Morgan:
I, honestly, didn't really enjoy this game. It was informative, but it was way too long. And, all I was able to do is press buttons. So, it was kind of lame.
I did learn alot though. I forgot what i learned. About the artifacts and what not.

Mariah:
this game was kinda.......long but it was very informative. i dont really kno what Mohenjo-Daro is. But it was cool to uncover those artifacts. Maybe that place was fake and they made it up.

If they did make it up they did a good job because they had a lot of information o n that city. I probably wouldn't play it again only because it was soo long!!.
