Martin Rumenov Le Dino Labo, the mixed reality puzzle experience from Realcast, has earned an Honorable Mention at the 2025 Meta Horizon Start Competition, highlighting the project’s inventive approach to interactive XR design. To mark the occasion, the team has announced that Le Dino Labo is now available for wishlisting on the Meta Store.
Blending discovery, puzzle-solving, and education, Le Dino Labo invites players to piece together dinosaur skeletons from scattered fossil fragments using realistic hand gestures and spatial interactions. As each fossil is assembled, the creature gradually emerges into a full-scale dinosaur that comes to life right in the player’s own environment through mixed reality.
The game’s launch version will introduce a collection of classic dinosaur species, with future downloadable packs planned to extend the experience across new prehistoric eras and habitats. Realcast envisions Le Dino Labo not as a single release but as an evolving series that grows with its community.
Designed for both casual players and professional use, Le Dino Labo aims to engage museums, cultural institutions, and educational centers through specialized editions and collaborative XR content. This cross‑sector potential underscores Realcast’s mission to create experiences that blend playfulness with cultural depth.
An Honorable Mention in the Meta Horizon Start Competition places Le Dino Labo among a curated group of projects recognized for their innovation and long-term impact on XR gameplay.
“This acknowledgment reaffirms our vision that XR can be both playful and meaningful,” said the Realcast team. “Le Dino Labo is designed as a living project — one that evolves with new dinosaurs, new players, and new experiences across different spaces.”
Players can now wishlist Le Dino Labo ahead of its Q1 2026 release to stay updated on future developments. Those interested in the creative process can also join the official Discord community to follow progress, share feedback, and engage with the developers.
