About the Game

Dumpster Divers is an online co-op scavenging game where rejected puppets turn trash into treasure. Dive into alleys and dumpsters with up to 4 friends, outsmart bumbling cops, and haul your loot back home to sell. Use scraps to craft helpful tools and climb the ranks of puppet society one dumpster at a time.

SCAVENGE

From alley dumpsters to high-class neighborhoods, every district has its own trash to discover. But the clock is ticking, once the garbage trucks roll in each morning, the loot is gone. Some items are valuable, others just stink, but all of it can be sold if you make it back home without getting busted by the cops.

EVADE THE COPS

The police don’t take kindly to puppets picking through leftovers. Expect silly but relentless pursuits with plenty of cartoon mayhem. Outsmart, outrun, or knock them out, just don’t get caught. 

RECYCLE SCRAPS

Turn scraps into ridiculous inventions that give you the edge. Build trampolines to reach new heights, cannons to launch yourself (or your friends), and other wild gadgets to haul in more loot, mess with cops, or just cause some chaos with friends.

CLIMB THE RANKS

Start at the bottom of puppet society and work your way up one dumpster at a time. Each home upgrade comes with its own vehicle, letting you drive around the city faster and haul even more loot on each dive.
