ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITY LAUNCHES
“DIG QUEST: ISRAEL,” THE FIRST ARCHEOLOGY
APP FOR CHILDREN
|
| December 4, 2014: The Israel Antiquities Authority has launched its “Dig Quest: Israel” app, featuring archeology games and puzzles for children, available for free download on iPhone and iPad devices from the Apple app store.
“Dig Quest: Israel” introduces children, ages 7-11, to archeology with unique games featuring artifacts from the National Treasures of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The app includes: more than 30 levels in two games; more than 50 images of historical artifacts; historical and archeological facts; translated and spoken excerpts from the Dead Sea Scrolls; a collection box to store artifacts and discoveries; and an archeologist host character named Gabe.
Players select between two dig sites: At Lod, the player has to clear dirt to uncover an ancient Roman mosaic and then identify and classify the animals and objects on the mosaic in a fast-paced quiz game; in the Qumran caves, the player pieces together fragments of the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls in a puzzle game. The scrolls can then be scanned to reveal their text more clearly, mirroring the spectral imaging process executed by the Israel Antiquities Authority team.
