The Dinosaur Who Lost Its Name

Start at the welcome desk. A dinosaur in the big hall has forgotten its name and needs your help. Walk into the largest room and find the enormous skeleton in the middle. Stand by its giant feet.

There it is — the biggest skeleton in the whole museum, waiting for its name.

Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.

Around the dinosaur are three small signs: one says 'REX', one says 'OLD', one says 'BIG'. Write down the FIRST letter of each word, in that order.

R - O - B. Tuck those three letters safely away for the end.

Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.

Look at the dinosaur's long neck and tiny head. What do you think it liked to eat — leaves up high, or other dinosaurs? Tell each other why you think so. There is no wrong answer.

Great thinking — that long neck was perfect for munching leaves from the tallest trees.

Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.

Time for a keepsake. Stand next to the dinosaur and pull your fiercest dinosaur face. Have your grown-up take one photo together to remember today.

What a roar. That photo is yours to keep forever.

Not quite — have another go. Open a hint if you'd like a nudge.

Last stop: the little plaque at the dinosaur's feet. Remember the three letters you collected? Type them in to give the dinosaur its name back. What does the plaque say its name is?

Type your answer

You did it — the plaque reads 'ROB', and the dinosaur has its name back at last.
