Clear the Avalanche Dig Rescue Save the Whole Village
Turn early digs into a full rescue: checklist every house, beat late ice, and finish the buried map.
The fantasy of Clear the Avalanche: Dig & Rescue is not infinite AFK grinding — it is to save the whole village. Official copy says your village progress is saved so you can continue later, solo or with up to three friends. This completion guide stitches codes, tools, houses, storms, and area unlocks into one end-to-end plan.
If you are brand new, start with Getting Started. If you are mid-map, keep Unlock New Areas and How to Rescue Houses nearby.
Completion mindset
Track houses like objectives:
- Soft-snow camp income online
- First houses freed and spokes cleaned
- Mid clusters unlocked
- Ice-heavy homes cleared with proper tools
- Final sweep for missed silhouettes
- Storm-safe routes covering every spoke
Do not measure success only in coins. A million coins with half the village buried is not a clear.
Phase 1 — Economy foundation
- Redeem every string on the Codes Hub (
AVALANCHEfor gems + coin rain as of November 2026). - Like the experience and join Studs Construction for +10% coins.
- Buy shovel dig power, then backpack capacity when walks dominate.
- Learn the sell loop from Earn Coins & Gems and Base Camp & Bonuses.
Skip cosmetics until dig power and capacity feel honest.
Phase 2 — First rescue ring
- Dig lateral trenches toward rooftop silhouettes.
- Free each house completely before chasing a distant maybe-outline.
- Memorize fire barrels on every spoke you open.
- Reinvest sells into the next dig-power or ice tool (Pickaxes & Tools).
Phase 3 — Expansion ring
- After each rescue, run the sixty-second scout from the unlock guide.
- Enter new zones empty-bagged and barrel-aware.
- When ice spikes, pause for shop upgrades instead of rage-digging.
- Keep one clean highway back to camp for storm retreats (Snowstorm Survival).
Phase 4 — Late village push
Late houses punish weak tools and bad trench shape. Checklist:
- Strongest affordable dig tool equipped
- Capacity high enough for long walls
- Co-op roles assigned if friends are on (Co-op Guide)
- Codes re-checked after
[UPD]patches (Updates) - No full backpack starts on the final spokes
Work house by house. Leaving three homes at 80% clear feels busy and finishes nothing.
Solo vs co-op completion
Solo: slower but controllable. Use coin rain aggressively, keep spokes short, and never dig through a full storm.
Co-op (up to 4): assign lead digger, runner, scout, and widen specialist. Push one cluster, finish it, then move. Shared progress means a disciplined team clears the map much faster than four random diggers.
Final sweep techniques
- Circle the map from camp spokes outward looking for leftover chimneys or wall lines.
- Re-clear roofs that still show snow caps — partial frees stall completion.
- Revisit early zones with late-game tools; leftover soft snow piles sometimes hide a last outline.
- Confirm barrels still exist on long routes after patches.
What to do after the village is saved
- Help friends on a fresh clear using the same role split.
- Recheck codes and update notes for new content drops.
- Optional: research automation on Scripts only after you understand the manual loop.
- Keep official links bookmarked on the Links Hub.
Mistakes that block completion
- Endless camp grinding with no house targets
- Ignoring ice tool upgrades on the final ring
- Storm deaths that erase positioning on long spokes
- Co-op without roles, four people on one tile
- Skipping the group coin bonus for the entire save file

Saving the village is a sequence of disciplined rescues, not one lucky dig. Build economy, free the first ring, unlock areas, upgrade for ice, then sweep until every house stands clear of the avalanche.
