Dino Party Jigsaw

The premise of Dino Party Jigsaw is a celebration. The dinosaurs have organised a birthday party for the youngest member of the group, and you are invited along. Twelve different pictures were taken at the party, each one turned into a jigsaw, and the job of the guest is to connect the pieces until every snapshot is whole again.

That framing tells you most of what to expect. The tags point to cute, party and birthday themes, so the scenes are friendly rather than prehistoric and fierce: dinosaurs at a gathering instead of dinosaurs on the hunt. Twelve pictures is a tidy amount, enough for a few sittings without becoming a long commitment.

It is a natural pick for younger players who like dinosaurs, or for anyone who wants an easy-going puzzle with a bit of story attached. The game’s line is that everyone at the party is confident in your abilities, and the reward for finishing a board is simply making the dinosaurs happy.

1. Open one of the 12 party pictures.
2. Look over the scattered pieces of the snapshot.
3. Connect them until the picture is complete.
4. Move on to the next picture from the party.

Start with the dinosaurs themselves. Characters are the most distinctive part of a cartoon scene, and the background fills in around them.
