About
Hold your finger down and dig through time.
Beneath the meadow, history lies in layers: the Middle Ages, Antiquity, the Bronze Age, the Neolithic, the Ice Age and, at the very bottom, the age of dinosaurs. Your team digs layer by layer, the crane hauls the finds up, and visitors pay admission at the museum. Spend the coins on upgrades until the next era opens up.
REAL FINDS
Between shards and coins wait 40 famous master finds that really exist: Ötzi, the Nebra sky disc, the Sutton Hoo helmet, Tutankhamun's mask, Lucy, Archaeopteryx and many more. Each comes with the year and place it was found, a few sentences that are true, and a link to Wikipedia.
THE FIND BOOK
120 finds sorted into showcases. Every full showcase earns more admission for good. Duplicates go to the lab.
MORE THAN DIGGING
In the lab you decide whether a find is real or fake, based on famous forgeries from history. Expeditions bring back missing finds. Open tombs in the Bronze Age, thaw the frozen ground in the Ice Age, and rebuild Triceratops, Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus bone by bone. Plus a team of specialists and a story told in chapters.
NEW DIG SITES
Once the first dig's story is told, move on: to Pompeii beneath the ash of Vesuvius, and to Liaoning in China with its feathered dinosaurs. Your fame grows with every move.
DIGS WITHOUT YOU
With dig leaders the excavation keeps going while you are away. The night watch collects for up to 24 hours, and a notification can tell you when it is full.
FAIR
No forced ads. A video only plays when you tap for it yourself, for a find chest or double earnings. No subscription. If you want to support the game, the shop has gems and a Founder Pack. Progress saved in iCloud, achievements in Game Center.
Pixel by pixel, layer by layer.
