About this game

Join every pre-schooler's favourite time-travelling explorer down at the National Museum! The Great Fossil Hunt is the first official app from Andy's Dinosaur Adventures.

This app features five fun palaeontological activities plus some spectacular video footage from the show.

Safe, ad-free fun for your little ones.

Fossil Tracking
First you'll need to track down those elusive bones - and what better way than following in the footsteps of some prehistoric giants! Match the footprints to the correct dinosaur and you'll locate the fossils in no time.

Fossil Digging
Your archaeological instincts have led you to a bed of buried fossils. Now you're here you'll need to excavate them, so get digging! Remove the obstacles and carefully rub the screen to unearth the ancient bones.

Fossil Balancing
Next, help Andy get the fossil treasure back to his office at the National Museum - but whatever you do make sure you don't drop them! Move Andy left and right to keep the bones from falling off his tray.

Fossil Cleaning
Your fossils are still encased in rock and mud - so you'll need your chisels and brushes at the ready! Chip away the stone and then dust off the sand to reveal your perfectly preserved specimen.

Fossil Placing
After a careful cleaning your fossils are looking pristine and ready to slot into a dinosaur skeleton. Drag and drop the bones into the correct places.

Dinosaur Footage
With your fossil skeleton now complete, Andy will take you back in time to show you some awesome footage of your Dinosaur roaming the Earth. That was 65 million years ago!

So what are you waiting for? Get fossil hunting!

Crashes every time that Andy goes back in time to visit the dinosaur after collecting the fossils. Just freezes, have to exit out of the app. Daughter got about 10 minutes of play out of it.

The game is great, but full of bugs. It always crashes at a point after completing each dinosaur tasks.

Doesn't work properly, freezes the whole phone until restarted. Idea is great, but just needs fixing
