LEGO Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Video Game is a Traveler's Tales video game based off of Rick Riordan's bestselling, groundbreaking young adult novels. It is to be available for the XBOX 360, PlayStation3, DSi, 3DS, PlayStation2, Wii, Nintendo DS Lite, and PC. Note: All events are based on the movies.
The game's hub is Camp Half-Blood, a bustling camp and home to young demigods, centaur counselors, satyrs, naiads, and tree spirits. Here, the landscape is large and complex, much like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7. You can access the levels across the game (see section "Access to Levels"). Characters except for Greek Gods and Goddesses can be bought in the Battle Arena. In the attic, you can enter cheat codes at the Oracle of Delphi. If you travel out to the cabin section, you can buy hints at the Athena cabin, weapons at the Ares cabin, extras at the Hermes cabin, and view past clips at the Poseidon cabin. Also, you can only buy the Gods and Goddesses at their respective cabins (and Hades and Persephone at the Underworld). Each god or goddess costs 200,000 LEGO studs or 15 Celestial Bronze Bricks.
The forest is the entrance to the mini game center. This includes archery, chariot racing, and most of all, capture the flag. Levels can be accessed through the Big House and are listed below:

Trivia
The Lightning Thief
- Instead of calling off the Hellhounds, Persephone throws a bone and the Hellhounds run away.
- During the visit to Olympus, the demigods see someone (most likely a wizard) riding a broomstick around, similar to LEGO Harry Potter.
- During the start of a capture the flag game, both teams are talking, texting, reading, or sleeping until Chiron blows a horn. Also, when Percy is given his helmet it is put on backwards.
Sea of Monsters
- In Polyphemus' lair, when Luke shoots Tyson he looks down and breaks into lego pieces and falls in the river, and is seen drifting away (and slowly re assembling). Later when he rescues Percy, his legs are on backwards and Percy happily fixes them.
