Desert Relic Adventure Kit

Cross the shifting sands, follow the ancient clues, and uncover the secrets hidden inside a long-lost desert relic.

The Desert Relic Adventure Kit is a hands-on, choose-your-own-adventure dig experience where kids uncover real mystery specimens, collect trading cards, and continue the mission through free online adventures.

Inside this kit, young adventurers will discover six unique mystery specimens and six collectible trading cards. Each discovery becomes part of their growing Excavating Adventures collection and inspires them to keep exploring, learning, and collecting.

The Adventure Begins

Ari Raider, the Curator of the Excavating Adventures collection, needs help.

The Professor has stolen rocks, minerals, fossils, and specimens from the collection and hidden them in secret locations around the world. This time, the clues lead across a vast desert filled with ancient ruins, buried chambers, wind-carved cliffs, and mysterious relics waiting beneath the sand.

It is up to your young adventurer to follow the trail, complete the missions, uncover the specimens, and help Ari recover the missing collection.

Every dig reveals a new discovery. Every clue brings them closer to solving the mystery.
