The first day: 19th Century Pioneers Ivan & Heather at Play

First Pioneers Just Took on the frontier, in person

Four Pioneers played, learned … then tested their survival & prospecting skills in their search for buried gold worth real money. How did they fare?

EDDIE found and extracted $310 in gold

IVAN found and extracted $59 in gold

KEITH found and extracted $58 in gold

HEATHER found and extracted $57 in gold

… not bad during a 1.5hour play session. Shout out to KEITH for exploring his digital landscape and finding the hand-cannon by a shipwreck (and coming up with a ton of player-friendly ideas - thank you Keith!). That was some extreme Pioneering grit to survive the frozen tundras of the North.

Eddie was the top Prospecting Pioneer on November 3, 2025 with a $310 haul of gold.

Check here on the status of our Week-long In-person play LEADERBOARD TOURNAMENT based on Experience Points (XP) earned in-game. Updated daily thru Friday, November 7, 2025.

Saddle Up Now

Tell your fellow pioneers — the trail grows crowded, and the wind’s shifting. Several thousand Pioneers have already saddled up, chasing the glint of gold before the first storm breaks. When the time comes to open the trail, you’ll hear it clear across the frontier, louder than a grizzly’s roar in the dead of night.
The frontier opens soon…
