About the game
Minesweeper in neon: open cells, count mines by the numbers and mark the dangerous spots with flags.
How to play
- A number shows how many mines surround the cell.
- Flag the mines and open everything else.
- Your first cell is always safe. Open a mine and the game is over.

Mine Sweep is the logic classic on a 9×9 field. Mines are hidden under some of the cells, and every opened cell shows how many mines touch it.
Your first cell is always safe and usually opens a whole area. The first level hides 10 mines; each new level adds two more. Opening a mine ends the game, clearing every safe cell takes you to the next level.
Tips
- Look for a "1" that touches only one closed cell — that cell is certainly a mine.
- When the number of flags around a digit equals the digit, all its other neighbours are safe.
- On a touch screen switch on flag mode before a series of marks instead of long-pressing each cell.
Questions and answers
How do I place a flag on a phone?
Hold the cell for a moment or turn on flag mode with the button under the field.
Is guessing ever unavoidable?
Sometimes, yes. Unlike sudoku, a minesweeper field can leave two equally likely cells at the end.
