50 Trillion Grains Of Sand

About the Game

You've got a spoon, a kiln, and 50 trillion grains of sand between you and a buried pyramid. Take a scoop. Watch the sides of the hole slide back in. Then haul what you've got to the kiln and start saving for a bigger tool.

Earn and Upgrade

The kiln pays you in scarabs for every load. Spend them at the workbench on tools that dig faster and carry more. As the pit gets deeper, build stairs or a lift to make the trip back up easier.

A trowel already feels like a big step up from a spoon. Wait until you get a snow shovel down there. Or grab Suction Sam and hoover sand straight off the slope.

Put the pit to work

Send out robot sweepers, set up bucket pulleys along the rim, and run an aerial ropeway from the pit floor to the kiln. The machines can keep hauling while you dig.

Unearth relics and wake the gods

There are relics buried in the sand. Collect them to earn rubies, then spend those rubies on gifts from five Egyptian gods.

Send a swarm of scarabs off with a load of sand, get a crew of spectral baboons passing buckets, or let Sobek's giant crocodile jaws take a bite out of the pit.

Uncover the pyramid

Bit by bit, the pyramid comes into view. Meanwhile, the kiln is turning all that sand into a glass diamond. Once it's ready, carry it inside the pyramid and see what it opens.
