A Beanlings game
Your own mine. Your Beanlings keep digging.
Hack your way to your first gold nugget, build your own mine and send your Beanlings deeper, layer by layer. Ore, gems, rare finds: the mine keeps working while you are away.
You play right away in your browser. And when we are live, you control your mine by commenting on TikTok LIVE.
Please note: the game itself is currently in German. „Goldgrube“ means gold mine.

- No real money

What is Goldgrube?
Goldgrube is a calm building game with a mining feel: you start as a day labourer, build your own mine and let your Beanlings dig. What counts is time and a little planning. Upgrades take gold and build time, your Beanlings keep mining after you close the page, and the deeper you get, the more valuable the loads in your cart become.
All mines share one world. You can see the other players' mines, look inside, dig together in a guild or raid their cart if it is poorly guarded. Everything is calculated on the server so it stays fair for everyone.
How to play
1Hack
Without a mine you are a day labourer. Every swing earns gold, and while the page is open you also earn a small daily wage. After a few swings you find your first gold nugget. With 150 gold you build your own mine, which takes a minute or two.
2Your mine
Upgrade your mine up to level 40. Every level brings more output and more work places. Upgrades take gold and time and keep running while you are away.
- Pickaxe for deeper layers, cart for more gold per load
- Dig deeper and lunch break for half an hour of extra output
- Offline, your Beanlings keep digging for up to 8 hours
3Beanlings
Your Beanlings are your miners. Hire new ones, hatch eggs and merge identical ones into rarer ones. Mythical Beanlings cannot be bought, only merged or hatched.
4Levels of the mine
Mines sit in rings around the mining town. Ring 1 has twelve plots, and whoever builds there is a founder of the mine forever. Once ten mines are taken in the newest ring, the next one opens.
5Layers and rank
Twelve layers from soil deep into the rock, each with its own ore. Once you are deep enough, you can choose to start over and rise in mining rank: every rank gives you permanently more output and shorter build times, and your Beanlings stay.
6Smelter, jobs, collection
The smelter turns ore into bars, the workshop turns bars into jewellery. There are three new jobs every day, and your collection book records what you have found. Full pages give a small bonus.
Guards and raids
Gold that is not in your vault can be taken by another player. Guard dogs, mine guards and vault keepers make your mine safer. If you are raided, the loot rolls away in the raider's cart for ten minutes. During that time you can call your guards and, with some luck, get everything back. Afterwards you get one chance for revenge.
- New mines are protected for their first 24 hours.
- To raid, you need your own mine and at least one hour of play time.
- One raid every 15 minutes at most. After a raid, the mine has a 2-hour shield.
- Gold in the vault is safe. A raid takes at most 10 to 20 % of the unsecured stock and never more than 2 hours of output.
- Mines whose owners are away and whose vault is full cannot be raided.
- You can never lose mines, Beanlings or upgrades.
What happens in the mine
Gold vein
Two to four times a day a gold vein cracks open somewhere. For 15 minutes every swing there pays double, and the first players get a little more. If a LIVE is running, the next vein comes sooner.
Weekly race
In a guild you dig with 5 to 20 others. Every week the metres count: with several guilds, the one with the most wins, otherwise you race your own record. Members get an egg and tokens.
What is knocking down there?
A mystery in eight chapters. The more metres the whole mine digs together, the more notes open up in the mine journal. Sometimes there is knocking from the deep, and everyone uncovers a clue together.
Season finds
Each season lasts a month and is ranked in three leagues by mining rank. There are also a very few season finds such as the giant crystal: only while actively digging and only for confirmed accounts. Finders go on the roll of honour.
Play along on TikTok LIVE
When we are live on TikTok (@beanlings.com), Goldgrube runs in the stream. Just play along by commenting: your mine appears in the world and everyone sees you dig deeper. During a LIVE, upgrades build twice as fast. The commands are German words:
| Comment | What happens |
|---|---|
!graben | Dig along. Once a day this gives you the daily shift. |
!kauf mine | Build your own mine once you have 150 gold. !kauf ausbau, !kauf hacke and !kauf lore work the same way (upgrade, pickaxe, cart). |
!tiefer | Dig a bit deeper. |
!stand | Shows your gold and your mine. |
!mine Name | The camera flies to that player's mine and shows it in cross-section. |
!wache | Hire a guard dog. !wache wache and !wache tresor are stronger. |
!überfall Name | Raid that player's cart (same protection rules as in the browser). !rache strikes back. |
!rang | Shows your mining rank. |
!code | Links your TikTok name to your account on the website (see Account). |
L or R | Vote for a side in the mine duel. |
Likes fill the gold seam: when it is full, everyone on LIVE digs double for a while.
If you send a rose on LIVE, you get your own mine right away, and after that at most one upgrade per day up to level 5. Other gifts work for everyone: they light lanterns, start a miners' party or fireworks. It is a small thank-you, never a must.
You do not need a gift. With !graben you collect gold, with !kauf mine you build your mine, and you earn everything else the same way. Gifts never shorten build times and give no head start in the race or the season. Gifts cost real money on TikTok and are handled entirely by TikTok, under TikTok's rules.
Finds for Kickoff and other Beanlings games
Very rarely you hit something while digging that does not belong in the mine: a find for another Beanlings game. It goes into your treasure chamber (More, Schatzkammer), where you collect the code.
Kickoff
1,500 coins for Beanlings Kickoff, the football manager.
Konterjagd
30 beans for Konterjagd.
Booster
The promo card „Sternenfunke“ for Beanlings Booster, once per account.
- Confirmed accounts only: password set, or linked with TikTok, Discord or your Beanlings account. Guests find nothing.
- Your account is at least 3 days old, you have played for at least 60 minutes and own a mine.
- Only your active time counts, not your gold. On average there is about one find per four hours of active play, at most one a day and five a week.
- Each code works once and for 30 days. You redeem it in the other game with your account there; that game's rules apply.
Finds are pure luck with no entitlement. Goldgrube gives no output bonuses to other games and takes none from them.

FAQ
Does Goldgrube cost anything?
No. Goldgrube is free. There is nothing to buy with real money in the game, no shortcuts and no loot boxes.
Do I need TikTok?
No. You play entirely in your browser. TikTok LIVE is an extra way to join in when we are live.
Do I have to send gifts on LIVE?
No. Gifts are voluntary. With !graben and !kauf mine you get your own mine without any gift, and gifts never shorten build times.
What happens when I am not playing?
Your Beanlings keep digging for up to 8 hours, and upgrades and the smelter keep running. After that the mine waits for you. A guest account with no password and no link is deleted after 30 days without a visit.
How old do I have to be?
16 or older. Younger players need their parents' permission. Other Beanlings games where you redeem codes have their own age limits.
Can I lose everything in a raid?
No. Only unsecured gold can be taken, at most 2 hours of output. Mines, Beanlings and upgrades always stay yours, and gold in the vault is safe.
Is the game in English?
Not yet. The game and the LIVE are in German for now. This page explains how everything works.
Does it run on my phone?
Yes, in any current browser on phone, tablet and computer. Under More you can add it to your home screen. The graphics adjust to your device automatically.
