Frequently asked questions

Prospectour FAQ

Clear answers based on the official economy page and current in-app screens, without pretending future payouts are guaranteed.

What is Prospectour?

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

How much does a Prospectour square cost?

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

Do squares produce nuggets?

No. Land produces gems. Nuggets come from rewarded ads, referrals or paid packs.

How long do squares keep mining?

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

How does the 2× boost work?

Each boost ad provides 30 minutes at 2×. Twenty-four ads cover 12 hours, producing a maximum whole-day factor of 1.5×.

What is the rarest land?

Divine is the rarest published tier at 0.1%, with a base rate of 1.7128 gems per day.

Can I cash out Prospectour gems?

Not currently. The game shows a 5,000-gem minimum and a future redemption rail, but payouts are labelled as coming soon and are not guaranteed.

What is the referral code?

Our referral code is PROS-AJK359. The current app screen says both players can receive 500 nuggets after the referred player completes 60 active days.

Is buying nuggets profitable?

There is no guaranteed profit. Purchases accelerate land acquisition, but cash-out is disabled and theoretical payback is long at the published production rates.

Is Prospectour real land?

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