Comments on Idle Archaeologist for Android

★★★★★ Andalucia Prendes · Sep 3, 2026
Love the game, especially the realistic artwork and humorous descriptions. One question-- I haven't been able to find the last 5 items for the Bronze Age, even though I've fully discovered/unlocked up through to the Iron Age and indus valley locations. Is this a bug, or something tied to a location I haven't unlocked yet? Thanks!
