Real panning, made relaxing

Six steps, the way prospectors do it

Every pan follows real placer panning technique. Hold and drag to work the pan, and a gentle pace gauge shows when your swirling is just right. Mistakes only slow you down, but rush the water steps and the creek takes a speck or two.

Step 1, Classify: a screen sieve over the pan with rocks on top

1 · Classify

Sift the paydirt through a screen and toss out the big rocks. Is that one shiny?

Step 3, Stratify: a side view of the pan with labelled layers of gravel, black sand and gold

2–3 · Break up & Stratify

Knead the clay lumps apart, then shake the pan level under water until the gold sinks to the bottom.

Step 4, Wash off: a pointing hand shows how to shake the pan side to side

4–5 · Wash off & Fan out

Swirl the light gravel over the rim, then fan the black sand with gentle circles. The gold lags behind at the tail.

The result card: grams of gold this pan and a One more pan button

6 · Snuff it up

Suck each speck of colour into your vial with a snuffer bottle. Flakes, pickers and the odd nugget add up.

The camp

Morning, dusk and night at the creek

Between pans, sit back and watch the water. On Steam the camp moves from a bright morning to a warm dusk to a starry night with northern lights and fireflies, or pick your favourite with the pocket watch. On phones it's always night.

The camp in the morning: blue sky, green mountains and a cold fire pit
Morning · birdsong and a cold fire pit
The campfire at dusk under a warm pink sky
Dusk · the fire is lit
The campfire at night with fireflies and the northern lights
Night · aurora and fireflies

Questions?

One More Pan is made by one person. Write to info@appdrop.io and you'll hear back from the developer.

Where is my progress saved?

On your device. On Steam it also syncs through Steam Cloud. Deleting the game on a phone deletes its progress, so keep it installed if you want to keep your vial.

I bought the camp unlock on my phone. How do I get it back on a new phone?

Sign in with the same Apple or Google account, open Settings in the game (the backpack) and tap Restore purchases.

I have a code. Where do I enter it?

In the game, open Settings and tap Redeem a code. It opens the App Store or Google Play with the code ready to redeem.

The pan keeps losing gold. What am I doing wrong?

Going too fast in the water steps. Keep the needle on the pace gauge in the green, and the gold stays in the pan.

Can I help test the game?

Yes, thank you! Send an email with the Gmail address on your Android phone and you'll get an invite to the beta.
