Your field guide to Detective Lands.

Explore the map, build a Land collection and earn Detective Coins by playing. Start here, then follow the links to try each activity.

Start your investigation

Create an account in Player HQ, choose a permanent faction and nickname, then complete the short introduction. Your identity, DC wallet and Lands belong to the same player account. Completing these basics makes you eligible for the one-time welcome DC granted by the server.

Create an accountChoose your factionExplore the map

Keep an eye on your wallet in Player HQ. DC is the game currency used to buy Lands. The price and your balance are shown before you confirm a purchase.

Choose how to buy a Land

Open the map →

Tap Buy Land on the map to choose between a nearby parcel, a random Earth Land and a random Moon plot. Each purchase is confirmed by the game server and added to your collection.

Near you

100 DC

Allow precise location, then tap an available blue parcel around your real position. The server checks a fresh GPS fix and availability before charging DC.

Find nearby parcels →

Somewhere on Earth

110 DC

No GPS needed. The server picks an available parcel on land and reveals the country after purchase. You cannot choose its location.

Buy a random Earth Land →

On the Moon

110 DC

No GPS needed. Receive a unique virtual lunar plot at random and discover its coordinates after purchase.

Explore the Moon →

If your map pin is far from your real position, enable precise location for your device and browser, move outdoors and tap Retry GPS. Do not confirm a nearby purchase with a wrong pin. You can use either random option while GPS is unavailable.

These are virtual game Lands, not legal ownership of real property. The checkout displays the current price before you confirm.

Ways to earn DC

View your wallet →
  • Finish the daily case. Solve the investigation on Daily missions. The server awards the case reward when your answer is accepted.
  • Complete daily operations. Finish the four activities below, then claim the 10 DC bonus once that UTC day.
  • Play Arcade. Some verified wins award DC, subject to each game's daily limit. Check the game catalogue for what is playable now.
  • Complete CPX surveys. Rewards vary by offer. A paid completion must be confirmed by CPX before DC reaches your wallet; a screen-out or leaving a survey does not count as a paid completion. Open surveys →
  • Invite friends. Referral rewards arrive after verified activity, as explained below.

The DC Store shows its current availability. Card and PayPal DC checkout is still in development.

Your daily missions

See today's progress →

Daily progress resets at midnight UTC. Complete all four operations to claim 10 DC once per day:

  1. Complete 1 verified paid survey.
  2. Finish 5 Arcade rounds in eligible games. Wins and losses count; abandoned rounds do not.
  3. Solve today's case.
  4. Buy 1 Land on Earth or the Moon, nearby or random.

There is also a separate daily survey challenge: 5 verified paid surveys = 100 DC. Claim it on the daily page when complete. Survey availability varies by profile and region; only CPX-confirmed paid completions qualify. Reversed surveys can remove progress or offset later CPX rewards.

Invite friends and join contests

Get your invite link →

Share your personal invitation link from Player HQ. Your friend must attach your code during their first seven days, complete their player identity and then play. A code or a new account alone does not pay a reward.

300 DCfor your friend after their first qualified active day
500 DCfor you after their third qualified active day

A qualified day needs two different types of server-confirmed activity on the same UTC day, after the referral is attached: solve the daily case, complete a paid CPX survey, finish an eligible Arcade round, or buy an Earth or Moon Land. For example, a survey plus an Arcade round qualifies; two surveys or two Arcade rounds alone do not. Abandoned rounds, survey screen-outs, training and simply opening the web map do not count. Track each invitation's progress in Player HQ.

The referral contest is separate from these standard rewards. A referral scores in the round when your friend's third qualified day is verified. The first round opens October 16, 2026 UTC; invitations accepted earlier do not count in that opening round. Current dates, standings and prizes appear on the leaderboard. At least two verified referrals are required for a Top 3 prize, and final results are reviewed before payment.

Your chosen faction also has a weekly competition. It remains in pre-season until both teams have enough eligible players; Player HQ shows its current progress and rules.

Follow your collection

See the leaderboards →

Player HQ shows your Earth and Moon Lands, DC balance and RC reference balance. Both worlds use the same base RC rate.

RC per Land: at the current base rate, one active Land earns 0.000054432 RC per full 24 hours, or 0.00163296 RC over 30 uninterrupted days. An inactive Land earns 0 RC.

RC accrues for the time each Land is active, so individual wallet credits may be small and vary by settlement time. Eligible verified boosts and completed Collector collections can increase production. Visit your Earth or Moon Lands to renew their 180-day activity period. RC is a game reference value, and cash-out is unavailable.

Explore the Land Atlas by country or turn the Earth globe. The public Earth view shows country totals, not the exact location of someone's parcel. The Moon Atlas shows lunar plots. On the leaderboards, you can compare Land totals and follow the referral contest. For another collection to build, visit the Collector Shop.

For a GPS issue, try the steps in the map's location help. For a missing survey reward, check the survey status and remember that CPX must confirm the result. You can compare all wallet activity in Player HQ.
