This guide for the 1998 video game LEGO Loco lists all known Easter eggs in the game and explains how to find them.
List of Easter eggs
Placement-based
- Placing four road corner pieces in a circular formation causes them to fuse into an "island" with a palm tree in the centre.[1]
- Placing two red houses with yellow roofs next to each other causes them to fuse into a large red house.[1]
- Placing a radar station to the right side of the Intelligent Games office building causes the office building to turn into a giant robot.
- Placing two radar stations directly next to each other causes them to fuse and turn into a launch pad with a space shuttle.[2] Once at least one launch pad exists in the world, flying saucers will start to appear.
- Placing sunflowers around the entire perimeter of a lake causes the Loch Ness Monster to appear in it.[2][3] It will eventually hide in the lake again, but will reappear after each time the Toybox is closed.
- Placing four fountains into a square formation causes them to fuse into a large fountain; a rainbow appears out of the large fountain when this happens.[1] The large fountain unlocks in the Toybox after this, but placing it from the Toybox will not create a rainbow.
- Placing a dinosaur statue on the left side of a Paint Shop will turn it red.[1]
- Placing a dinosaur statue in between two Paint Shops will turn it blue.[1]

The Viking statue was planned to have an Easter egg where it mooned the player; while the graphics still exist in the game's files, it is currently unknown if it can be triggered. Intelligent Games founder Matthew Stibbe claimed that the mooning Easter egg is still in the game, and that it was kept in after a LEGO Group executive had "roared with laughter" upon seeing it. Development team leader Dee Jarvis instead said that the statue had an Easter egg of it "taking a piss" that was only intended to be seen by the game's developers, and gave a similar story that specified Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen as the executive who saw the animation, albeit ending with the urination animation being removed.[4][5]
Date-based
- On October 31, all trains are ghost trains.[2]
