Jurassic Mission: a science escape game for little dinosaur fans
An egg that cracks before midnight
A mystery parcel arrives at Professor Beaker’s lab, and inside, nestled in straw, is a huge dinosaur egg that is already starting to crack! For the baby to hatch happy and healthy, the children must build it the perfect nest. An egg that loses its shell in vinegar, ice cubes that melt at different speeds, teeth to colour, lentils that sprout, footprints to compare and a ruler that plays a lullaby: every mission gives a code. Meanwhile Whiskers, the lab cat, is very jealous. At the end, a rumbling volcano and a baby Maiasaura called Pistachio pops out of the egg.

Frequently asked questions
Do children need to read well?
The texts are short, with picture clues and big numbers. A 6 year old plays with help from an older child or a grown-up; most 7 and 8 year olds manage almost on their own.
What do I need?
Eggs, white vinegar, lentils, cotton wool, ice cubes, a woolly sock, a ruler, a torch, washing-up liquid, a sachet of dried yeast and 3% hydrogen peroxide (supermarket or chemist). Nothing to order online.
Is the volcano safe?
Yes, with the precautions in the guide: only the grown-up handles the 3% hydrogen peroxide, and the children watch the foam shoot up. No flames, nothing sharp, nothing to swallow.
What is the difference with the ages 9 to 12 version?
Same story, same experiments, same materials. The puzzles for older children are trickier: true or false statements, code grids and measuring to scale. The two-version bundle is ideal for brothers and sisters.
Can we play it at a birthday party?
Yes, with up to 8 children: the guide explains how to play in pairs, one envelope each, before everyone gets together for the volcano.
What are the video messages?
Three short videos in which the characters talk to the players, to watch on a phone or tablet by scanning the QR codes printed on three of the letters. They are optional: everything is also written on paper.
How do I receive the game?
Straight after payment: the download link is in your confirmation email and in your customer account. You can download the PDF up to 5 times within 30 days.
