Background
They're ALIVE in our world!

''Dinosaurs have returned to rule the Earth. They have fled Jurassic World on the unstable island of Isla Nublar… and they're roaming free in your cities and neighborhoods.''

''As a brand-new member of the Dinosaur Protection Group (DPG), your mission is to save dinosaurs from a second extinction. Explore your surrounding area to find your favorite dinosaurs – including new breeds that are more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before. Activate augmented reality (AR) to interact with these unbelievable creatures in the real world.''

''Track these magnificent animals with a drone and collect DNA samples needed to level up and create hybrids in your Lab. Then, assemble the perfect dinosaur strike team and take on dangerous threats in real-time PVP arena battles!''

Gameplay
There are five key aspects to gameplay: exploring, collecting, creating, battling, and earning rewards.

Exploring
Explore the world with location-based technology and discover dinosaurs on a map. Identify behavior patterns to track specific species in their natural habitats.

Collecting
Collect rare and powerful breeds by flying a drone with precise accuracy. Capture DNA samples and maintain a full roster of thriving prehistoric animals. There are five different creature rarities:  Common ,  Rare ,  Epic ,  Legendary , and  Unique .

Creating
Create hybrid creatures by combining the genetic traits of multiple species to develop their strengths and abilities.

Battling
Battle a strike team of dinosaurs to defend against threats to your mission and challenge others in real-time PVP competitive arenas.

Earning rewards
Earn rewards such as in-game currency and battery life for your drone by finding Supply Drops on the map. There is a limit to the number of coins and cash a player can ear through visiting Supply Drop. This limit is unaffected by Incubators and Battle rewards.

Supply Drops
There are three types of Supply Drops. Each has two Prize faces and a VIP face. On each face there is a chance to either earn Darts, Coins, or Cash. A normal player will only receive a maximum of two rewards. The chances of getting Cash are very low.

Event

These Supply Drops are green and can be found parks; dark green areas on the map. These are typically available for 12-hours during a special event. They will feature a special dinosaur and players have a constraint on how many they can catch in a day e.g. 12 for common and 3 for rare.
