"QRassic" is a mobile fossil-collecting game where you unearth prehistoric bones, ancient relics, and cryptid remains by scanning QR codes in the real world. Each scan reveals a fossil piece from a themed excavation site somewhere in the world's most famous fossil beds. HOW TO PLAY Launch the app, and aim the scanner at any QR code (on a receipt, a business card, a product package, or anywhere else) to scan it. Each scan unearths a random discovery from species including dinosaurs, Ice Age mammals, ancient hominids, and mythological cryptids. Every species is made up of 8 fossil fragments (from skulls and ribs to claws and complete skeletons) each with unique flavor text describing what you've found and where it originated. FEATURES • Over 150 Unique Fossil Pieces: Dig up bones from over a dozen species including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Woolly Mammoth, Smilodon, Neanderthal, and even a Dragon. Each species has 7 individual bone fragments plus a rare complete skeleton reconstruction. • Museum Gallery: View your collection in the Museum tab, see which fossils and relics you've unearthed, and track your progress toward completing every skeleton. • Unique Mint Numbers: Each discovery is serialized based on when you unearthed it. Earlier scans yield lower mint numbers. Be the first to complete a species by scanning new QR codes as updates are released. • Excavation Site Context: Each fossil includes its excavation site origin - Hell Creek, the Siberian Permafrost, La Brea Tar Pits, Olduvai Gorge, and more - with educational blurbs about the anatomy you've discovered. • Tool System: Use specialty excavation tools to influence which category of discovery you unearth. Each species responds to a specific tool type. • Premium Scanner: Remove the cooldown between scans for unlimited digging, enjoy an ad-free experience. • No Account Required: Start playing immediately with automatic account creation. • Cross-Device Sync: QR code import/export lets you move your collection between devices when you upgrade your phone. • Regular Updates Planned: New species, excavation sites, and features added over time. TOOL TYPES • Fossil Brush – Clears dense dirt. Helps find dinosaur fossils. • Glacial Ice Pick – Chips through permafrost. Helps find Ice Age mammals. • Survey Flare – Locates prehistoric dwelling sites. Helps find ancient hominids. • Ground Sieve – Filters fine silt. Helps find coins, jewelry, and relics. • Sonic Precision Chisel – Safely extracts delicate materials. Helps find geodes, amber, and imprints. • Rune of Lore – An archaic wooden relic. Attracts Mythological Creatures. Premium Scanner (one-time purchase) removes scan cooldowns and ads. Tool packs are consumable items that narrow down the draw lottery to find discoveries aided by the tool you equip. Each tool pack contains 10 uses. Some scans will yield a discovery that ignores your equipped tool and you will get to use it on a future scan. Discover fossils spanning the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods, Ice Age megafauna, early hominid remains, and legendary cryptid skeletons, all reconstructed piece by piece through the QR codes you scan in the world around you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QRassic at 5.0 against Chrome Dino Run's 4.2. QRassic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Chrome Dino Run's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chrome Dino Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QRassic sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
QRassic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chrome Dino Run has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Chrome Dino Run ships an update every 3 months, QRassic every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
