Our Story
Dino Chase is more than just a game; it’s a labour of love born from the creativity and imagination of a young boy named Aidan. Back in 2019, when Aidan was just 7 years old, he sketched a rough idea for a game where humans and dinosaurs chased each other across an island. Inspired by his passion for dinosaurs, we began developing this concept into a fully-fledged board game.
With no prior experience in creating board games, our family embarked on a journey of learning and discovery. We sketched, prototyped, and play-tested our ideas over countless family game nights. Along the way, we faced numerous challenges, from designing the board and the pieces to finding a manufacturer. However, Aidan’s boundless enthusiasm helped drive us on.
In 2020, we partnered with a talented graphic designer, Mat Wells, who brought our vision to life with stunning artwork and stylish design. After three more years of hard work, refining rules and perfecting the game’s components and graphics, we finally produced our first commercial sample set in December 2023. Another year on, and the final tweaks are complete.
The result is a beautiful and highly engaging game that we are proud to share with you.
From Aidan
Hello, my name is Aidan. I am 12 years old, and I am crazy about dinosaurs!
My love for them started when I was 2 years old, watching the CBeebies show Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures, and it has grown from there. I know lots of fun facts about dinosaurs and like to teach people what I know.
I came up with the idea for this game when I was 7 years old and have created something really special that we all love playing.
My little brother Dylan and my parents have all helped me a lot.
As a family, we have played Dino Chase loads of times, testing and tweaking continuously. Every time we play it’s so close. Who will win, Dinos or Humans? It’s so exciting!
I hope you enjoy playing it as much as we do.
