Jurassic World was one of the multiple franchises to be represented alongside the Doctor Who universe in the mass-crossover toys-to-life video game, . The Jurassic World content was present in the game from the start, along with Doctor Who.
The franchise's inclusion in the game allowed players to control the franchise's two playable characters - Owen Grady and ACU Trooper - and have them play through the A Dalektable Adventure and Dalek Extermination of Earth levels, and explore the Who-themed adventure world, as well as operate K9 and interact with the Doctor's TARDIS.
In turn, this allowed the player to explore the Jurassic World adventure world as the Doctor or the Cyberman, as well as using the related vehicles - the Velociraptor and the Gyrosphere - in any world.
One of the playable characters, ACU Trooper, has a unique voice clip when he is paired with Cyberman during gameplay: "You know, if you need a recharge, then my stun rod can put out 30,000 volts.". Conversely, when paired with the Velociraptor, Cyberman says "I will convert this into a Cybersaurus Rex.".
