Jurassic World: Alive is a free-to-play, location-based augmented reality game developed by Ludia. The game was officially released worldwide on May 24, 2018, 20:35 GMT and is available on both iOS and Android.
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 six key aspects to gameplay: exploring, leveling up, 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. For example, large herbivores can mostly be found in the day, while smaller carnivores are abundant at night.
Collecting[]
- Main article: List of creatures in Jurassic World: Alive
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 six different creature rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Unique, Apex, and Omega.
There are three types of basic scent capsules available to the player: Common, Rare, and Epic, as well as creature specific scent capsules that attract creatures of a certain type (i.e. Theropod scent capsules).
Using a scent capsule guarantees that one creature of the associated rarity will spawn, though it is not guaranteed to be the first one spawned. The scent stays around the player; spawning creatures of random rarity. Scent capsules work better if the player is moving.
Scent capsules only apply to the player who activated it; other players will not benefit from others' scent capsules.
Capsule Type | Minimum Guaranteed Creatures | Effect Duration | Cost | Availability | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scent Capsule | - | 5 Minutes | 50 Bucks | Always | |
Large Scent Capsule | - | 20 Minutes | Strike Event Only | Always | |
Rare Scent | 1 Rare Creature | 20 Minutes | 200 Bucks | Always | |

Creating[]
Create hybrid creatures by combining the genetic traits of multiple species to develop their strengths and abilities. These can take an unholy amount of time to get the DNA for it.
Battling[]
- Main article: Competitive Arena
- Main article: Strike Battles
Battle a strike team of dinosaurs to defend against threats to your mission and challenge others in real-time PVP competitive arenas.
Strike Events[]
Strike events are limited time battle events that appear on the map. The player selects 4 creatures from their Strike team to use in each level. The event ends if the player completes all stages and claims the final prize, or if they fail a pre-selected number of times.
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 earn 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.
- Regular
These Supply Drops are orange and they can be found all over the map.
- 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 or epic.
- Sponsored
These Supply Drops are yellow and can be found at sponsored businesses.
On June 5, 2018, all Walmart locations will have an exclusive Supply Drops for 57 days.[1]
Incubators[]
All players start with a reusable Incubator that has a six-hour duration. Earned Incubators come in four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. All types of incubators can be earned by battling in the Arena.

- Sponsored
These are Epic incubators but they offer much greater rewards. These can only be received by travelling to the sponsored location and clicking on it. A player can only redeem these one time, independent of the location they received it.
On June 6, 2018, AMC theaters sponsored a 24-day in-game event that allows players to receive on if they visit a their local AMC theater.[1]
Festival Treasure Chests[]
For a limited time, special treasure chests appear on the map containing large quantities of coins.
Coins gathered from the chest count towards the daily coin limit, but coins can be collected from them even if the player has reached their coin cap. It is unknown if this is an intended feature.

Trivia[]
- In March of 2022, Jurassic World: Alive's Imperatosuchus was added as a world event boss, and statue, (as Imperatosuchus 57) in sister game Jurassic World: The Game, also developed by Ludia.
- This marks the first official game crossover in franchise history.
- However, the two games were already known to be related, as lots of game files and hybrids (Diplotator, Spinotasuchus, Stegoceratops, Andrewtherium, etc.) that were used/featured in The Game were notably transferred and/or used in Alive.
- This marks the first official game crossover in franchise history.
