Dinosaur Volcano Battle Giveaway Brings The Op Games to Ogden Dinosaur Park

The Op Games is bringing Dinosaur Volcano Battle to a setting built for its subject: Ogden Dinosaur Park in Utah. From Oct. 15 through Nov. 30, 2026, children ages five to ten can enter giveaways during the park’s Dinos in the Dark Halloween event, while families holding fall birthday parties there will receive a copy of the game. The partnership puts a new tabletop release in front of young dinosaur fans while they’re already exploring a dinosaur themed attraction.

The park connection is central to the promotion. Ogden Dinosaur Park’s outdoor trails feature more than 100 full scale dinosaur sculptures, and its museum and education complex includes interactive dig pits, paleontology exhibits, authentic fossils and full sized prehistoric skeletons. The Op Games CEO Dane Chapin described it as a natural place to introduce the title, pointing to the park’s sculptures, paleontologists and visitors who love dinosaurs. In his view, the game can become part of a family outing already centered on prehistoric discovery.

From park visit to tabletop play

Dinosaur Volcano Battle turns a dinosaur showdown into a fast action game for two to four players, ages five and up. Players line up dinosaur standees, load lava fireballs and try to knock down every opponent’s standee. The last dinosaur standing wins. The publisher describes the rounds as quick and the rules as easy to learn; the dinosaurs’ Hawaiian shirts give the face off a comic touch.

That format suits the giveaway’s audience: children can try the game at home with family and friends after encountering dinosaur displays at the park. Ogden Dinosaur Park’s Director of Education, Development, and Marketing, Noah Erb, said the game gives families a way to carry some of the attraction’s hands on excitement into their homes. The park plans to include it in its Halloween event and fall birthday parties.

The giveaway runs alongside Dinos in the Dark, the park’s annual Halloween event, which places visitors among its dinosaur sculptures after dark. Children ages five to ten will have a chance to win a copy during the event. Families booking birthday parties at the park during the fall promotion will receive one complimentary game.

Availability and product details

The game has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $19.97. It is available at Walmart and specialty game retailers, with availability planned soon at the Ogden Dinosaur Park gift shop. The park shop would give visitors another route to find the game after seeing it featured in the attraction’s event and party programming.

For collectors of modern toys and games, the release details worth tracking are the title, age range, player count, listed price and retail channels. The source does not specify a print run, special edition or variant for the giveaway copies, so there’s no basis to distinguish them from standard retail copies. The announced promotion is tied to the park and its seasonal events; the article gives no further details about how many copies will be distributed or the mechanics for entering the event giveaways.

A setting that matches the game

Ogden Dinosaur Park is a nonprofit attraction along the Ogden River in Ogden, Utah. Its 8.5 acres of trails display more than 100 full sized dinosaur sculptures against the Ogden Canyon backdrop. The indoor Stewart Museum houses fossils and prehistoric skeletons, while the wider complex offers educational programs and seasonal events. That mix of outdoor displays and hands on exhibits gives the game a direct thematic link to the place where families encounter it.

The Op Games has published board games and puzzles for more than 30 years. Its catalog includes Flip 7, Telestrations, Blank Slate, Hues and Cues and Tapple. The company’s latest tie in pairs a dinosaur focused game with an attraction whose regular visitors already have reason to be curious about prehistoric creatures.

The promotion’s stated end date is Nov. 30, 2026; the park gift shop’s planned availability is the next detail to watch for families seeking a copy.
