The basics will sound familiar to Pokémon Gofans: it's a location-based game that allows players to discover dinosaurs by exploring the world around them. Dinosaurs in your surrounding area will appear on an in-game map, and certain types of dinosaurs will be unique to specific locations.

But one important difference between Jurassic World Aliveand Pokémon Gois that players don't have to get out and walk around to nab the dinosaurs.

Instead, they can deploy an in-game drone to collect a nearby dinosaur's "DNA." Once you have the DNA, you can unlock the creature or use the DNA to create your own "hybrid" creature (yes, you can basically become a dinosaur-creating mad scientist).

"There's definitely that element of discovery, but we wanted to make it a little more flexible and also give you something to do at home," says Chris Heatherly, Universal's executive vice president of games.

As your collection grows, you can take your dinosaurs into battle to square off against other players, or show off your creations with life-sized dinosaur selfies.

A collaboration between Universal and game developer Ludia, the goal is to regularly refresh Jurassic World Alive with more dinosaurs for players to unlock. At launch, the game will have a little more than 100 dinosaurs, but the companies say it will be updated regularly with more creatures from the movie, as well as special "hybrid" and "super hybrid" animals that have more advanced capabilities.

"There's a major focus in this game on the hybrids and super hybrids to create this almost infinite matrix of possibilities," says Ludia CEO Alex Thabet.

And because the game uses augmented reality, the dinosaurs can scale to massive proportions, ranging from a couple feet tall to the size of two-story buildings.

"We really see this game as the future of the Jurassic Worldfranchise on mobile," says Heatherly. "This is really the first time that we have allowed you to take the dinosaurs off the island and out of our storytelling world, and into your real world."
