Insert a mobile device into the launch control tower to experience interactive play options with the LEGO City Explorers app. Lower the gates to stop the monorail cars along the route and help the minifigures climb aboard or exit a car. Aim the robot's scanner over the tile in the research area to discover a secret symbol.
