In 2010, Dig-It! Games received industry praise for its first game, Roman Town. At Dig-It! Games, fun and learning go hand in hand.
Dig-It! Games is dedicated to encouraging kids to explore the world around them through historically accurate content that conforms to curriculum standards and seamlessly blends entertainment and learning.
Suzi Wilczynski launched Dig-It! Games in 2005. Wilczynski is a trained archaeologist with nearly 10 years of dig experience, including projects in Greece and Israel. Formerly a middle-school teacher, Wilczynski found few classroom options for teaching students about the fundamentals and importance of archaeology. She developed Mayan Mysteries and Roman Town to give classroom instructors and parents fun, interactive tools to help students learn about ancient civilizations through archaeology.
Robert J. Sharer was an archaeologist and professor of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania for more than 30 years. Sharer oversaw excavations in Central America over five decades.
