Dino Buddy | Raise Your Own Dinosaur

What kind of game is it?

Pick one of three eggs, hatch it, and take care of the dinosaur that comes out. Feed it, give it a bath, play ball with it, and put it to bed. The more you care for it, the more it grows.

Its four feelings (Tummy, Clean, Fun, and Energy) go down little by little in real time. But your dino never dies and never gets sick (if you don't care for it, it just grows more slowly). Nothing is scary, so even young kids can play without worry.

How to play

1. Pick one of the three eggs. Tap the egg to keep it warm, and it hatches sooner.
2. Take care of your dino with Food (Plants or Meat), Bath, Play, and Sleep. Some dinos eat plants and some eat meat, so give it the food it likes.
3. Keep caring for it, and it grows from a baby to a kid to a grown-up.
4. When it grows up, the care you gave most decides its personality and look (4 kinds, like a Round Foodie or a Shiny Neat one). Lots of happy care while it is a kid can even make it Sparkly.
5. Grown-ups lay eggs. Raise that egg to keep your dino family going, generation after generation. Every dino you raise stays in your album.

Even when the game is closed, the feelings keep going down little by little in real time (Energy goes down faster at night). Come back now and then to take care of your dino.

Who it's for

• Kids who love dinosaurs and want to raise one of their own
• Kids who like pretend play with feeding and bath time
• Parents and kids who want to check in a little every day, together

Ages: 3 and up (young kids may want a grown-up to help give their dino a name)
