Un punto importante para este juego educativo de Google es la colaboración llevada a cabo con el Museo Nacional de Antropología de México, para estar así ante una aventura gráfica tipo Zelda, aunque con sus diferencias más que visibles.

La mecánica de juego es bien sencilla al mover a nuestro protagonista con el stick de control para así ir recuperando las piezas de los mapas por los que nos moveremos.
