Jurassic Attack at Dinosaur National Monument - Dinolings: Fossils & Earth History Adventure

Jurassic Attack at Dinosaur National Monument

Dinolings: Fossils & Earth History Adventure

A critical fossil preservation zone inside Dinosaur National Monument has been compromised.

Deep within layers of ancient rock, fossil beds that have remained undisturbed for millions of years are beginning to fracture. Sedimentary layers are collapsing, exposed remains are shifting, and vital clues about Earth’s past are at risk of being lost forever. Ari Raider has detected a dangerous disturbance within restricted fossil zones and needs explorers to investigate before irreversible damage occurs.

In Jurassic Attack at Dinosaur National Monument, students enter one of the richest fossil sites on Earth on a high-stakes, escape-room-style mission. By learning how fossils form, how scientists read rock layers, and how life has changed over geologic time, explorers must stabilize the site, protect ancient evidence, and recover the Mystery Dig hidden deep within the formation.

This adventure blends fossils and Earth history science with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
