Common questions
How do I restore my purchases?
Open the Shop tab and tap Restore purchases at the bottom. Permanent upgrades and the starter pack come back on every device with the same Apple ID. Gems you already received stay in your saved game.
Is my progress saved on a new iPhone?
Yes, with iCloud backup turned on in the app (the gear at the top right) your saved game follows your Apple ID. You can also export it as a file and import it on another device.
Does my team keep digging while I’m away?
Every station with a foreman keeps working, up to the limit of your night watch (the moon at the top). When you come back, a report shows what came in.
What do the star and the lock in a station mean?
Both are milestones. The star shows the level of the next boost; the lock shows a tool that unlocks at that level and also boosts the station.
What are gems for?
Gems buy a time skip (four hours of admission at once) or bring an expedition back early. Main orders and tomb chambers sometimes give gems.
Are the masterpieces real?
Yes. Every masterpiece is a real find with find site and year from Wikipedia or Wikidata, described in our own words and drawn in our own pixel art. Write me if something is wrong.
Can I change my ad choices?
In the EU and the UK, open the gear at the top right or the Shop tab and tap Privacy settings for ads.
Which devices does Digstory run on?
iPhone with iOS 17 or later. It plays offline; only the optional video and purchases need a connection.
Still stuck? Write me.
Tell me what happened, where in the app, and which iPhone and iOS version you use.
