Our take on iDigging
The treasure-hunting premise receives most of the attention, but the main loop also depends on covering holes, watching for inspections, and managing detection. The home-improvement element is tied to selling recovered items rather than presented as a separate building-focused system.
What is iDigging?
iDigging is a first-person cooperative game for up to 5 players about searching for underground resources while evading detection.
Players dig through soil and caves, recover items such as furniture, metals, jewels, and accessories, then sell finds to fund home improvements. Digging tools progress from shovels and pickaxes to drills and dynamite. A neighbor may watch the property and contact the police, while inspections can expose uncovered holes. Players can conceal excavation sites with carpets, use dogs and bombs for defense, and complete challenges in abandoned caves. The game combines treasure hunting, home improvement, stealth, and backyard competition in a bright, stylized setting.
