About Trash Goblin
Trash Goblin is a cosy shop‑keeping experience where you uncover, clean and upcycle trinkets for a parade of colourful customers. The game focuses on gentle, pressure‑free play; there are no fail states and you can progress at your own pace.
You can expand and personalise your workshop, buy new tools, and decorate the shop’s interior while completing quests and achievements. Hundreds of trinkets and four distinct locations provide endless variety without any timed input.
01 / THE GUIDE
Relaxed Gameplay Loop
Each day you discover dirty trinkets, scrub them clean with a sponge, and then decide how to present them for sale. Customers browse, request items, and you earn savings to purchase tools or décor. The loop repeats with a gentle daily limit, but there is no pressure to finish; you may continue polishing items whenever you like.
- Take breaks between cleaning sessions to enjoy the shop’s ambience.
- Use the soak tub to clean items overnight and free up daytime time.

Unearthing Peculiar Trinkets
You chip away at dirt and cruft to reveal knick‑knacks of all kinds, wrestling with different dirt types that behave uniquely. Each discovery adds a new item to your inventory for cleaning or upcycling. The variety is extensive, with hundreds of trinkets and thousands of possible combinations, encouraging continual exploration.
- Experiment with different dirt types to see varied yields.
- Keep an eye on the “Hugh” tool for material extraction.

- Mix and match trinkets to discover surprising new forms.
- Use colour swapping to match customer preferences.
