Dig out the past
Use your georadar to search for clues and discover the remains of many extinct species, adding up to the insight about the Earth’s distant past. Dig out the wisdom of the planet but be careful! Precious fossil is very delicate and you can break a valuable finding quite easily.
You need to carefully clean the bones, making sure that nothing will get damaged before you can finally assemble a complete prehistoric skeleton. Manage your know-how, using the portable in-game tablet and become the world-renown paleontologist.
Build your own Dino Museum
Push through various unwelcoming environments and use your skills in search of mysteries of the land. But that’s only the beginning of your quest. After finding an interesting spot and digging out precious fossils, it’s time to customize your museum. Arrange the interior, grow plants and decorate the building with various displays.
And what’s most important – design your diorama showing prehistoric scenes. Choose all elements of the set, from small plant to rocks and even ground type. Arrange dinosaurs to create thrilling and dynamic scenes that will make them nearly come back to life in the imagination of your visitors.
