About the Game

Relax while digging in Town Diggers — and loot valuable items while you’re at it.
Place the items you find on the shelves of your shop and sell them by bargaining with your customers.

Tired of digging yourself? Hire worker NPCs to excavate for you and deliver the found items directly to your shop’s storage, while you focus on running and growing your business.

Found illegal goods? Instead of selling them to the municipality for a miserable price, buy and sell them through underground auctions.

Your shop starts small, with just a few shelves and a sales desk. As you upgrade, unlock a second floor that offers a real working environment. Repair items, create fake goods, research market prices, and optimize your profits.

Fed up with paying protection money to the neighboring town’s mafia? Hire local tough guys to protect your shop — and if your numbers grow large enough, maybe you become the mafia. Win mafia wars and eliminate your rivals.

Ways to Acquire Items

1. Digging
Pay the municipality to rent a digging area for a limited time. Excavate the entire area before time runs out to collect all items. If digging gets boring, pay extra to hire workers.

2. Customer Sales
Customers don’t just come to buy from you — some want to sell their own items. Negotiate well and buy valuable goods for cheap.

3. Creating Fake Items
Purchase raw materials from other shops in town and produce fake items using the counterfeit machine. Be careful — if customers realize an item is fake, your shop’s reputation will drop.

4. Mystery Boxes
Buy mystery boxes from town shops. You never know — one might contain a very valuable item.

Ways to Make Money

  • Sell items to customers by negotiating prices.

  • Trade illegal goods through secret auctions.

  • Offer deals to people directly on the streets.

Shop Expansions

Purchase shop expansions to unlock more space, attract more customers, gain additional work areas, and increase your worker capacity.

Customer Traits

Each customer has unique traits that affect how they negotiate with you:

  • Greed

  • Knowledge

  • Patience
