## What is Idle Archaeologist?

DIG.  DISPLAY.  PROFIT.

Idle Archaeologist is a cozy idle game where you excavate famous sites across history, restore the artifacts you find, and display them in your own museum. The longer they sit on the plinth, the more gold they earn — even while your phone is in your pocket.

FEATURES
Tap to dig — uncover hundreds of artifacts across 5 historical eras
Restore at the workshop — clean, repair, and reassemble what you find
Build your museum — every artifact on a plinth earns idle gold, 24/7
Attract patrons — wealthy historians fund expeditions and tip big
Travel the world — Anatolia, the Nile Delta, the Andes, the Aegean coast and more
Prestige and dig deeper — unlock the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Classical, Medieval
Offline progression — your dig and museum keep earning while you're away
Cozy pacing — no timers screaming at you, no FOMO popups

FAIR FREE-TO-PLAY
- No ads in your first 10 minutes
- No paywalls

A LOVE LETTER TO HISTORY
Every artifact has a card in the Codex with a short historical note. Build your collection, fill the museum, and quietly become the world's most famous armchair archaeologist.
