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

Lace up your boots, read the wind and head into the wild. Tiny Hunter is a cozy outdoor adventure where you stalk wildlife, cast your line in quiet waters and build a hunting camp of your own. Explore beautiful low-poly hunting grounds from above, follow tracks through meadows and forests, and bring every catch home to camp. HUNT THE WILD Stalk red deer, wild boar, foxes, moose and even brown bears through Pinewood Reserve. Move slowly, keep the wind in your face and stay downwind so your scent doesn't give you away. When the moment comes, steady your breath and take a careful, ethical shot. READ THE WIND Wind direction, time of day and weather all change how animals behave. Watch the scent drift, use the wildlife guide and pick the right spot before you raise your rifle. Patience is your best piece of gear. CAST YOUR LINE Need a break from the hunt? Head down to the pier. Fish for perch, roach, trout, grayling, pike and arctic char in ponds, lakes, streams and rivers, with rods and lures for every kind of water. EXPLORE HUNTING GROUNDS Discover Pinewood Reserve, with copper meadows, old-growth forest, hidden ponds and lookout towers to climb. Then travel north to snowbound Frostvale to track reindeer, musk ox, arctic foxes and wolves through the snow. BUILD YOUR CAMP Haul your catches back to camp and grow it from a simple shelter into a real hunter's base: a smokehouse, a cold store, a trophy lodge, a game hanger and even a quad bike with a trailer to carry big game home. GEAR UP, HEAD OUT Earn coins and unlock new rifles, from the trusty sporting rifle to the precision rifle for long, patient shots. Pick up fishing rods, lures, deer calls, bait, medkits and a bigger backpack for longer trips. EVERY CATCH, A NEW STORY Every animal and fish you bring in gets its own card in your Field Album, with its weight, the distance of the shot, the weather and the spot where it happened. Hunt for rare, uncommon and legendary trophies and complete your collection.
