The Game at a Glance

What is Prehistoric Farm?

Prehistoric Farm is a dinosaur ranch simulation and tycoon experience on Roblox developed by Project Mirvy. Players launch boats from a central home island hub to explore prehistoric period islands, unearth ancient fossils with shovels, and trade completed specimen sets for viable eggs at Dr. Ivy's DNA Lab.

After warming eggs inside lab incubators, players retrieve newborns from the hatchery and place them in ranch pens. Keeping each dinosaur's belly over half full allows it to mature through developmental stages into a massive Elder companion that can be ridden across the terrain or used to navigate open waters.
