Jurassic Park Builder is a resource management game by Ludia Inc. and Universal Pictures based on the Jurassic Park franchise. During the game, players build their own park finding and growing up to 30 various dinosaur species from DNA in amber to adult.

Throughout the game players interact with characters from the original franchise, listen to music, and hear roaring dinosaurs. Jurassic Park Builder has received over 1.3 million downloads in the past month, a result of heavy investment in graphics and game play. The game features a central mission with a thrill mode that is unlocked after certain levels are reached. Jurassic Park Builder is built on social interaction as well. Players can visit other parks, send gifts, help friends decode DNA, and identify dinosaur species.

Jurassic Park Builder is a free resource management game available on iTunes for the iPhone, iPod, and iPad. In 2013, Ludia and Universal Pictures plan to release an Android and Facebook version.
