Chests & Lake Collectibles

Drain the Lake chest mechanics: Gem rewards, multiplayer rules, badge milestones, and best farming checkpoints.

Chests Are Gem Sources

While draining the lake you discover chests that grant Gems (Diamonds). Each player can open chests independently in multiplayer — no steal mechanics. Chests fuel bucket purchases in the lobby.

Where to Find Chests

Chests appear as you drain water, especially on side paths in Lost City and throughout checkpoint zones. Revisit partially drained areas after upgrading scoop range with better buckets.

Chest Badges

Lucky Find — 10 chests (40 Gems). Sunken Riches — 100 chests (110 Gems). Bottomless Treasure — 1,000 chests (140 Gems). Track progress at the Badges station.

Farming Strategy

Dedicate runs to chest routes when saving for Magnet (1,200 Gems) or Golden (2,000 Gems). Combine with Gem guide for computer Diamond upgrade tree after Jackpot unlock.

Chests vs Phone Rush

Speed runners skip optional chest detours. Completionists farm Lost City branches before Abyss. Balance based on your bucket goals.
