Big Dig

Big Dig is a short incremental game about digging up relics so Mayor Dog can build his highway. The core loop centers on turning discoveries into money you invest back into your operation, letting you push further, faster, and bigger with each run.

As you uncover relics, you funnel income into upgrades that expand your reach. Build up your museum to earn funds for new tools that help you dig deeper, dig faster, dig bigger. Your progress matters in more than your pockets: Mayor Dog’s reelection depends on the results you deliver, and the stakes are high as you push against time and terrain to claim more valuable finds.

You’ll explore several environments to dig through, each offering fresh opportunities and new chances to improve your mining operation. Gather a capable crew to handle the workload, assign roles, and keep digging momentum as you uncover more relics and prepare them for display.

Upgrade your workforce by building out your crew, acquiring better equipment, and renovating your museum. Each upgrade compounds your profits and unlocks more powerful tools that enable deeper excavations, faster work cycles, and bigger harvests from every site you tackle. Strategic choices about which tools to pursue and how to deploy them shape your progression and the rate at which you advance.

Management is essential in Big Dig. Your museum is not just a storage space but a growing source of revenue and influence. Attract visitors, curate compelling displays, and show off everything you’ve found. A thriving museum increases attendance and income, supporting more ambitious digs and lusher exhibitions. Balance exhibition planning with ongoing excavation to maximize profits while expanding your collection.

The game blends quick, bite-sized actions with a long-term strategy feel, inviting you to experiment with upgrade paths and crew composition. It rewards careful planning, efficient workflow design, and a steady pace of exploration across multiple environments. Build a legacy by guiding the museum economy and your digging operation, all while paving the path for Mayor Dog’s highway project and showcasing your discoveries to the world.
