Gold Miner is a kid-friendly remake of the classic Flash claw game. A claw swings like a pendulum above the mine, and you tap the screen, click, or press the space bar to drop it down the line it is pointing along. It grabs the first thing it touches and reels it back up - light treasure like diamonds zips straight up, while a heavy rock pulls slowly and eats into the clock. Reach each level's gold goal to dig deeper: 10 levels take you down through topsoil, stone and crystal caves to the Mega Nugget waiting in the vault, with up to 3 stars to earn on every level.
It rewards judgement and timing: reading the swing, picking the high-value gold and gems over slow, low-value rocks, and weighing whether a heavy grab is worth the seconds. Our version is gentle - no dynamite, no losing money, and failing a level never costs progress; you simply try that level again. Progress saves automatically, so the mine remembers how deep you dug between visits, and a calm mode swaps the timer for a fixed number of claw drops.
Gold Miner was built by a UK SEND tutor with QTS. It is calm, ad-free and uses no third-party tracking, and it plays in any browser on a tablet, laptop or classroom whiteboard - handy for 1:1 tutoring or screen-shared therapy sessions. It is one of our free games, so you can play it straight away with no sign-up.
