Dig To The Core

About Dig To The Core: Explosive Digging to Earth's Center

Dig To The Core is a physics-based digging game with one audacious goal: reach the center of the Earth, 6,371 km below your feet. Every blast carves a real crater into the rock, and the deeper you go, the harder the Earth pushes back. The shaft darkens, the rock toughens, and the hazards multiply — but so does the treasure buried in the layers beneath you.

Digging deeper is also travelling back in time. Rotary phones from the 1920s give way to knights' helmets, Roman coins, Stone Age axes, and mammoth tusks. Keep going and you'll unearth T-Rex teeth, Jurassic ammonites, and 500-million-year-old trilobites, all the way down to the rock the Earth was born with. Real geological landmarks mark the journey: the Kola Superdeep Borehole, the Moho, and the Gutenberg boundary all lie on the path to the molten core.

A mining crew slides down after every blast to clear rubble and sell it, while the lamplighter strings up floodlights to keep the shaft lit. Hire more miners to earn cash faster, then spend it on bigger explosives — up to and including a nuke that opens a crater the size of a city. Dynamic music shifts with every layer, and progress saves automatically across desktop and mobile in both portrait and landscape.

How to Play Dig To The Core: Place Charges and Blast Deeper

Each round follows a simple rhythm: place your charges, trigger the blast, collect the rewards, and upgrade before the next round.

Placing and Blasting

• Tap the rock to place a charge. The circle preview shows exactly how large the resulting crater will be.
• Place all your charges first, then press BLAST — they detonate in a chain reaction.
• Position charges next to buried treasures to blow them free and collect them. Every crater and every treasure earns cash.

Upgrading in the Shop

• Open the SHOP to spend earned cash on a stronger charge, more charges per blast, a deeper drill, a stronger explosive type, or additional miners.
• Buy nukes for enormous craters. The Tsar Bomba is the largest available.
• Keep upgrading consistently — the rock grows harder with every zone, shrinking craters unless your explosives keep pace.

Controls

• Tap / Click rock: Place a charge at that position
• BLAST button: Detonate all placed charges in a chain
