Played this for an hour right after I installed. Love it! Amazing graphics learned a bunch and had fun. Not much more to ask of a free app

PIXEL PIRATE STUDIO yet again show their artistic talents with these great illustrations!!!! Definitely going to be looking for what they got coming out next!!!!!!

Such a clever way to engage kids of all ages to learn. My kids and I still battle it out for extra points and discuss the artifacts. We all look forward to visiting the Field museum in Chicago to see these items up close. When's the next update? We want more.


Awesome!

This is yet another example of what sets the Field Museum miles ahead of the rest. Not many other museums could manage to produce such an entertaining app. Need more cards, though.


Love it

My kids (5,9,&13) have played it for hours! They can't wait until our next visit to the Field. The only small complaint is that they can't figure out how to unlock the last two cards in each category. We're hoping they become available in an update soon.


Addicting!

It's a really fun app with a lot of elements, but I wish the cards would get shuffled more in single player mode. I always get the same group of cards and the computer player always gets the same group of cards. And I haven't seen a Sue card turn up in play since the last update. I also wish there was a way to unlock the final cards for people who don't live anywhere near Chicago. I still give it 5 stars, though, because for a free app, you can't beat it! It would be great for kids, but I love it too!


Fun app with many layers, but...

Super fun (if a little shallow) card game, love the memory game for the younger son. Two different curators at the museum itself had no idea what it was or how to find more unlock codes. Maybe not yet supported on site, but it should be really fun and interesting if it ever gets integrated into the museum experience.
