuego: He is both the school caretaker, sports teacher and stuntman. It is revealed that he wanted to be stuntman bit got hurt every time he tried to do a stunt, leading him to be a school caretaker at Newbury High until ghosts arrived in town and Jack, Parker and J.B. recruited him as their own stuntman called “El Fuego,” he used to be human in season 1 but got turned into a skeleton when he sacrificed himself in “Skeleton in the Closet.” Voiced by William Kasten.
  • Parker L. Jackson: She is Jack's classmate; she is described as an outsider in school; the colored (violet) hair goes well with it. Her parents are always busy and they too are oblivious about her life as a ghost hunter, she is the great-great-great-great grand daughter of Vaughn G. Jackson, Newbury’s original ghost/monster hunter. Voiced by Amelia Clover.
  • Dr. J.B. Watt: She is Newbury's scientific authority, who discovered how to manipulate and capture the ghosts using the app, and mostly operates from her research laboratory. She used to have a bus named “Sweet Sally” and she never gets it dirty despite having a messy lab and having high tech ghost hunting gear on it but she sacrificed her bus to trap Lady E. in the season 2 finale, “The Lighthouse,” but replaced her with a fire truck called Sweet Sally Jr. Voiced by LC Curci.

Video Game

Lego Brawls (2019)

Main article: Lego Brawls

A crossover mobile fighting game named Lego Brawls was developed by RED Games. Lego Brawls was released exclusively for Apple Arcade on September 19, 2019, for iOS devices. It includes Jack Davids and Parker L. Jackson as playable characters.

App

The Lego Hidden Side app was released on 29 July 2019, and is the mobile app for the Lego Hidden Side theme, available for the operating systems iOS and Android.[73][74][75] The app has since received several updates that have increased the game options. Players can choose between playing the game in ghost mode or in ghost hunter mode. In ghost mode, the player is haunted by other players in a first-person shooter,[76][77] in a location not unlike Newbury. In ghost hunter mode, the player has the task of catching as many ghosts as possible. To do this, the player scans a set that is supplemented by additional elements on the screen via augmented reality. Depending on the set, different ghosts appear - including a set-dependent boss spirit - which can then be caught. Captured ghosts are then collected and can be viewed in the app, including their short biographies.[78][79][80]
