Dig in Minecraft.
Rebuild in Real Life

French developers Endorah, alongside UNITED24, have recreated the famous Soledar salt mines in Minecraft. Introducing Minesalt: collect crystals, learn about the amazing underground world of Ukrainian Soledar, and help rebuild a school where 250 children studied before the full-scale war!

About Minesalt

The town of Soledar in Donetsk Oblast and its mines were the largest salt producers in Europe. However, with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Soledar became a fortress on the front line. After almost a year of battles, the town and its mines were occupied. 

Recreating the mines in Minesalt is an opportunity to tell the world about not only their history, but also the struggle for Ukraine's freedom. 

Your task is to go through the mines and collect all the salt crystals 
in the fastest time possible. On your way, you will meet famous Ukrainians and world celebrities who will tell you more about this amazing place.

About Minesalt’s characters

In the virtual mines of Soledar, you will be accompanied by UNITED24 ambassadors: Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine Paul Nurse, actor Misha Collins, boxer Oleksandr Usyk, astronaut Scott Kelly, footballer Oleksandr Zinchenko, actresses Katheryn Winnick and Ivanna Sakhno. And also Stepan, a real person who has been working at Artemsil for 10 years.

Play, meet the ambassadors, donate, and get your own character.

What are we fundraising for?

Minesalt's charitable goal is to raise funds to rebuild Velyka Kostromka School, which was destroyed by a russian missile on October 11, 2022. 

Because of the war, its pupils have had to grow up early, but they remain children and miss in-person education. They hope to see their school rebuilt. To make this wish come true, we need to raise another $1,150,000.

You will teleport to the entrance to the mine. During the game, you have to collect 140 salt crystals hidden in the depths of the virtual underworld. On the right side of the screen you will see your real-time score in the game. 

After you collect all the crystals, you will be given a 3 question quiz by the Big Crystal.

On the quick access bar at the bottom of the screen, you will see two elements that are responsible for different actions in the game. 

The first element is an hourglass that initiates the start of the speed race.
