"Dino Island is a unique and thrilling theme park that takes visitors on a journey to the time of the dinosaurs. Unlike traditional parks, the dinosaurs at Dino Island have been brought to life through advanced genetic manipulation, making them as real as they were millions of years ago. With over 30 species of dinosaurs, visitors can witness these magnificent creatures roam, hunt, and interact with one another in their natural habitats. The park's attractions include the Dino Safari, where guests can explore the park on a guided tour and observe the dinosaurs in their habitats, and the T-Rex Pursuit, an adrenaline-fueled ride where visitors will come face-to-face with a massive T-Rex.

In addition to the thrilling experiences, Dino Island is also dedicated to advancing the science of genetic engineering and dinosaur research. The park's research center, staffed by top geneticists and paleontologists, is at the forefront of this field and is constantly working to improve and enhance the dinosaurs in the park. Visitors can learn about the science behind Dino Island, including the methods used to bring the dinosaurs to life, and even participate in interactive exhibits and educational programs to deepen their understanding of these amazing creatures. Dino Island is a one-of-a-kind destination that offers a unique combination of adventure, excitement, and education."

Dino Island is a hectic megagame for about 40 players designed by Niklas Lindblad, Wille Virtanen and Johan Olofsson. As a player, you can pick roles between being in charge and running a profitable park, working in one of the labs and balancing on the edge between entertainment and horror, creating thrilling attractions and hospitality opportunities, taking care of dinosaurs, or being part of the security team whose job is to literally "take care of dinosaurs".

What Kind of Megagame is it?

Dino Island is a megagame with easy to pick up board- and card game mechanics and prominent elements of negotiation and roleplaying as you try to run a Dinosaur research lab turned theme park. 

You don't need any previous megagame experience to play this game. There are umpires called Control who will help you on the day so you can focus on having fun with the other players.

In terms of roleplay vs mechanics this strikes a balance between the two with a heavy focus on collaboration within your team and competition for budget and attention between teams. This means that the problems you face are handled by discussion and then locking them down with the game mechanics. No roles are more or less mechanical, and your personal playstyle will influence how you play the game on the day!
