CLUSTER PLAYERS-WHERE-GAME · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-02-14

Mining and gem puzzle games

This cluster comprises puzzle-platformers and arcade digging games centered on collecting gems or gold while avoiding hazards, often with a maze or grid-based twist. Dated entries are sparse from 2013 to 2021 (single isolated months), then appear more regularly from early 2025 through mid-2026. Traction leaders, based on activity signal, are return-the-stones, KGoldrunner, and Wightwatch Keep, each showing 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
