Theme: Built to Scale

Welcome to Jurassic Plastic Inc., where you step into the shoes of a quality inspector at a factory with a very unusual past. This factory was once a top-secret government lab, supposedly working on cloning dinosaurs for a national park. After funding ran out and some totally not-dino-cloning-related incidents occurred, the lab was shut down and eventually abandoned… Until a group of toy enthusiasts discovered it.

They transformed the lab into a toy factory, repurposing the old, mysterious machines to create dinosaur toys. But there’s a catch: these machines have a mind of their own, often producing dinos with extra heads, oddly proportioned limbs, or completely wrong sizes.

As the factory’s newest quality inspector, it’s your first day on the job. Your mission is to ensure that every dinosaur toy meets its specific height, width, and other dimensions. The toys should be perfect from tail to scale! 

You can click on a handy reference sheet to see the exact measurements for each dino. If a toy meets the standards, you approve it and send it to the approved section. If not, toss it into the rejected pile. No one wants to give a child a Brontosaurus that tips over — or worse, disappoint a toy collector with a Velociraptor that can’t stand on its own.
