Kudos to the new web page. Very clean interface and easy to manuever about.

P.S. Fun puzzle!

Dino'd my way out of the box. Congrats on the cool web site and thanks for the puzzle.

[Dplass]

Tbh I really don't like these meta metas. I'm passing. Thanks for the puzzle though.

[Laura M]

My solve rate hasn't been too good lately, but I got this one! Fun!

[oldjudge]

Solved. LOL, this puzzle goes a long way toward explaining why the dinosaurs went extinct. Nice web site though.

Yay me! I actually did a solo solve!

Tbh I really don't like these meta metas. I'm passing. Thanks for the puzzle though.

after spending lots of time down trail number 1, I abandoned it as it was too dusty and incomplete.

same for trail number 2.

I'm in trail #3 and it's what you describe and so far it is very tantalizing but I've not yet got to a definitive answer on any part of the 5 parts. But it looks very interesting, I think I'll stay here a while.

still no dino for me. my fall from grace had to come eventually, i guess.

Trail #1 proved to be the correct trail. Solidly on Dino Island.

Got it after a nudge from Tamara. Nice one Will!

[BarbaraK]

Got it after the zoom discussion encouraged me to keep looking where I'd been looking. Never heard of the game and was skeptical that it was real, but google said yes and crosshare confirmed it.
