About Strata: Fossil Dig & Museum
Strata is a pixel-art digging game about time. Each dig site is a slice of ground: the top rows hold things lost last century, and the deeper you dig, the older the finds get, past the old empires and the ice age down to the dinosaurs. Everything you bring up goes into a museum you build yourself. HOW IT PLAYS Tap a square to swing your pick. Each swing costs stamina, and a trip ends when it runs out. Clay takes more swings than soil, hard rock needs a drill, and a find comes out only once every square of it is clear. Clean it in the workshop, put it in a case, and visitors start paying at the door. WHAT IS IN THE GAME • Ten dig sites, each with ground of its own: a river delta that floods, an old city built on itself, desert sand, jungle roots, ice, volcanic ash, a shipwreck on the sea floor, a hill of giant bones and a crater. • More than 300 finds in pixel art, from a tin car to a raptor claw. Complete a set and every ticket is worth more. • Tools to buy: a wide shovel, a drill, a detector that buzzes near buried finds, a sonar, a lamp for the dark layers and dynamite. • A museum that grows room by room, with rooms for each era, a gift shop, a café and a critic who comes to judge it. • Staff to hire: a guide, an archaeologist who digs while you are away, and a restorer. • Expeditions to send, studies paid for in scraps of old writing, and stone tablets to read. • A story: someone left a tin plate at the bottom of every site, and the ten plates lead to a door. • When the dig slows, start a new season and keep everything in the museum. Later, eras and eons turn the ground itself over. • A bottomless pit, floor after floor, for your deepest record. • A pit of the day that is the same for every player. FREE TO START, NO ADS The first three sites are free to play to the end. The Full Game, bought once, lets you dig on into the other seven sites (you still reach each one by digging) and opens the bottomless pit. Double Tickets doubles the ticket price for good. Money never buys a find: every one of them is dug up. Strata plays in English, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.

What’s new
Version 1.0.4 · Updated November 12, 2026
• Your first dig points a hand at the sparkling tile until your first find is out. • Every tap on the ground now swings your pick down onto that tile. • On a phone set to a language Strata doesn't offer yet, the game now opens in English, not German. • The phone's clock and battery are readable again on the museum photo, the Pit of the day and the Bottomless pit.
