The franchise gained a single, explicit connection to the ''Doctor Who'' universe through the mass-crossover video game, ''[[LEGO Dimensions (video game)|LEGO Dimensions]]'', in the form of in-game content that can only be accessed through the use of certain ''Doctor Who'' elements. Located throughout the game are three hidden [[TARDIS]] travel panels which, when built and used in conjunction with [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], will send the player to one of three exclusive secret areas. One such panel, located within ''[[The Simpsons]]''-based level, ''Meltdown in Sector 7-G'', will send the player to an area based on the Flintstones' family home. | The franchise gained a single, explicit connection to the ''Doctor Who'' universe through the mass-crossover video game, ''[[LEGO Dimensions (video game)|LEGO Dimensions]]'', in the form of in-game content that can only be accessed through the use of certain ''Doctor Who'' elements.
