Fossil Quest is a charming fossil digging and museum-building simulation game where players travel the world to uncover ancient dinosaur remains and create their very own prehistoric exhibit. Developed by a two-person indie team, this cozy prototype offers a relaxing experience of excavation, assembly, and creativity – all from the comfort of your home.

Discover the Joy of Fossil Quest

Fossil Quest allows you to have a scientific adventure which is as peaceful as it is satisfying. Explore different excavation spots that are scattered around the world, unearthing the ancient bones and fossil remains that are buried under the rocks and soil.

All discoveries are stories – and all the bones lead you nearer in finishing your next prehistoric masterpiece.

When you have gathered your fossils, go home and put the skeletons together in your personal museum. Fossil Quest offers as much creative freedom as you wish it to have: make your dinosaurs form a majestic pose or make them pose in an absurd manner. Your exhibition is finished, and now you can open your museum to the world, and show your collection, and demonstrate all your paleontological skills.

Build, Decorate, and Curate Your Museum

Your home doubles as a customizable dinosaur museum. With coins earned from your discoveries, you can:

  • Display your fossil exhibits in creative poses.
  • Redecorate your museum with furniture, decorations, and lighting.
  • Add personal touches – from wallpaper to posters – to give your museum its own charm.
  • Share your creation with the community by posting photos of your setup.
  • Each display you curate contributes to your growing museum empire — one bone at a time.
