How much does Shipwreck Cove cost in Dig & Clean?

1.1 million cash, paid at the pirate NPC by the boat. It carries a 2x luck multiplier, and footage of the area on arrival also showed a 2x gold banner.

Is there a third island in Dig & Clean?

Not yet. Asking the pirate about the next island returns 'Ain't charted yet! Check back soon...' — so as of August 8, 2026 the second island is the end of the map. Any site listing a third island is describing something that does not exist in game.

Is Shipwreck Cove worth 1.1M in Dig & Clean?

Yes, and usually sooner than players think. The 2x luck multiplier applies to everything you dig from then on, so it compounds with every tool you already own. Experienced footage showed a player deliberately skipping further tool upgrades to buy the island instead.

What is the luck multiplier in Dig & Clean?

Each area carries a luck value shown on its travel card: Home Beach is 1x and Shipwreck Cove is 2x. Higher luck surfaces rarer dig spots, and because item value scales steeply with rarity, doubling luck is worth considerably more than it sounds.

Dig & Clean Islands: Unlock Costs, Luck Multipliers and What's Next

Two islands exist. The third is not released — the game says so out loud.

The areas

Island	Luck	Unlock cost
Home Beach	1×	starting area
Shipwreck Cove	2×	1,100,000 cash

Arriving at Shipwreck Cove, footage also showed 2× GOLD alongside the 2× luck banner — so the second island improves both what you find and what it sells for.

There is no third island yet

Ask the pirate NPC about the next island and he answers:

"Ain't charted yet! Check back soon..."

That is the game telling you the map ends here for now. If you find a wiki listing a third area with an unlock cost, it is describing content that does not exist as of August 8, 2026.

We'll add it here when it ships and we can see it on screen.

When to buy the island instead of a tool

This is the real decision the 1.1M price creates, because at that point you could instead buy a Black Shovel (1.1M) — the same money, exactly.

The case for the island:

Luck multiplies everything you already own. Your shovel, detector and spray all keep working; the island makes every dig they perform more likely to surface something rare.
Value scales steeply with rarity. Rarer finds are worth disproportionately more, so a luck multiplier compounds into cash faster than a linear tool step.
The 2× gold stacks on top, applying to the sale side as well.

The case for the shovel is narrower but real: if you are hitting "You need a stronger shovel to dig this!" regularly, luck doesn't help — you still can't extract what you find. Clear that gate first, then relocate.

Footage of an experienced player showed exactly that ordering: they bypassed further tool upgrades and went to the boat.

How travel works

Interact with the pirate NPC at the boat to open the travel menu. Once Shipwreck Cove is unlocked you can move between areas freely — it's a permanent unlock, not a per-trip fee.

Gear upgrades — the competing purchase
Item values — why luck compounds
Museum — where rare finds turn into income
