A pixel digging adventure about the Cubbies, buried treasure and artifacts

Dig, Cubby, Dig! The Artifact Hunters

Dig, find chests and keys, collect artifacts and complete quests. Who will be the first to earn a million coins and carry on the adventure?

Play

My dear grandkids!

Each of you gets a little house of your own in the Forest. And under the Forest I have hidden my treasures!

The treasures are in chests. The deeper, the more wonderful! The keys lie elsewhere, so hunt for them too.

Chest — home, onto its stand. Key — click! Alarm clock — tick-tock… ding! Lid — pop!

And inside the chest, a magic artifact. Put it on a shelf, and it will give you coins!

Save up a million coins, and the Owl will give you my next letter. And in it, the road to a new land!

There are six letters in all. And the last one holds my greatest treasure!

Love, Grandad Oldby

What's in the game

Biomes

Every land is a world of its own, with its own house, chests and creatures. The journey starts in the Forest: get rich in one land, and the road to the next one opens. Ahead lie the Desert, the Tundra, the Jungle and more.

Chests

From wooden to infernal. The deeper, the rarer and more wonderful, and their keys lie elsewhere.

Artifacts

Every chest holds an artifact. Bring the chest home, turn the key, wait for the alarm clock to ring, then put your find on a shelf: it drops coins.

Houses

Chest stands, shelves, a workbench. Coins add new levels to your vault, and at the workbench you can upgrade your drill.

Race you!

Every grandkid has a house next door, but the treasure underground is shared: a chest goes to whoever finds it first. Who will get rich the fastest?

Hostile creatures

Spiders, thieving rats and scarier beasts lurk under the grass and in the caves, and at night bats circle overhead. A sword and a bow deal with them, and a torch keeps many of them away.

Quests and mages

Quests with riddles help you find chests and keys. For a crystal, mages give you a new heart or bolt.

Screenshots

The cube hero in a forest meadow: a cherry tree in bloom, apple trees and spruces, magpies in the grass and on the branches, mountains and the sun in the distance
The Forest by day: flowers, birds and a cherry in bloom
The hero with a torch in a cave: a green crystal glows nearby, a chest on either side, torches burning on the walls
Torches and a crystal light the cave. And here's a chest!
The hero with a torch on the shore of a lava lake; a fire salamander spits fire at him from the lava
Deepest of all: lava. The fire salamander spits fire!
A cutaway of the hero's house: an Amethyst Chest has opened on its stand and an artifact rises over it; beside it, another chest's alarm clock ticks
Back home the alarm clock rang: an artifact in the chest
A mage's hut: a mage in a green hat with a staff says to the hero, "Hey, traveler! Come here — I've got a job for you!"
A mage is calling: he has a job for you
Evening by the lake: the hero reels in a fish with his rod, it thrashes by the float, the sun sets over the mountains
Evening fishing: they're biting!
A storm at night: clouds, forked lightning strikes near the hero, an owl sits in a big spruce, bats fly over the meadow
At night a storm rumbles over the forest
