What Is Challenge Mode?

Challenge mode is where you get to build and run your own Jurassic Park, a theme park filled with dinosaurs. There are several different places where you can have your park and each place has a selection of scenarios you can pick. Each scenario is ranked as a different difficulty level but each level has its own starting rules and game settings. You will have several tasks/goals that you will need to achieve for your park to be deemed successful and each place will have its own set of goals.

You can choose to race against the par time for that scenario (the recommended time it should take for you to complete all tasks). However, you can take your time with it and create your own "finish time" which will then be saved with the scenario. This means that you can race yourself to see if you can beat your own time if you play the level again.

Once you successfully complete a scenario in challenge mode, you will be given a set of rewards unique to that particular scenario. For example: If you complete Canada on Easy, you will be rewarded with a few cosmetic gene alterations for your dinosaurs.
