LEGO Jack Stone Police HQ
Visit LEGO Jack Stone Police HQ 4611 and invent three helpful town calls, choosing a vehicle and keeping a dispatch board of completed jobs.
The play at a glance
Three calls for a busy little headquarters
A tall blue-windowed tower gives Jack Stone’s Police HQ a clear place on the town skyline. Below it, a barred cell and a cluster of vehicles turn the building into a base for arrivals and departures. Today’s story can begin with three friendly requests: directions for a visitor, a misplaced parcel and a parade that needs a new route.
A headquarters with several ways to set out
The tower’s blue windows stand above the smaller rooms, while the white frame of the cell makes a second recognizable part of the scene. The LEGO leaflet shows the building in stacked sections and the cell’s barred panel opening. Five figures, including Jack Stone, give the headquarters a cast that can take turns receiving a call or heading out.
A helicopter, a black-and-white police vehicle and a dark buggy create different silhouettes around the station. In a story, that variety becomes a choice: which vehicle suits the next journey, and who should stay at the desk to hear the reply? Paper streets can connect the headquarters to a town made from drawings.
Try three calls at headquarters
- Make a dispatch board. Divide a sheet into “Waiting,” “On the way” and “Finished.” Draw three call cards small enough to move between the columns.
- Welcome a lost visitor. The first caller wants to find the park. Choose a figure to explain the route, then move the card when the visitor reaches the drawn gate.
- Return a parcel. The next card shows a package delivered to the wrong address. Pick a suitable vehicle and narrate how the team finds its intended recipient.
- Help with a parade. A pretend road is closed. Draw a clear alternative and send someone to explain the change to arriving visitors.
- Report back. Arrange the finished cards in the order the jobs ended. Tell headquarters what worked and what the next shift should know.
Players can trade the desk role after each call. A solo player can leave a written message at headquarters before moving the vehicle, then return to answer it. Drawn vehicles work just as well for the dispatch board.
Give the town a memory
Keep the park, parcel address and parade route on one map. The next story can revisit a familiar place with a different request. That growing town gives the headquarters more to do each time, with the dispatch cards preserving the little adventures already completed.

Lego Jack Stone Police Station
Jack Stone is a tough and brainy crime fighter who just happens to be a small plastic Lego unit. This 137-piece set features everything needed to create a police tower, prison cell, helicopter, bad-guy car, and police cruiser. Besides the Jack figure, there are three other cops and a bad guy. The included siren brick, featuring a non-replaceable 3-volt battery, can be installed in the police car for hot pursuits, atop the tower to signal the helicopter, or anywhere else you choose. When activated, it flashes lights and makes a loud sound. Of course, since these are Legos, they can be used to assemble the vehicles depicted or entirely new creations.
