Dip your pan into the stream. Shake it. Watch the sand slide away — and there it is: that first golden glint. Gold Rush is a hands-on gold panning simulator: rich water sounds, sand and gravel that shift under your fingers, and haptics tuned so every nugget feels like it lands in your palm. And every bag you earn is a blind box. A heavy nugget? A rare mineral? An old pocket watch? Only one way to find out. WHAT'S IN THE PAN • TRUE-TO-LIFE PANNING — sand and gravel react to your fingers. Tilt, swirl and shake like a real prospector by a mountain stream • ASMR TO THE LAST GRAIN — layered sounds of water, gravel and gold, in sync with every move you make. Headphones recommended • EVERY BAG IS A BLIND BOX — crack bags open to reveal gold nuggets, minerals, old watches and secret finds • BUILD YOUR COLLECTION — fill the album, hunt the rare pieces, and enjoy that last-missing-piece moment • FAIR ODDS, ON SCREEN — drop chances are shown up front, and a built-in pity system means rare finds are never endless bad luck • PLAYS OFFLINE — the pan, your bags and your collection work with no connection at all. Only the Artel crew, the finds feed and tournaments need internet NO FORCED ADS. EVER. No ads between pans. No ads interrupting your calm. The only videos are the bonus ones you choose to watch for extra bags. A quiet 19th-century world of creeks, campfires and pans — made for slow evenings and satisfying little wins. Pan for a minute or lose yourself for an hour: the stream doesn't rush anyone. Grab your pan — the gold won't wash itself. Questions or ideas? We read everything: support@goldrushasmr.com
