Unearth the Past. Build Its Future. As a paleontology student, you really never cared much for the academic world. Research papers, lectures, and those endless studies were never what drew you to paleontology in the first place. You wanted something different; you wanted a place where the average person could experience the wonder of prehistoric life for themselves. After a professor notices your lack of interest in traditional research and studying, he offers you an unexpected opportunity: leave the university behind and start searching for fossils in the real world. With his support, you begin a journey across ancient landscapes, uncovering creatures and building a world-renowned museum that brings the distant past back to life. FIND FOSSILS! Sieve, dig, grab, and break your way through layers of earth to recover rare fossils hidden beneath the surface. From the windswept beaches of Maasvlakte to the chalk cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez, every location uncovers a different chapter of Earth’s history. Explore ancient environments from the frozen Ice Age tundra to warm Devonian seas and the mighty Cretaceous period, each filled with unique prehistoric creatures waiting to be discovered. PREPARE YOUR FINDS Finding a fossil is only half the work. Wash sediment through sieves, carefully chip away stubborn rock, and gently brush fragile bones clean in satisfying hands-on preparation gameplay. Every fossil requires a different approach, and patience can turn rubble into a museum centerpiece. BUILD A MUSEUM WORTH VISITING Create the museum that you want to build. Place display cases, glass shelves, stands, decorations, and scenic pieces to design a space visitors will remember. As your collection grows, more guests arrive, your museum rating increases, and word begins to spread. A great collection draws a crowd, and a crowd keeps the lights on. A WORLD THAT BREATHES Watch days roll into nights as dynamic weather and time systems bring the world to life. Experience shifting moon phases, heavy rain, strong winds, and distant thunder as every expedition feels a little different from the last. No two mornings at the dig site are ever the same.
