Dino Link | Trace-and-Link Dinosaur Puzzle

What kind of game is it?

A box is piled high with dinosaur medals. Trace 3 or more medals of the same dinosaur with your finger to link them, and they clear away. New medals fall in from the top. It's a link puzzle.

You have 60 seconds. See how many medals you can clear and how many points you can score before time runs out. Each medal has both a dinosaur picture and a color, so they are easy to tell apart.

How to play

1. Trace medals of the same dinosaur that are next to each other. (Go back to the medal before to undo the last one.)
2. Link 3 or more and lift your finger. The linked medals clear away.
3. The longer the link, the more points you get.
4. Link 7 or more to get an egg medal. Tap the egg medal to clear all the medals around it at once.
5. After 60 seconds, time is up. You can see your score and your longest link.

You can also trace with a mouse. Your best score is saved for next time.
