About Dino Time Raiders
Dino Time Raiders lets you build a dinosaur theme park after returning to the present with captured prehistoric creatures. You design enclosures, roads, and facilities, then watch guests arrive to view the living fossils. Your park’s growth depends on the mix of species, layout choices, and the attractions you provide.
Capturing larger, more dangerous dinosaurs raises prestige, while upgrades boost revenue and expand what your scientists can achieve. Mishaps such as carnivores breaking loose become headline‑making spectacles, but careful planning can keep visitors safe and entertained.
01 / THE GUIDE
Park Layout
Designing the park involves placing roads, enclosures, and facilities in a way that supports visitor flow and dinosaur needs. The description notes that a mix of species, facilities, and layout determines how the park grows, so positioning influences both prestige and revenue.
Balancing space for large carnivores with safe viewing areas is crucial because guests may scatter when dangerous dinosaurs break loose. Thoughtful road placement can guide guests away from high‑risk zones while still offering clear sightlines.
- Consider grouping similar‑era dinosaurs to simplify enclosure requirements.
- Leave buffer zones between carnivore pens and main walkways.
02 / THE GUIDE
Dinosaur Prestige
Each captured dinosaur adds to your park’s prestige, especially larger and more dangerous species. The text states that increasing prestige comes from capturing bigger, riskier dinosaurs, which in turn attracts more guests.
Prestige influences growth because a higher‑profile park draws additional visitors, boosting revenue that can fund further upgrades and expeditions.
- Target a mix of herbivores and carnivores to balance risk and appeal.
- Prioritize expeditions that promise larger specimens.

Upgrades and Revenue
Upgrades improve revenue and expand what your team can achieve. The description mentions that turning revenue into progress lets you improve scientists, technology, and park systems, unlocking new possibilities.
Investing in upgrades such as extended expedition time or larger team size directly affects how many dinosaurs you can capture per trip, feeding back into prestige and income.
- Upgrade scientist stamina first to lengthen past missions.
- Enhance park systems after securing a steady visitor base.

Guest Management
Keeping visitors entertained, safe, and alive is a core challenge. Guests may scatter when carnivores break loose, so monitoring enclosure security and providing distractions are essential.
Entertainment facilities and safety measures help maintain a steady flow of guests, which in turn supports revenue growth and park reputation.
- Place entertainment venues near high‑traffic paths.
- Regularly check enclosure integrity to prevent escapes.

The aesthetic also reinforces the indie, casual feel of the game, aligning with its action‑strategy blend.
- Enjoy the visual humor as feedback for layout adjustments.
