Dino Guide: Getting started
About
OverviewDino! is a Roblox game where you pick a dinosaur, hatch it from an egg, and grow it as large as possible by eating food scattered across the map. Up to ten players share the same room, so competition for food is real. This guide covers how to start, how to grow fast, and how to climb the leaderboard.

Getting started
Step
When you first load in, you are shown a screen where you choose which dinosaur you want to play. Once you confirm your pick, your egg hatches and your dinosaur enters the world. From that moment, your only job is to find food and eat it.
- Choose a dinosaur pick whichever one you like from the selection screen.
- Watch the egg hatch your chosen dinosaur is born and the game begins.
- Start moving immediately food is spread across the map, so head out and start eating.
Growing your dinosaur
Tips
Your dinosaur's size is determined entirely by how much food it has eaten. Because up to nine other players are searching the same map, food gets picked up quickly.
- Roam the whole map rather than staying in one spot — food is not concentrated in a single area.
- Eat a piece of food the moment you reach it — another player can grab it if you pause.
- Glance at the leaderboard regularly to see how your size compares to everyone else in the room.
Collecting dinosaur skins
Check
The game has multiple unique dinosaur skins, and hatching eggs is how you unlock them. Some skins are rarer than others, so discovering every one is a long-term goal.
- Hatch as many eggs as you can each hatch is a chance at a skin you do not have yet.
- Keep an eye out for rare dinosaurs they are harder to come across and worth collecting.
