What is Mine Sweeper?

Mine Sweeper is the iconic logic puzzle game where you must uncover all safe cells on a grid without triggering any hidden mines. Use numbered clues that indicate how many mines surround each cell to deduce safe cells and flag dangerous ones. With careful logic and deduction, clear the entire minefield to win. A classic brain-teaser that has challenged millions for decades.

The timeless logic puzzle returns with a clean, modern design! Mine Sweeper challenges you to use pure deduction to navigate a minefield. Each revealed number tells you exactly how many mines surround that cell — use this information to logically determine which cells are safe. Flag suspected mines, reveal safe cells, and clear the entire board. With multiple grid sizes and mine densities, there's always a new challenge waiting.
