Start at the broken-down car.
Use the roadside payphone and enter the museum. Collect code-note halves from the Allosaurus hand and Brontosaurus base; open reception with your completed clue.
The employee route opens.
Check your active objective and your own clue. Published code examples disagree; that does not establish randomization.
Reception is open.
Take the theater token from the box office and insert it into the theater token machine. Enter and let the presentation begin.
The opening presentation starts.
Check the item’s inventory label and the door or machine you are using. This step needs the earlier pickup; reaching the location alone is insufficient.
The presentation has stopped.
Take the staff door beside the stage; climb the crates and cage to the projection room. Fit the table fuse, get three green indicators, and press the projector button. Return and finish the film.
The Time Tunnel exit opens.
If the fusebox shows three green indicators but the Time Tunnel is closed, check the projector’s red button and whether the restarted film has finished. If a timing press fails, wait for the marker’s next pass rather than treating the fuse pickup as a completed repair.
Reach the Watering Hole control room and finish Stella’s call.
Activate all three upper switches: climb the dinosaur and ladder on the right; use the balcony, branches and bars; reach the raised display beside the control room. Return to the main lever and pull it.
The exhibit gate opens.
A raised switch is only one part of the gate circuit. Check the dinosaur-and-ladder route, the balcony-and-branches route and the display beside the control room; after all three, return to the room’s main lever. If you have only reached the room, finish Stella’s call before following those routes.
The exhibit gate is open.
Cross above the electrified floor using ledges, pipes and yellow holds. Take the token from the raised open box and exchange it at the purple Dilo Dash counter.
You have a light for the dark attraction.
Identify the next marked ledge or bar before jumping. Movement prompts vary by input device; this guide has not tested every platform.
The meteor console is missing its button.
Ride the moving dinosaur display to the opposite platform. Take the button beside the open case on the crates; return by the lower route. Fit and press it, then pass the opening into the service route, laboratory and shops.
The gift-shop route is accessible.
Plan the route before activating the control. If the timed opening or goo retracts, return to its button and trigger it again.
You have reached the gift shops.
Enter the far office, use its video equipment and finish Stella’s call. Check the basement objective and keypad hint before going downstairs.
The basement fuse search is available.
Check your active objective and your own clue. Published code examples disagree; that does not establish randomization.
The basement door is accessible after Stella’s call.
Collect all three basement fuses. Repair the pillar fuseboxes by the office, toy shop and arcade, completing each timing sequence. Move away from the pursuing mascot before returning to a panel.
Three repaired fuseboxes await their upper connections.
Match each basement fuse to the office-side, toy-side and arcade-side pillar boxes, then check which timing repair is still unfinished. If all three boxes are repaired but the lights remain off, the next check is the three upper connections, not another basement fuse search.
All three pillar fuseboxes are repaired.
Use the arcade’s upper vent to reach the rafters. Cross the beams and bars and plug in all three connections above the pillars. Return through the vent to the office and finish Stella’s call.
The floor-level floodlight controls are ready.
Lower fusebox repairs and upper plugs are separate checks: trace all three pillar tops from the arcade vent route. If the three plugs are connected, return through that vent to the office and finish Stella’s call before testing the floor-level floodlight controls.
Fuses and all three upper connections are complete.
Return to the shop floor. Hold each pillar interaction until it completes, moving between controls while keeping clear of the roaming Bronto.
The shop exit becomes available.
A brief tap does not complete the floodlight interaction. Check upper connections, then finish the held action when Bronto is clear.
The floodlights have opened the exit.
Approach the glass doors. When Bronto blocks that route, turn back to the basement you opened earlier; descend the stairs and follow the cave.
The museum gives way to the first digsite.
Identify the next marked ledge or bar before jumping. Movement prompts vary by input device; this guide has not tested every platform.
Collect both torn clue halves: one from the Allosaurus hand and one at the Brontosaurus base. Read the completed clue before using the reception keypad. Published code examples disagree, so use your own in-game clue; that disagreement alone does not prove the code is randomized.
If you have not entered the theater, first use the box-office token at its machine. After the presentation stops, fit the projection-room fuse and get three green indicators. Press the projector button, return to the theater and let the film finish before checking the exit.
Finish Stella’s call in the control room, then activate all three upper switches. Their routes use the right-hand dinosaur and ladder, the balcony with branches and bars, and the raised display beside the control room. Return to the main lever and pull it after all three.
After opening the exhibit gate, cross above the electrified floor using ledges, pipes and yellow holds. Take the token from the raised open box, then exchange it at the purple Dilo Dash counter. Reaching the counter without that token does not finish the pickup.
Ride the moving dinosaur display to the opposite platform. The button is beside the open case on the crates. Return by the lower route, fit and press the button, then use the newly opened route toward the service area, laboratory and shops.
After the office video and Stella’s call, collect the three basement fuses and repair each pillar fusebox. Then use the arcade vent to connect all three plugs above the pillars. Return for the call, then hold each floor-level pillar interaction until complete; a brief tap is insufficient.
Once the floodlights make the shop exit available, approach the glass doors to trigger the obstruction. Turn back to the basement opened earlier, descend the stairs and follow the cave toward the first digsite. The glass doors are not the final escape route in this sequence.
