About this game

Deep in the jungle lies Kintun, a lost golden city. The trail there is full of buried treasures, and you are the one to dig them up. Drag carved stone blocks onto the dig site. Fill a whole row or column and it clears, taking one layer of soil off every cell in the line. The radar shows where the relic parts lie buried.

Here is the twist: once part of a relic is uncovered, clearing a line over it cracks it. Plan your clears so each part comes out whole. A cracked part isn't lost, but it makes the museum puzzle harder. Every freed part flies up into the relic's outline, and when all its parts are found you rebuild it piece by piece and put it in your museum, with a short true fact about the real objects that inspired it.

Golden shards turn up as you dig. Collect 100 and reach the end of the trail to rebuild Kintun itself, then keep digging in endless mode. Calm jungle music, no timer, no rush.

  • 40 relics, 8 areas: jade masks, painted cacao vases, a ball-game ring, a shell trumpet, a chacmool and more, from the jungle floor and a river cave to the temple steps, a sacred well, a ball court, a palace, an observatory and the gates of Kintun.
  • Don't crack it: an uncovered part cracks if you clear a line over it, so every clear is a little plan.
  • Restore and collect: rebuild each relic in your museum, with a true fact about the real one.
  • 200 dig sites: deeper and trickier as you go, then the golden city, endless digging and a new daily dig every day.
  • Help when you want it: smash a block, brush away soil, shield a fragile part or reveal what lies below. Optional short videos only, never forced, no purchases.
