The Deep Descent Challenge

1. What the Deep Descent is

The Deep Descent is a free, optional arcade mode inside DiggaPets. You guide your mole down through 100 strata of alien soil, one stratum at a time. It costs nothing to enter and nothing to keep playing.

2. The prize

Reaching Stratum 100 earns a handcrafted plush of your own mole, made in your mole's colorway. It is a physical, one-of-a-kind trophy for a real achievement.

3. Founder's Season cap

The plush prize is part of the Founder's Season and is limited to the first 25 accounts to reach Stratum 100 with a validated run. We say this plainly up front: once 25 plushes are claimed, the season's prize pool is finished. Reaching Stratum 100 after that still earns every in-game honour, but not a plush. The game shows how many claims remain.

4. One plush per person

One plush per account and one plush per shipping address. Duplicate accounts or addresses are not eligible for a second plush.

5. Shipping

Plushes ship to New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Canada only at launch. We hope to expand this. Shipping is at our cost.

6. No purchase necessary

No purchase is necessary, and no purchase helps. The Deep Descent is free to play, and nothing sold in DiggaPets affects it in any way. Paid packs are cosmetics and decorations only.

7. Skill, not chance

The plush is a skill-based achievement. There is no random draw, no lottery, and no entry ballot. Every player who reaches Stratum 100 within the cap earns the prize by playing.

8. Eligibility

• You must be 13 or older to play DiggaPets (see the Terms of Service).
• Players under 18 need a parent or guardian's consent to claim the plush, and the shipping details must be provided by the guardian.
• You need an account so the claim can attach to your run and your mole's colorway.

9. Validation and review

Every claim is validated server-side: the full run is replayed and checked by our systems, and each claim is then manually reviewed before anything ships. This keeps the prize fair for the players who earned it honestly.

10. Fulfilment

Each plush is handcrafted, so approved claims are fulfilled within 8 weeks of approval. We will keep you posted by email along the way.

11. Fraud and tampering

Fraud, automation, exploiting bugs, or tampering with the game or its network traffic voids the claim and may lead to account action under the Terms of Service. If you find a bug, report it to us instead; that is the kind of digging we like.
