Game summary
You walk around on an island digging up random bits of metal objects. Most of the time you'll find trash, but the most rewarding feeling is when you find treasure. These objects earn a varying number of points, depending on what the object comes out as, which you can use to buy skins or upgrades for your detector. Listen to calming music as you take in the island's unique scenery. What can you dig up?

Play Detector Island: A Metal Detecting Game on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Detector Island: A Metal Detecting Game on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
