The app allows users to collect AR fossils throughout CFDC by finding digital “dig sites” and applying their knowledge of the exhibits to the app’s built-in trivia game. By answering questions correctly users unlock the tools needed to dig and collect 3D digital fossils. By collecting fossils from all 12 dig sites users can build a complete Bruce skeleton, and bring that skeleton to life in ways never before possible at the CFDC.
