RootsTech is a family history and genealogy game. It is not a typical video game. It is more like a learning tool and event app. It is developed by FamilySearch International. You can get it on mobile. It is available on both Google Play and the App Store. The app is free to download. There are no in-app purchases. You will not see ads. It connects to the bigger RootsTech conference events. Those events sometimes have paid parts. But the app itself costs nothing.

You play by exploring family history. The app lets you watch recorded classes from past RootsTech events. You can learn how to start your family tree. You can discover stories about your ancestors. My favorite part is the 'Relatives at RootsTech' feature. It uses your FamilySearch family tree. Then it shows you if you are related to other people at the conference. It is fun to see how you connect to friends or even famous speakers. It makes history feel personal and alive.

It is hard to compare to other games. It is unique. The closest things are other family tree apps like Ancestry or MyHeritage. But those are for serious research. RootsTech is more about learning and community. It is less about searching records. I recommend this app if you like history or want to start genealogy. It is a friendly and free way to begin. It is perfect with the free FamilySearch website.
