DragonVale Wiki



DragonVale is a simulation video game created by Backflip Studios for the iOS platform. It can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and played on the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad. It was released in September 2011 and uses the freemium business model. Although the game is free to play, players can use their iTunes account to make in-game purchases of game currency to help speed up the evolution of their dragon park.

DragonVale uses Apple, Inc.’s Game Center online multiplayer social gaming network to allow players to add friends, compete for high scores, exchange gem gifts in-game and visit other dragon parks. Players may also choose to connect with Facebook so that friends on Facebook with the DragonVale application will be identified as DragonVale friends.

Objectives
Players create a dragon theme park similar to a zoo with the objective of attracting virtual park visitors and increasing their level in the game. This is accomplished by breeding, raising and caring for magical dragons and decorating your park by adding walkways, trees, decorations, buildings and dragon habitats. The number of visitors that visit the park and spend their cash is dependent on the type and level of dragons in your park and how well designed it is. The ultimate game challenge is to breed a rare Rainbow Dragon.

Rare & Holiday Dragons
Rare Dragons are those that don't fall into the category of Hybrid or Pure-Bred Dragons. They are usually bred using secret combinations of dragons and have a low chance of success (as with most "rare" things). They are special dragons that once obtained, can only breed with their own type. All of their habitats are 2x2 (very small) with the dragon itself being rather large and prominent which leads to the conclusion that Rare Dragons are just as much of a trophy to show off as it is a personal accomplishment to breed one.

Holiday Dragons are more like normal dragons and are rare because they are only available to be bred from a combination of dragons during a small window of days/weeks of the associated holiday season.
