About the Game

Embark on a casual adventure deep underground in search of mysterious artifacts, hidden treasures and most of all, fossils!

Key Features

  • Over 30 hand-crafted levels
  • Play as one of 4 unique fossil hunters
  • Secret items and treasure
  • Local Multiplayer

Modular Fossil System

Find Fossil Blocks by digging through underground levels and connect them together to create a complete skeleton.

Different fossils can be found depending on the kind of dirt and the environment you are digging in. Using rare pieces or making huge skeletons can result in more valuable creations, but you choose how many pieces to assemble and in what order.


The story so far...

You’ve been selected to join an elite team of Fossil Hunters as they set out on a mysterious expedition, but when you arrive at the Digsite it looks abandoned!




You find an old notebook and some torn pages of research notes, could they lead to some answers about what happened here?

Explore spectacular underground environments

Complete specific Fossil Schematics to further the path of science and progress deeper into the caves, where you'll encounter new creatures, dangers, and the secrets of the researchers who came before you...

Dig with your friends

Science is always easier when you’re part of a team… isn’t it? Up to 4 players can explore the mysterious depths together, but cooperation is not guaranteed! Will you help your fellow fossil hunters to create spectacular skeletons? Or will you compete with them and claim glory for yourself?
