Outmine: two minutes to get out alive

The clock is ticking, there is lava under your feet, a monster closing in, and a pocket full of gems that vanish unless you reach the exit. ⛏️ That is Outmine, a dungeon crawler from Rogues Studio that runs inside Telegram and ties its economy to the TON blockchain.

The studio calls it the first dungeon crawler on TON. It launched in early access and was entered in a TON hackathon for game projects.

One rule: get the loot out

Every run lasts two minutes. In that time you mine as many gems as you can, survive monsters and traps, and escape. Anything still on you when you die or the timer ends is gone.

• Random maps. Dungeons are procedurally generated, so memorizing routes will not help.
• Hazards. Lava lakes, monsters and dead ends.
• Power-ups. Scattered around the level, and using them well matters as much as speed.
• Rivals. Other players are in there chasing the same gems.

How gems work 💎

Entering a dungeon costs 100 gems. A dungeon stays open while it still has gems, and its value grows over time, so a good run can pay back far more than the entry fee.

You can buy in two ways. Regular players use Telegram's built-in payments, and crypto users can use NFTs and assets on TON. Gems were also released as NFTs holding 1,000 gems each.

Events and leaderboards

Beyond regular runs, Outmine hosts events with USDT prizes, such as the Daily Dungeon of Death. There are weekly and global leaderboards, and you can pick up extra gems by inviting friends and completing tasks.

The studio adjusts mechanics and prize sizes from time to time, so check the official channel for the current rules.

Your first runs

1. Launch the game with the Open button below.
2. Grab free gems from tasks and invites before spending money.
3. Leave early. In your first runs, exit with modest loot to learn the rhythm of a level.
4. Watch the timer and note where the exit is as soon as the run starts.

Straight talk about money

Outmine is gripping, and the entry fee plus prizes make each run feel like a bet. You can come out ahead, or lose everything you carried in. USDT prizes go to top leaderboard players, not to everyone.

Only buy gems with money you would spend on entertainment anyway. Never connect your wallet to sites from private messages, and never share your seed phrase. Then Outmine stays what it is meant to be: a fast, tense game for a couple of minutes. 🕹️
