Ian Kirkpatrick and Imran Ali loved the “really interesting, inclusive and original approach” and commended it for being “refreshingly and unabashedly non-digital!” Part of the charm of the game was that it could “be played easily on-site in remote locations” and  “mimics the teacher/student archeological process in a clever way.”

Paul Backhouse commented that the creation of a game like this was a fabulous and innovative approach to the competition. 

For constructive critique the judges noted that the “rules were more complex than expected, requiring reading rather than a verbal explanation.”

For future directions the judges hoped to see the visuals refined for a more polished appearance. 

The approach of playful engagement with archaeology is certainly a welcomed one that has observeable potential for heritage visualization.

The #THJ2017 team thoroughly enjoyed playing the game and highly reccomend that others download and play it for themselves.
