Choose by the job to solve

Dinosaur Egg Patrol

Reconstruct a nest survey. Combine the event reports into a schedule that meets every timing rule.

Fossil Track Registry

Build a track-maker habitat. Use the fictional field observations and relationships to select compatible habitat parts.

Raptor Camp Bridge

Plan a camp delivery. Compare the available routes with the printed supply and stop conditions.

Different ways to finish the mission

Survey games reward careful ordering; delivery games require a complete workable route; habitat games connect several requirements. These are fictional paper expeditions. No digging, specimens or outdoor setup is needed.
