The Detectorist Guild Coming Early 2027

Hello Treasure Hunters!

Are you ready to get your hands dirty?

In The Detectorist Guild you’ll play as James, a budding detectorist with a knack for finding things other people have lost. Armed with his trusty metal detector, you’ll help the locals recover missing belongings, discover forgotten artefacts and slowly piece together a mystery hidden deep within the village’s past.

Set in Yorkshire at the turn of the millennium, The Detectorist Guild invites you to slow down, explore the countryside and uncover the secrets buried beneath the peaceful village of Shiverly.

The Detectorist Guild features accurately simulated metal detecting mechanics, including adjustable frequency, ground balance, and sensitivity controls, providing an authentic experience for both aspiring and veteran detectorists. As James unearths history, you can choose to donate relics to the local museum to learn more about the village’s past, or sell their antiques for a profit at the village emporium.

About The Detectorist Guild

Welcome to Shiverly, a peaceful English village in Yorkshire, at the turn of the millennium, where rolling fields, friendly locals and buried secrets await.

In The Detectorist Guild, you join James who is free to roam the town and surrounding countryside locations with his trusty metal detector, searching for artefacts that reveal the stories of the past. Villagers often misplace their prized belongings and it is up to James to track them down, return what is lost and earn their trust.

But beneath the cosy surface lies something more. As James digs deeper into the village’s history, a dark mystery begins to emerge, drawing him and his family into a tale that connects past and present.

Donate historical discoveries to the local museum and learn their origins. Sell 20th Century antiques to the local Emporium and use the money to upgrade equipment to reach new depths and uncover more valuable treasures. Every field, footpath and forgotten corner could hide your next great discovery.

Relax, explore and collect at your own pace in a low-pressure RPG experience that celebrates curiosity, history and the quiet thrill of the find.
