About the game

What you do in a play session

Dinosaur Tea Party drops you and your friends into an elegant high‑tea at Dinoton Abbey, with one quirky twist: nobody remembers the names of the Jurassic guests. Each player secretly receives a card representing a dinosaur guest, complete with a name and a few visual clues. The goal is to correctly identify the names of three of your own guests before anyone else does. To achieve this, rounds consist of asking the group questions – for instance, "Does your dinosaur have feathers?" – or taking a direct guess. When someone correctly names the dinosaur you’re trying to uncover, you draw a new card, keeping the race to three correct guesses alive. The game blends deduction, memory, and pattern recognition, as answers help eliminate possibilities and remind you which names have already been revealed. Cards are bright and humorous, depicting dinos in tea‑time hats, brooches, and even a pet chicken, reinforcing the light‑hearted tone. Playtime is short, about 15‑30 minutes, and it supports 3‑5 players, making it perfect for casual get‑togethers or party settings. With simple rules and a low learning curve, the title appeals to families and friend groups who enjoy light games that still demand a bit of brainpower. Even though the theme is prehistoric, the question‑and‑answer mechanic makes it approachable for anyone who’s never tried a deduction game before. If you love party games that spark laughter while testing a dash of memory, Dinosaur Tea Party could be the ideal pick for your next gathering.
