An Introduction to Archaeology

Online Archaeology Games and Simulations Reviews
Treasures of the deep game Diver's Quest

Anna and Danielle

We learned a lot about the shipwrecks around the British Isles. There is a lot good and valuable information available before you start the game. However, we cannot find out a lot about which techniques are used in general in marine archaeology. It only gives us information on marine archaeology around the British Isles, and not anywhere else around the world. 

Good Points

Bad Points

The graphics are nice

It does not change the questions or shuffle the order of the questions

The questions are interesting and tricky

It lets you cheat

If you are looking for something quite simple, it is good

Because you can cheat, it takes off a lot of the challenge

The layout is very nice and the drawings are quite humorous

It does not time you during the activity

The instructions are easy

It does not tell us the date or who discovered which marine artefact.

Not much interactivity: you just answer questions

Conclusion:

This game is quite good, and fun to do. However, it should be made more challenging.

It was not too easy and not too hard we got 10 out of 10 on the 3rd try. The instructions were clear and simple, so young people can easily understand it. It is good because they way they performed it made us absolutely want to have a go! We learned lots of stuff like how ‘the bends’ is another term for decompression sickness, and that ‘The Swan’ is a Cromwellian shipwreck that was found off the west coast of Scotland. The disadvantage was that it was a 50/50 chance and when you win you don’t get anything. This game was not very interactive, as all you can do is answer the questions given.
