What this game offers

Use number clues to open safe cells, build a crossing, defuse mines or complete a map.

You may enjoy it if…

You enjoy justifying a cell choice using surrounding clues.

Start with Clear Ground.

What to keep in mind

Placing a flag and opening a cell are different actions. Defuse mode requires confirming the marked mines.

Pace: Survey mode has no countdown; the other three modes have a timer.

An example decision

If a 1 clue has just one neighbor still hidden, that cell must contain its mine. Flag it before opening others and cross-check nearby clues.

How to play

Clear safe ground, find a way out, defuse mines or build a map that matches the clues. Four ways to look at numbers differently.

Open safe cells. A number shows how many mines are in its eight neighboring cells.

Compare neighboring clues before marking a mine. A flag records your deduction; it does not confirm that the cell is dangerous.
