The game begins with players taking on the role of an aspiring paleontologist, focusing on excavating fossils from various sites marked on a map. The excitement revolves around discovering different kinds of dinosaur fossils and displaying them in a museum exhibition stand. Players can choose their dig sites, encouraging exploration and curiosity as they wonder about the types of fossils they might uncover during each excavation. The goal is to carefully collect and assemble all the parts of each fossil to complete the displays for visitors to enjoy.
As players progress, they can raise the level of their museum, which attracts more visitors over time. Improving the player's character allows for more frequent excavations, expanding opportunities for fossil discovery. Additionally, upgrading the pickaxe enhances excavation capabilities, enabling the player to break through a wider variety of rocks. These improvements add layers of strategy and progression, making the gameplay more engaging as players work toward building a larger and more impressive museum.
Fossils can be stored and organized in a designated storehouse, giving players the flexibility to display their collection as they see fit. However, not all fossils are compatible with every exhibition stand, so players must decide where and how to showcase their collection effectively. This aspect adds a creative element to the game, encouraging players to curate their displays and manage their museum's layout skillfully.
Revenue plays a crucial role in gameplay, as visitors pay to view the fossils, and their spending depends on their satisfaction level, which is influenced by the quality of the fossil collection. The money earned can be reinvested into excavation projects, the development of new exhibition stands, and leveling up facilities. Overall, the game combines museum management with puzzle elements during fossil excavations, all wrapped in simple controls. With charming pixel art characters and a sense of anticipation for each discovery, players are motivated to gather numerous fossils and create their dream museum in this fun and engaging simulation.
