Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Fossil Hunt is a dino-riffic Augmented Reality (AR) app. You'll see dinosaurs come alive in the world around you through your phone or tablet. You can play Fossil Hunt at home or at participating museums where you can unlock extra dinosaurs! Print the markers that come with the app and place them around the house. Then aim your device at the marker to see a digsite appear. Tap to excavate the digsite and swipe to dust off a cool virtual dino fossil with a cool real-life dino fact. Then, your fascinating dino fossil turns into a stomping, snorting dino that you can play with in the world around you! If you play at home you’ll meet: Baby Triceratops, Kentrosaurus, and Psittacosaurus. If you play at a participating museum you can span special markers at the museum to meet: Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Stygimoloch, Futalognkosaurus, and Quetzalcoatlus. Happy Fossily Hunting! Fossil Hunt is brought to you by Sinking Ship Entertainment (Dino Dana, Endlings, Odd Squad, Annedroids)
