About Barn Finders
Barn Finders puts you in charge of a family pawnshop, sending you across 12 original locations in the fictional land of Ammeryka to hunt for hidden valuables. From clocks and musical instruments to vintage cars, each find can be cleaned, repaired, and sold for profit.
Beyond the barns, you can explore an old military base and even the moon, while managing shop inventory and keeping customers coming back. The game blends item hunting, restoration, and business simulation in a casual, indie‑style experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Item Hunting
Explore abandoned barns and other locations to locate a wide variety of objects, including antiques, gold, weaponry, and vehicles. Every item you discover has an assigned value, encouraging thorough searches.
The game features hundreds of distinct items, each offering a different potential payout when sold. Finding rare parts for exclusive cars or motorbikes can lead to especially large rewards.
- Take time to check every corner of a location; the value of items varies widely.
- Compare the rarity of similar items you find to prioritize higher‑value finds.
02 / THE GUIDE
Restoration & Repair
Collected items can be cleaned or repaired to improve their sale price. Damaged goods become more valuable after you restore them to better condition.
Repairing exclusive car and motorbike parts not only raises their worth but also allows you to rebuild whole vehicles for a big payout.
- Focus on items that are visibly damaged; they often have the biggest price increase after repair.
- Keep an eye on exclusive vehicle parts, as rebuilding them yields higher returns.

Shop Management
Your pawnshop’s inventory reflects the items you bring in; empty shelves mean less income. Maintaining a stocked shop attracts repeat customers.
Customers will return if they have something to come back for, so balancing sales and restocking is essential for steady profit.
- Regularly review your inventory to avoid empty shelves.
- Offer a mix of low‑ and high‑value items to keep a broad customer base.

Each new location introduces its own set of hidden treasures and stories, adding variety to the exploration experience.
- Try each location at least once to discover unique item types.
- Read the location’s story snippets for clues about valuable hidden objects.
