Guess the daily prehistoric creature in 6 tries — dinosaurs, flying and sea reptiles, Ice-Age beasts and other ancient life. Each wrong guess or Skip reveals another clue.
Solving on try 1–6 earns 12 / 10 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2 points. Miss all six and you earn 0.
Reveal the Bonus clue (tries 1–3 only) and the day's score is halved.
Play streak counts days played in a row. Correct streak counts days solved in a row. Complete a 7-day cycle to earn 7 points, or 14 if you solved every day.
A new creature is unearthed every day at UTC midnight.
Fossily is a free daily dinosaur and fossil guessing game. Each day there's one mystery prehistoric creature, the same for every player, from more than 450 dinosaurs, marine reptiles, pterosaurs and ancient mammals.
Each wrong guess or skip reveals another clue. You'll always get its group, such as theropod, sauropod or pterosaur, and a memorable fact, along with hints like its diet, the period it lived in, where its fossils were found and its size, with its initials among the last clues. Clues are shuffled every day, with broader hints tending to come first and the strongest ones last.
You have six guesses. Solve it on your first guess for 12 points, or 10, 8, 6, 4 or 2 points on later guesses. Stuck early? The optional bonus clue reveals the kind of creature it was. It's available during your first three guesses, but it halves that day's score.
Play every day to grow your play streak, solve every day to grow your correct streak, and play seven days in a row for a cycle bonus of 7 points, or 14 if you solved all seven. Your Fossily results also count towards your combined Streakly totals and milestone badges. A new prehistoric creature arrives every day at midnight UTC.
