Mines is a mining game on Roblox made by the verified Gold Rush Games group. You swing your pickaxe through layers of rock in the caves to dig up ores, rare treasures, and odd items, then sell your finds for cash. That cash goes toward stronger pickaxes, powerful radars that help you spot rare ores, and drills that let you dig much deeper and faster.
The clever part is the offline miners you can hire, who keep digging and earning for you even after you log off, plus the hidden passage in the center of the mine that opens once you find the rare Passage Key. This guide covers how to play, how ores and gear work, some handy tips, and a FAQ, plus links to the script and codes pages at the bottom.

How to Play Mines
- Mine ores. Swing your pickaxe at the rock walls to break them and collect ores, treasures, and items.
- Sell your finds. Take your ores back to sell them for cash you can spend on upgrades.
- Upgrade your pickaxe. Buy or craft stronger pickaxes so you can mine tougher rock, like the Lava Pickaxe for the Lava Layer.
- Unlock radars and drills. Grab a radar to spot rare ores and use drills to dig much faster.
- Hire offline miners. Spend cash on offline miners so you keep earning ores even when you are not playing.
- Find the Passage Key. Dig up this rare legendary ore to open Doorkeeper Dale’s passage in the center of the mine and reach the best ores and pickaxes.
Mines Gameplay and Strategy
The heart of Mines is a simple loop: mine ores, sell them for cash, and pour that cash into better gear so you can mine even more. Common and uncommon ores are your early income, and the smartest first goal is to sell enough of them to hire your first offline miners. Those miners keep working in the background, so your cash never fully stops, even when you step away.
Once your money is flowing, the real value is in rare ores, which often carry mutations that make them sell for far more. A Diamond Radar helps you find them, and your offline miners tend to turn them up too. Save up for the Lava Pickaxe so you can break into the Lava Layer, and hang onto Legendary Ores instead of selling them, since you will need them to craft the strongest pickaxes.
The big late-game goal is the Passage Key, a rare legendary ore that opens Doorkeeper Dale’s passage in the center of the mine and unlocks the best ores and pickaxes. From there, the top pickaxes like the Dragon are crafted at the Blacksmith for a huge pile of cash plus rare drops. Leaning on offline miners and drills for automation is what keeps that cash coming while you chase the rarest finds.
Tips for New Mines Players
- Grab the free Diamond Pickaxe by liking and favoriting Mines and joining the Gold Rush Games group. It is a big head start over the basic pickaxe.
- Hire offline miners as soon as you can afford them. They keep digging and earning cash for you while you are logged off.
- Use a radar to find rare ores. The mutations on rare ores sell for a lot more, so they are worth chasing.
- Save your Legendary Ores instead of selling them. You will need them to craft the strongest late-game pickaxes.
- Hunt for the Passage Key. It opens the center passage and gives you access to the best ores and gear in the game.
