I ran this game in my spring art-camp class for 7-8-year-olds last week, and it was such a hit! Outside of education, I simply love TTRPGs, so I was excited to find an all-ages art game to try out in the classroom. Recently, as a teacher, I have been trying to embrace more anarchy in my room, especially since the art classroom is meant to be a transformative space. This is the perfect game for that -- definitely an exercise for me in learning to say yes to the kids' antics.
The instructions are easy to follow in a linear format, and you can read them out in a way that will make sense to the class. We had to cut down on some steps to save time, but I would absolutely run the project again.
It's definitely not a kind of games I play but I was really curious about it. It's really fun and sounds like a total chaos in a good way. I can totally see myself bringing this game up to a group of kids I happen to spend ome time with! Cheers!
It could be played very quickly if drawings are minimal and just silly scribbles. With a basic set up, an hour or two. If everyone in the group feels like taking their time with their creations and using mediums like paint and glue (that need some time to dry) it can take up twice that time.
We have just finished playing our first game and it is fantastic!! Played with my kid who is 7 and we have both had the best time. Enough structure to keep everyone onboard but really inspires fantastic storytelling!
This is genuinely one of the most beautiful, wholesome, fun, chaotic and inclusive work of art I have ever had the privilege of witnessing!
When I saw the concept and the team I knee this was something special, but I never dreamt it would come together and be presented just as spectacularly as it is.
This is perfect, gorgeous chaos and just love of art and games (and dinosaurs, obviously) distilled into a game of pure joy and wonder. I don't know what any of us did to deserve this, but the world is a significantly brighter and better place now that this game exists.

This looks super fun! What's the average playtime for this?
