TAP DIG MY MUSEUM Reviews

So first off I really do enjoy this game. That being said, I recently purchased a pack of gems and they never arrived. I tried everything short of deleting and reinstalling (because consumables are finicky about it). Usually, I would then look to message the people in charge of TAPDIGMYMUSEUM . However, upon going to their twitter I couldn’t message them. Now, dude? You know there’s an “App Support” button right? You can find them there, duh! So naturally, I tapped it and guess where it went? Their twitter. So then, I did some more digging to find their website, because oh they DO have one, but nothing! Just some “look at these updates” and I had to translate it too which made it more bitter. So here I am, $5 in the hole, which yeah, it’s not a lot but it still matters. This actually happens to me a lot. I still have the whole “ask for approval” thing which, in every game I’ve ever played (except one), I don’t get my purchase until as little as a day passes, if even that! But really, the main problem is the lack of the “restore purchases” button AND having no way to contact them. I have been charged, and have nothing to show for it.

This game has really cute and smooth graphics, and a reasonable level progression. I also like the color lighting you can play with. Its great for three minutes at a time. You won’t be able to afford to dig for more that unless you check in just to collect the bag and trigger the bus a bunch of times. Which is fine - its an idle game i guess. *edit: except it doesn’t collect money when idle so its not really an idle game either.

What really makes the game a little dull is that in every dig the bones are always found in the same order. Torso, tail, head - with the skull/jaw always being the last one found. If you level up you can almost always find a bone during a dig - which is fine. Except you also find the same bone WAY too often. After the first few digs you will find only 1 of 2 new bones every turn. Put another way - for every skull you find you will find 8-10+ copies of each vertebrae and/or rib. Its kind if a drag because you can see the game literally throttling your progress. I get that the game has to do this, but its not hidden very well. The shuffling/selling/storing part of the game is not really clear. It seems easier to mess it up then make it better.

This game is a fairly fun time waster. I completed what is available in about 4 hours total. I’ve collected every dinosaur fossil set and upgraded every power up to the max capability. It’s an idle game however not how most idle games are. You don’t get anything by not playing. You have to have the game open in order to have guest spending money to view your museum. They spend fairly quickly though so it’s not that bad. I am disappointed that the T-rex fossil wasn’t one of the first available sets though. I’d like to see more power ups in the future, like a pickaxe upgrade that eventually mines through multi layered tiles in one hit. And maybe once you’ve completed the first museum, have the ability to open another museum with new fossils while still collecting money from Guest at the previous museum. I rated as a 4 star because while it is a pretty enjoyable game, it’s not ready for release as it’s so quickly beaten in its current state and lacks any progress. Hopefully a future update will include some good changes that will change this to a 5 star. I will be keep TAPDIGMYMUSEUM to look for future updates!

This is a fun little game, with simple mechanics and without real obstacles to completion. You're not forced to wait hours upon hours for the next fossil to be available and your equipment can be easily upgraded, without spending real-world money. There are some forced ads, but there are also plenty of opportunities for perks by opting to watch one yourself. On the other hand, the game does feel a bit too easy at times. Accidentally leave your game open for a while and you'll gain enough money to plow through a good number of upgrades. Digging for fossils lacks finesse. By the time you've upgraded your pickaxe and number of taps, you can basically demolish the site without paying much attention.

Overall, the game is definitely enjoyable: I recommend it, but it does feel a bit empty. I personally wouldn't mind a slightly higher level of difficulty, some fossils other than dinosaurs, perhaps some information on the completed ones?, and something to do with the museum other than digging them up and rearranging things. Plus, I'm still not quite sure what the point of the bonus fossils is. That's the one thing I found more-or-less challenging, but when I finally completed one, the payoff was pretty underwhelming. I'm looking forward to future updates and seeing where they take the game!

I’ve been playing for 3 days now and it’s great for the most part. It’s a very cute, addicting, and fun little game though it could use a few things. Firstly, I wish there were more written explanations of game mechanics. For example, I thought selling the bones/skeleton would only sell the duplicate bones but it actually sells the whole thing. Would have been good to know! And I’m still not very sure how the research part works. Secondly, it would be great if the actual digging “puzzle” part lasted for more than 10 seconds. It can take a while to save up coins for something that ends so quickly, which feels disappointing. Thirdly, a little more info about the dinosaurs would be good to have in the encyclopedia, it feels very sparse. Lastly, it would be better if the emojis were different colors based on the visitor’s mood because it’s hard to tell which emoji they’re expressing when they’re so tiny and the same color. Regardless, it’s a fun time waster and I’ll definitely continue playing it.

I am obsessed with this game. I play it on my breaks, walking, riding the bus. Its an awesome game with a lot of content and it has quickly became one of my favorites. That being said, I wish that the game could get an expansion such as another fool or more rooms. I really would like to have all of my fossils on display but for right now, I have to keep some in storage. Knowing that there will be an addition to fossils, I think this is a must. Another thing is that finding the same fossil over and over gets annoying. If you have already found the fossil for that specific dinosaur, it shouldn’t be have to be found again. Its already hard enough searching for them and leveling up. Also right now where I am in the game, i have 24/26 of the possible dinosaurs but there are no more spots to dig. Ive gone back trying to find hidden bones that would unlock another dig-spot but I haven't found any. So for now I’ve stopped playing the game because of frustration. Other than those few things, this is a great game and I would recommend to anybody.

This game has earned all of its high star ratings. Really, it looks like it wouldn’t be very nuanced, but in my opinion, it is the ideal free game.
The game’s premise is simple. You dig for fossils, you put them in the museum, you get money to dig for more fossils. Toss in some upgrades here and there, and you are able to progress through the game. Typically, you’d expect for this process to require you to wait for hours for you museum to collect coins. However, you are able to actively play this game and have no need to wait for the next upgrade. This is something that shouldn’t be so rare, but this game allows you to catch up with the current content. It doesn’t put day long build timers like you’d expect it to, it lets you get right into the next part of the game, right away. Apart from the simple gameplay, it is just aesthetically pleasing. It doesn’t have a whole bunch of banner ads, it focuses on simple animations of the mining and museum, and even puts in an animation before a forced ad appears, allowing you to be prepared (I also noticed that the ads shifted from being primarily unskippable ads into either instant skip or 5 second skip ads, which was also a big plus).
If you’re looking for a game that is challenging, this isn’t the right choice, but I would still recommend TAPDIGMYMUSEUM because it is probably one of the best finds on TAPDIGMYMUSEUM Store I have had in years.

I can’t stop playing this game. I’ve stopped doing my schoolwork. I don’t eat. I don’t sleep. All I want to do is play this game.
I’m obsessed with dinosaurs, so the fact that this game displays them so nicely has me hooked. It’s so fun to dig up the dinosaurs and even more fun to display and arrange them in my museum. I love the new update that allows you to change the lighting and the layout of the museum and I can’t WAIT for the next update because I need more of this game. I would suggest that you add a toggle feature in the layout so that you can move the displays in front of/behind each other instead of having to delete all of them. Otherwise, this game is 100% perfect. I’d like to add that I’m a 20-year-old woman but if this developer were to come out with more animal/nature themed games that were just as good I would probably have to stop doing everything else in my life to play them.

This is as mentioned in another review I saw: An Ideal Free Game. I absolutely love this game. I enjoy that you get to customize your own museum right from the get-go and theres an absolute minimum when it comes to forced pathing on how you place your dino stands. I really enjoy the colors so I can make all of my floors color coded. I also really like that you can either pick the right tool for the right materials if you really want the bones, but just going with your favorite tool wont lose your chance at the bones. I absolutely love this game. Me and my girlfriend have been addicted to it when we got COVID and still are! Aside from that, im excited for the coming updates and hoping for some more platinum stages for the really big dinosaurs. Also!! I love the 3rd bone discovery feature. Was so excited to find some of the dinosaurs that way. Game has earned its stars for sure, hope to see more, thank you <3

I love this game and only have two Dino's left to find. I was reading the comments and people were complaining about there being no offline component. I feel like the game would be not fun anymore if there was offline earnings enabled. For example, the way I was able to get to the level I am at was by leaving my game running while the device was charging. I left it like that overnight with two full rooms and the vacuums at max for both. Then when I woke up, the game had crashed (probably in the middle of the night) but when I opened it, the vacuums had been able to gather 950,000 in cash meaning that I could be able to buy every upgrade and play the game without worrying about money. This made the game not as enjoyable as it was before. So I'd recommend fixing that (putting a timer or max amount a vacuum could gather before it stops gathering) for the next update. But the point I'm trying to get to is that the game is fine how it is without offline earnings.

I’ve been playing this game for a few weeks, and it has to be one of my all time favorites. I’m in the process of re-kindling my love for dinosaurs, and this game has been a blast! It has SO many different types of dinosaurs, when I first started I figured it would just be the basic velociraptor, triceratops, T-Rex, pterodactyl, etc. but there is so much more than I ever could have expected. Each fossil is so detailed and the bones are fully rendered, even if there are parts of them hidden behind the rest of the fossil. This game just feels so polished in every aspect. There is such attention to detail, and there are so many options for customization! The ads are so infrequent, especially compared to other mobile games nowadays, and you usually get a reward for watching them. I have zero complaints about this game. I suppose I’m biased because of my love for dinosaurs, but this game really is something else

I’ve been on the look out for a good game for a while now. I don’t usually leave reviews but this time I had to. I’d like to mention that I’ve only been playing this for about an hour or so now but the game is fun, and being able to advance in the game without so many ads or greed is a major win! This game will continue to be successful if it keeps that mindset. Majority of players will stay loyal to a game so long as it keeps the vibe and goal that it had in the beginning. I am hoping that with this game it doesn’t get to a point later on that I have to spend money in order to really play it. Cause then that will change my review. But so far so good! I love this game. Even told my friends and brother about it. I love fossils and digging up fossils, and going on excavations are really fun! I’ve been eyeing this game for a while now, and thought it would be just like every other stupid “farm” game out there. Eventually you can’t advance without money, but this game so far is amazing!

I can’t remember if I had left a review or sent an email. Either way, I had said the game was a 4.5. It’s not like you have to hover in TAPDIGMYMUSEUM . It doesn’t have as many dark patterns. When I’m waiting for better upgrades I check in to get the offline rewards then come back, do upgrades and go hunt for fossils.

I had given the game a 4/5 because all of the skeletons were the same size. While velociraptor is still ‘too big’ I understand not only will most people not recognize real velociraptor was Coyote size and also some of the beautiful details would not really stand out of some of the models were smaller so I will let some of them go because I do understand from the technological side. That being said, now I guess since I have played (it was a very long time) I’m very impressed with some of the changes recent updates have brought out.

Very fun and fairly realistic at least for a mobile game. You rarely find a perfect complete skeleton and the general public would be frustrated by an incomplete fossil. What, is scientific discovery not exciting enough for you? Fairly fun game and there is great attention to detail, it works smoothly and the ads are not overwhelming. Developers and everyone who put work into TAPDIGMYMUSEUM really did good.

This game is so much fun and so cute! I never feel pressured to pay money, there are no adds unless you want to spin the wheel to get another award for the day. I love how accurate everything is and the art style the music everything is just amazing. It’s one of the last really good games in TAPDIGMYMUSEUM Store that doesn’t have 90 million micro-transactions in order to enjoy it. I love how some fossils have variations in poses I think that’s super cool! I would also LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it if the developer would create more invertebrate fossils that are able to be found. I love that we have so many ammonoids to find and trilobites but there’s so many more that can be added! Like crinoids and blastoids and echinoderms and brachiopoda and so so so much. I also love the 6 display shelves and I just want more!

The only thing I have to say is PLEASE allow more rooms to be built in the museum. You can’t fit all of the dinosaur fossils you find because there simply isn’t enough room and I hate picking and choosing because they are all just so amazing!

It’s such a relief to get a new update after so long; I had gone over a month without any new material. Each new specimen I dig up adds more prestige to the museum (I can even forgive their not being to scale lol) and I can never wait to see what dig site opens up next.

Several years after my original review, I’m starting to look ahead to what might still be possible—after all, we’re limited to what’s inside our own planet, and the suspension of disbelief is beginning to crack with the strength of the dirt and rocks that we’re digging through. I mean, what’s left, lava dirt and rainbow crystal? So I thought; what if it’s time for a Tap! Dig! sequel that steps outside our boundaries?

Imagine, if you will, our intrepid curator and his steadfast assistant opening the last room of the museum and stumbling upon an odd portal. On the other side lies a vast multiversal nexus linked to its own array of digs and displays, but from a much wider variety of sources: mythology, literature, cryptology, even stuff you just made up on the fly. The possibilities are limitless!

This is such an amazing game. It is very simple and as a simple goal to go with it. It bypasses many of the most popular games in the AppStore. It isn't loaded with ads at every corner and it lets you set your own pace - no waiting for a timer to progress nor any rush to keep playing. Despite the games simplicity, it keeps interest with having a constant goal as opposed to other games where you collect points for nothing (I'm talking about the games from the constant ads you get on Instagram or other games that seem interesting but you get bored of in ten minutes). I've unlocked everything I can in this version of the game but it took me a good amount of time. I can't wait for the next update so I can keep playing my favorite game!
Edit: Now that there are four levels, I have one suggestion. It takes a long time to navigate the museum with only the arrows so a helpful feature that could be added would be a map of the museum where one can open the map and simply click on the room they want to go to. That would make navigating faster.

So I downloaded this game last week cuz I was bored. It’s so fun to search for fossils!! The dinosaurs look amazing with that pixely look, but not too pixely to make them look bad. The ads are perfect, you don’t get an ad after every time you dig. But you can voluntarily watch ads to get rewards. The prices are expensive, but not so expensive that you completely give up. This game inspired me to start making games of my own. I do have a few suggestions though. 1/ There are lots of dinosaurs that you can get, but you can’t display all of them. More rooms would be great! 2/ Gems are a bit too hard to get. Maybe if they were a bit more common in digs. 3/ I don’t know if you are working on this, but a Christmas event would be pretty cool. Like snowy dig sites, and the dinosaurs have Christmas decorations on them. It would be so funny! Also maybe a Halloween event, and more holidays. 4/ You see people walking around your museum, and then you spot six people that look the exact same. More people designs would be perfect. Anyways, those were all my thoughts on the game. This game is the best, hope it gets more amazing updates!!

This game is great for if you want to play it every now and again, and if you want to play it and get to the end in a fairly short amount of time- i like that you can organize the dinosaurs as you please and also that you have differences in the sizes of each spot for dinosaurs. I would like of you could arrange each dinosaur to a location as you please so you could maybe have a Quetzalcoatlus at the entrance for example in place if where the second “medium stand” is. I also think the Ads are fantastic in the way they are used in the game. I believe it is balanced perfectly so you aren't gaining too much or too little from watching one. I think that maybe adding a way to change out a medium area for two smaller places, or a large for medium or two small spaces, etc., would be nice as well in order to, say, remove one dinosaur because you like another one more? Over all though, i love the game, and think it’s going great, and i can’t wait for further updates! (Also a personal little request I’d like to add, could you have a Suchomimus, and/or Allosaurus added in to the game in the following update please? They’re my two favorite dinosaurs!) Great work on the game!

UPDATE: I’ve paid for the ad removal now because not only has the developer delivered on updating TAPDIGMYMUSEUM , but they’ve done more than I expected, adding not only new dinosaurs, but also expanding to non-dinosaur fossils. I hope there is more in store. I’ll buy a diamond pack with every future update. If you read these and are open to suggestions: Please consider adding crocodilians as a new clade, and add more options to the exhibit placement menu. Allow us to move the tiers up and down without having to remove and replace all of the stands.

Old review: Just finished the game, and I must say that I’m pleasantly surprised by TAPDIGMYMUSEUM. The ads are fair and your progress isn’t held back by any time unlocks or anything like that. I love paleontology and all things dinosaurs so this has become my new pass-time app when I’m in-between chores, errands and work. TAPDIGMYMUSEUM isn’t particularly educational, so don’t get it for that reason. I’m currently holding off on purchasing the “no-ads” option for a few reasons. Firstly, money is tight all around right now—thanks Corona Virus. Secondly, while the game has been very fun, I beat it in a fairly short time. That said, supposedly there is an update planned soon. If this actually happens, I’ll gladly support TAPDIGMYMUSEUM monetarily.

Sorry for the horrible pun.
I love this game and I’ve not even had it for a week. It’s cute, digging is fun, watching the fossil get completed is super satisfying, and the best part is as free really means ad free! There’s only the roulette that still plays ads, unlike many other games where they offer a bonus but you have to watch an ad to get the bonus (pocket world 3D bonus event chances and extra time in fast and furious challenge, merge dragons extra chalice chances, for example) but here they offer a bonus bus ticket or bonus stamina and if you’ve purchased ad free, you actually get the bonuses without ads!
My only wish was maybe a small “manual” you could access that explains things such as the ? extra fossils I got or explaining how to store the fossils. (I sold a few to uncover others before I realized the cyclical arrows weren’t a “share” link but a “store” option.) other than that, it’s marvelous. Keep up the great work!
