BarnFinders News

We've got some exciting news for you. Our latest update introduces a brand-new tool: the Quick Picker! But, of course, this is Barn Finders, so getting your hands on this nifty tool won't be that simple. Remember how you had to face off against the chicken team in basketball to snag those speed boots? Well, the chickens are back, and this time, they’re ready to play... baseball! 🥎🐓


[h2]The Challenge: Baseball Showdown with the Chickens![/h2]
To earn the Quick Picker, you'll need to step up to the plate and defeat our feathery friends in a high-stakes baseball match. Think you've got what it takes to outplay the chickens? You better hope so, because this tool is going to be a game-changer for all you dedicated junk hunters.


[h2]What is the Quick Picker?[/h2]
The Quick Picker is a specialized glove that allows you to pick up more than one resource at a time from the ground. It's going to make your scavenging trips way more efficient. But wait, there's more! The Quick Picker comes with three upgrade levels. Each upgrade increases the glove’s range, allowing you to scoop up resources from a wider area.

[h2]Why You Need It[/h2]
With the Quick Picker in your arsenal, you’ll be able to gather resources faster and repair those hidden gems in record time. That means more items on your pawnshop shelves and more cash in your pocket! 💰

[h2]Thank You, Barn Finders Community![/h2]
As always, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all our fans. Your support is the reason this game continues to grow and thrive. We hope you enjoy this latest update, and we can’t wait to see you challenge the chickens once more!
Happy hunting! 🕵️‍♂️

In this short devlog, we’d like to show both new and seasoned players a key gameplay element of Barn Finders: transforming your finds into profit. This process is central to the experience, and it consists of several important stages, each of which plays a crucial role in the game.
[h2]Key Stages of Turning Finds into Profit[/h2]
1. Finding the Items
The journey starts by discovering items across a variety of maps, often in the most unexpected places. You might stumble upon a treasure hidden in the depths of a pit or buried underground. Sometimes, reaching the coveted item requires solving simple puzzles to unlock secret areas, such as hidden caves brimming with valuable goods.
2. Cleaning and Restoration
Once you’ve secured your find, it’s not always ready for sale. Many items need a bit of TLC before they’re shop-worthy. Some will simply need a good cleaning, while others might require full restoration. This is where you’ll need to gather the right materials and resources to repair and bring your treasures back to life.
3. Selling and Negotiating
After cleaning or restoring your finds, it’s time to put them up for sale in your beautiful pawn shop. But the work doesn’t end here—negotiating with potential buyers is crucial to securing the best profit. Be prepared to haggle and make deals that benefit both you and your customers.


We’re currently working on a small update for Barn Finders, which we’ll be sharing more about soon. Additionally, be sure to check out Universum Gas Station on Steam as well, where you'll find other great titles—perhaps even at a nice discount!

Today, we’re diving into one of the most exciting aspects of Barn Finders—the auction mechanic and the intriguing variety of storage units you can discover.

[h2]Auction Mechanics: How It Works[/h2]
In Barn Finders, auctions are where the real action begins. You’ll compete against other bidders to win abandoned storage units that could hold untold treasures... or just a bunch of junk! The thrill of the auction lies in the mystery—you can only see a portion of what’s inside before making your bid.

But what makes these auctions even more exciting are the unique and themed storage units you’ll come across. Imagine walking into a storage unit filled with pirate-themed decor—could there be an ancient chest filled with gold?

Or perhaps you find yourself staring at what seems to be an empty unit, with just a few dusty boxes and an old ladder. Don’t be fooled; even the most unassuming spaces can hold the rarest items! Each unit is a gamble, and that’s what makes every auction a heart-pounding experience.

Best, The Barn Finders Team

We’re thrilled to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming free SuperHero map, launching on July 11, 2024! 🎉 This new map is filled with secrets, challenges, and a touch of heroic inspiration.


Our new SuperHero map is a tribute to the world of super heroes. The banner for this devlog gives a hint about our inspirations—think of powerful heroes from popular shows and comics. Without giving too much away, you'll definitely see elements reminiscent of iconic figures like a certain cape-wearing hero from the skies.

As always, Uncle Billy will be by your side, although this time he’s trading in his usual moonshine for a brand-new gadget.


You'll also have the chance to get your hands on some big machines—more than one this time, but you'll have to play to discover just how many.


One exciting new feature is the inclusion of pictures of our team members at Duality Games in a different way than before. Over time, our team has grown, and we wanted to introduce you to these new faces. You’ll find their images in a unique location on the map, adding a fresh twist to the Barn Finders universe.


In addition to the new faces, we’re adding a lot of artistic flair with new posters and a slew of new puzzles to solve. This map is not just large; it’s packed with fresh content and serves as a homage to everything Barn Finders stands for.

For those eager for more, join us on our Discord today for additional sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes content. We can’t wait for you to explore this new adventure on July 11, 2024.
See you soon, Barn Finders! 🚀🦸‍♂️
