Make sure you build an awesome place to hang out, because your design could end up in the actual LEGO Tower game launching this summer.

So, open your digital LEGO building tool and unleash your creativity to get your very own floor included in the LEGO Tower game!

On top of that, each winner will get the LEGO Creator Expert 10264 Corner Garage, the LEGO Ideas 21313 Ship in a Bottle, a $200 shopping spree on shop.LEGO.com and a very special unlock feature in the new LEGO Tower game.
