Prospectour FAQ

Prospectour is a location-based idle-mining game where players claim virtual squares tied to real map locations and those squares produce gems.

The update adds Profile redeem codes, serves nugget ads in rounds of four with a 95-second pause, simplifies 18+ signup and fixes repeated pack purchases and buttons stuck after a background sign-out.

The Android build is in production with full rollout and review in progress. iOS is available through TestFlight open testing.

Developer-issued codes can award nuggets or land tokens. Enter one using the Redeem code row on Profile; a valid reward appears immediately in Profile stats and the top bar.

The verified September code is SEPT80 and expires on 30 September 2026. Prospectour shared it as a thank-you for patience during recent ad limitations. The announcement did not specify the exact reward.

The app now distinguishes an unknown code, an expired code and a code already used by your account. Each code works once per player. Check the official Prospectour Discord for developer-posted codes.

No. Redeem codes are developer promotions entered on Profile. Referral code PROS-AJK359 is part of the separate new-player referral flow and should not be assumed to work in the Redeem code field.

Nugget ads run in rounds of four followed by a 95-second pause shown by the Market countdown. The pause helps ad networks recover. Boost ads are not paced.

Not currently. Cash Out remains temporarily removed from the Market. The current Exchange screen describes gems, nuggets and land as game items with no cash value.

The Market Exchange converts 4 gems into 1 nugget. A slider lets you choose the amount. Exchanges are final, one-way and rates may change.

At the current early 700-nugget square price, one Land Credit costs 2,520 gems. That is 10% cheaper than exchanging 2,800 gems into 700 nuggets. It claims one square outright.

The seven-day ladder awards nuggets on days 1–5, one free square on day 6 and two free squares on day 7. A held square is automatically spent on your next claim before nuggets.

Early squares cost 700 nuggets. The price rises by 10 nuggets for each additional block of 1,000 owned squares.

Land produces gems. The Exchange introduced in version 1.2.0 lets you convert those gems into nuggets at 4:1 or spend them on a Land Credit.

Each square has a 24-hour tank. It stops producing when full until you collect.

Each boost ad provides 30 minutes at 2×. Up to 48 ads can cover 24 boosted hours, but the bank holds only 12 hours and must be filled in two sessions.

Divine is the rarest published tier at 0.1%, with a current base rate of 5.1384 gems per day.

No. Version 1.1.9 removed the planned lifetime-earnings taper, so the calculator keeps rewarded nugget ads at 8 nuggets each.

Yes at the currently published prices. The official web shop applies 10% off every nugget bundle and says this offer is not available inside the app.

Use PROS-AJK359 before starting. The supplied in-app terms say both players can receive 500 nuggets after the referred player completes 60 active days.

It maps claimed squares worldwide at their real locations, colours them by rarity, groups distant claims into count bubbles and includes a Yours filter.

No profit is guaranteed. Cash Out is temporarily unavailable and the current economy treats gems, nuggets and land as game items. Paid packs only accelerate in-game land acquisition.

No. A square is an in-game item and creates no ownership or rights over the real-world location.
