Museum time! Tap your finds from OLDEST to NEWEST.
TIME DIG 3D
Be an archaeologist! Dig down through the layers of soil: the deeper you go, the further back in time. Watch the walls of your holes for glints, find the hidden treasures, and put history in order for your museum. With 3D glasses you can see right down into your holes.

Do you have 3D glasses? Red-green, red-blue and red-cyan glasses all work.
You can change this any time from the menu.

How deep?
Less depth is easier on the eyes. More depth pops out more.
1. Hide the green bar
Put the glasses on and cover the eye behind the green lens, so you look only through the red lens. Slide left until the green bar disappears.
2. Hide the red bar
Now cover the eye behind the red lens, so you look only through the green lens. Slide left until the red bar disappears.
3D mode is just a fun way to play. If your eyes feel tired, take a break or play without glasses.
HOW TO PLAY
Tap a square of the dig site to dig down one layer. Each layer of soil is from a different time: the deeper, the older. The coloured labels under the site show which layer is which.
Treasures are hidden in the layers. When you dig next to one, it glints ✨ in the wall of your hole, at its own depth. Dig the square next door, down to that layer!
You only have so many digs (⛏️), so follow the glints instead of digging everywhere.
Find every treasure, then put them in order in the museum quiz, oldest first. Remember: deeper means older.
⭐ for finding them all, ⭐ for the quiz right first time, ⭐ for 3 or more digs to spare. Every treasure goes in your museum: tap it to read about it.
HOW 3D WORKS
Try this: hold up a finger and look at it with one eye, then the other. It jumps! Your brain uses the jump between your eyes to see depth: stereo vision.
The game draws the dig twice, from two eyes a little apart, in red and in green (or blue). The glasses give each eye its own picture, so your holes really sink down into the screen.
Dig fact: over hundreds of years, dust, leaves and rubble slowly pile up, so the ground gets higher. Things dropped long ago end up buried deep. Archaeologists call the layers strata, and the rule “deeper is older” helps them date what they find.
