The game uses a management interface in which the player develops a dinosaur park and monitors its financial performance. The main objectives are to attract visitors, maintain dinosaurs and facilities, control expenses, and earn enough profit to continue expanding.

Players purchase dinosaurs and park improvements, set prices, review reports, and respond to changing business conditions. Progress comes from reinvesting successful takings in larger or more appealing attractions, while poor budgeting can leave the park unable to operate.

Begin conservatively: buy only the dinosaurs and facilities that the starting budget can support, and keep enough cash available for upkeep and unexpected costs.

Review attendance and financial reports regularly. Adjust ticket prices and investment decisions gradually, prioritize attractions that improve visitor numbers, and avoid expanding faster than operating income allows.
