This app was made the best zoo (Santa Barbara) and it shows that we can't let condors go extinct.i even saw a condor in pine mountain club.
This full 3d game gives you the opportunity to recover a virtual condor population with many true-to-life elements. Fun AND educational! #SavingSpecies
It may sound a little nerdy, but if you're looking for a game that will entertain your kids and teach them about real life conservation, this is the game! It's also fun for adults who love all those "build up your kingdom" style games. Love it!
The graphics are incredible and the game play is super fun.My kids can't get enough - what a fun way to learn about condors. BTW, hatching a chick is epic!! Where can I get more of this!
This app is true to life in what it takes to save an endangered species. Hoping this game will be both educational and fun for kids.
On my way to a healthy condor flock, my son and I have 3 chicks so far. The condor story is amazing with 23 birds in 1982 and now over 450. We hope to have over 23 condors by weeks end. Having fun...
The locations, Big Sur, Grand Canyon, and Sespe wilderness, are beautifully rendered. It's just like being there, except you are sure to see condors!
