Detect o-saurus
The document summarizes an interactive game called Detect-o-Saurus where players work together to dig up dinosaur fossils and bones, identify the dinosaurs they belonged to by assembling skeletons, and learn about dinosaurs. The game involves using different tools like a Skelly-Telly to search underground and a JCB digger to excavate bones. Players take turns controlling different parts of the game and building up their trophy cabinet of dinosaur finds.

Detect o-saurus
- 1. Detect-o-Saurus Dig up that dinosaur (press anywhere to continue)
- 2. Who’s playing Detect-o-saurus? Let’sstart by finding out who is going to play. Add all your names here, then press continue Add Continue
- 3. Colossal Fossilator 1 Firstwe are going to walk to the start of the game. See the red post over there by the steps? Go over there and then press this button I’m at the post!
- 4. Colossal Fossilator 2 Whenyou press the “Next” button a grid of rectangles will appear. These represent areas where you can dig for fossils. Move around to enter a new rectangle - as you enter, it will change colour. When this happens, press “Dig” and see what you find – finds appear in your trophy cabinet Next
- 5. Colossal Fossilator Emily: finda new square and dig Trophy Cabinet Dig
- 6. Fossilate the Graph Jack:drag the sabre-toothed tiger to where you think it goes on the map Trophy Cabinet Dig
- 7. Skelly-Telly Dinosaurs roamed Earthbetween x/y. Based on your observations, I think we should look for them at around z meters. The Skelly-Telly is a sophisticated device for looking under the ground without having to dig. I will give you directions on where to move for the best chance of finding a dinosaur skeleton. Let’s start now – Emily, you take the controls first. Follow the track indicated. You will see a trace of what is underground as you move.

- 9. JCB: Just collectbones You now need to get those bones. In this game you will be instructed to go to parts of the skeleton we have found and dig them up. You have to add the digger attachment and work it like a spade. When you have filled a barrow, you need dump the soil. I will show you where when the time comes.
- 10. JCB: Just collectbones Trophy Cabinet
- 11. DinoBuilder Well done, team.You’ve dug up all the bones. Let’s now see if we can piece them together to see what our Trophy Cabinet creature might have looked like. Drag the bones from the trophy cabinet to the space on the left. If they are in the right place, they will “stick”
- 12. DinoBuilder Jack: it’s yourturn to add a piece Trophy Cabinet
- 13. Video – Dinosaurcomes to life
- 14. Credits • Thanks forplaying Dectect-o-Saurus • When you hand back this tablet, your game will be uploaded to the web, and you will be able to revisit it at the Dinosaur Isle website. • Thanks to – Name 1 – Name 2 – etc
Editor's Notes
- #3 New box appears when a name is added
- #4 This function will allow the game to be played anywhere – At DI, we can check that we are in the right place using GPS coords
- #5 This function will allow the game to be played anywhere – At DI, we can check that we are in the right place using GPS coords
- #6 As you move, a rectangle changes colour representing where you are. When you press “Dig” a message appears showing how far you have dug down – 1 meter, 2 meters etc. You either find nothing or a fossil – can be randomised so different for each user
- #7 The fossils are dragged onto the graph to a position where the Y axis represents the depth found, and the X the time in millions of years when the fossil would be found. Some trial and error involved. At the end, you will be asked to indicate on the line, when you think dinosaurs lived = what depth you should look for them.
- #8 Note: Skelly-Telly does something that can’t yet be done – normally we would look for fossils on the edge of a cliff where different strata show different times in the history of the earth – the most recent layers at the top.
- #9 This is what it will look like when the game is being played. The top picture/map is erased as the layer below is revealed as the players move around
- #11 You have to make digging motions with the machine. For each dig you get a bucket. X buckets and you fill a barrow. Take the barrow to the specified place (marked on the map) to unload it. Animation shows a dinosaur styled like a JSB
- #14 Fanfare and the dinosaur comes to life
- #15 All the player interaction is stored in an “xml” file. This can be uploaded to the web and the players will have access to all their results – which players found which bits and when plus links to more research, and maybe coupons?
