How to play

Tap and swipe

Every hit pays gold. Drag across a row to hit each rock on the way. Your first pick needs two hits for a cobblestone.

Forge better picks

Collect each layer’s ore to forge the next pick. Rocks then break in one hit, and one swipe clears a row.

Hire a crew

Pickaxes, Ore Carts, Drills and more work next to you and earn gold every second, even while you are away.

Break the guardian

When a layer is dug out, its guardian rises. Break it, aiming for the crack that glows, and dive to the next layer.

About the Supporter pack

The whole game is free. The Pocket Quarry Supporter pack is an optional one-time purchase of US$4.99 that adds the extras listed above and helps fund the next game. If you already own a pack for another TinyArcadia game, it is US$2.49. There is no subscription and nothing renews.

Delivery: the extras unlock in this browser a few seconds after the payment is confirmed. There is nothing to download and no account to create. You also get an unlock code: enter it on another device or browser to unlock the pack there too.

Payment: checkout runs on Waffo, our merchant of record (Waffo.com Limited), which sells the pack to you. Waffo processes your card and sends the receipt; the charge on your statement carries a name that starts with WAFFO. We never see your card details.

Refunds: within 14 days of buying, for any reason. See the refund policy or write to support@tinyarcadia.com.

FAQ

Is Pocket Quarry free to play?

Yes. The whole game is free in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download and no account. Every layer, tool and guardian is in the free game.

Does my crew keep mining when I close the game?

Yes. While you are away your crew earns gold at half speed for up to 8 hours. Digging down waits for you, so you never miss a layer or a guardian. When you come back, the game shows what the crew earned.

Where is my progress saved?

In this browser on this device. The game saves every few seconds and when you leave the page. Clearing your browser data or using a private window starts a new quarry.

How do I get to the next layer?

Every layer holds a set amount of rock. Once it is dug out, the guardian rises. Break it and you dive to the next layer, with a core sample that adds 25% to everything you earn for good. From the third layer on, guardians have a 45-second clock; if it runs out the guardian heals to half and you try again, with nothing lost.

Can I play with a keyboard?

Yes. Space hits the rock under the cursor, the arrow keys move the cursor, keys 1 to 6 buy crew, D gets the dynamite ready, P pauses and M turns the sound on or off.

What does the Supporter pack add?

Double gold. Every hit and your whole crew earn twice as much. Guardians and layers stay the same, so you still dig every layer yourself. Full-speed offline earnings.
