Traveller's Tales is TT Games before LEGO Games. They made licensed games before being approached by Giant Interactive Entertainment, the replacement for the now defunct LEGO Interactive. Together, they made the first LEGO Star Wars. Following its release, they purchased Giant and both companies merged into TT Games and TT Games Publishing respectively.

TT Fusion was purchased in 2008 and, although originally just meant to port LEGO games to mobile and handheld platforms, started making its own games, with Rock Band in 2009 and City Undercover in 2013. It has since made a lot more.

TT Centroid was an motion capture studio owned by TT for under a year. TT Animation made the LEGO Batman 2 film and this award-winning kid's show. And TT Odyssey is a mobile gaming company that made LEGO Star Wars Battles, not to be confused with Playdemic, which TT briefly owned between 2017 and 2021, which published the game and is now owned by EA.
