CaveSim

Amazingly realistic caves, in a mobile version! CaveSim is an educational experience that makes learning effortless and fun.  Look down! What's under your feet? Awesome caves! Come crawl and climb through CaveSim to learn about caves and test your careful-explorer skills. Try not to hit the delicate formations as you explore 150 feet of artificial cave passage. A computer tracks each artificial formation that you hit so you can see your damage and me when you finish caving. But that's not all! Try your hand at vertical caving on a 12 foot tower. Get hands-on practice with cave rescue equipment, including a rescue stretcher and cave rescue phones. See how tight a space you can fit through with our squeezebox. CaveSim is good clean fun for everyone in your family.
