Mine a Mountain event
Mine a Mountain Admin Abuse: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Admin Abuse is one of the wilder recurring events in Mine a Mountain, the mining game from 10K Steps that has drawn more than 30 million visits and keeps a crowd of around about 15,000 players digging at any given moment. When it runs, the developers hand the server over to chaos: a radioactive storm rolls in, boulders and meteors rain down on the mountain, and crystals left out on your plot can pick up exclusive admin-only mutations you cannot get any other way.
It is not a one-off. Admin Abuse comes back on a rough cycle of every ~21 days, and it has run 4 times so far. Each return brings the storm back with fresh loot, so the goal of this page is simple: tell you when the next one lands and the times of day it usually goes live wherever you play.

How often Admin Abuse runs
Admin Abuse lands roughly every ~21 days, which puts the next expected return around Saturday, August 29 at 10 AM ET. That date is our best estimate based on the event’s usual rhythm; we confirm it here as soon as the developers post the exact start. The next time and the usual windows are shown on the card above.
When a run goes live, it opens across two start windows on back-to-back days rather than a single moment. The two slots exist so players in different parts of the world can all reach the storm at a reasonable local hour. In Eastern Time they fall on:
- Friday, 9:00 AM ET — 2:00 PM UK, 3:00 PM Central Europe, 6:30 PM India, 10:00 PM Japan, 11:00 PM eastern Australia.
- Saturday, 10:00 AM ET — 3:00 PM UK, 4:00 PM Central Europe, 7:30 PM India, 11:00 PM Japan, midnight (into Sunday) eastern Australia.
What happens during Admin Abuse
The centerpiece is a radioactive storm. Load your plot with your best crystals before it arrives, and when it hits, some of them can gain an exclusive admin mutation — the kind of rare upgrade the event describes as your “only chance” to grab. Alongside the storm, recent runs have thrown in extras such as:
- Boulders, meteors, and bombs launched at the mountain, opening up fresh material to mine.
- A temporary server-wide luck boost (a x25 multiplier on the most recent run) that stacks the odds in your favor while it lasts.
- Limited shop stock tied to the event — the last outing added a Radar Shop stocked with six new radars for tracking down loot buried inside the mountain.
Tips for catching it
Pick whichever of the two windows falls at a convenient hour for you — both deliver the same storm, so there is no advantage to catching the earlier one. Stock your plot with your strongest crystals before the storm arrives, since the mutation chance only applies to what is already out. If the timing does not work this cycle, there is no need to rush: the event returns on its regular cadence. Setting a reminder for the day before is the easiest way to be online when it starts.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
Mine a Mountain leans heavily on a steady drumbeat of content drops — recent additions include New Mountains and The Boulders Update, with a Next Week’s Update already flagged on the schedule. Admin Abuse sits apart from those routine updates as the game’s marquee limited-time spectacle: where the updates expand what you can mine, Admin Abuse is the recurring high-stakes storm that hands out gear you cannot earn anywhere else.
