How to play

  1. In the lobby, pick a level under 'Solo' (Easy, Normal, Hard) and press 'Start practice' to play the AI. Press 'Find opponent' to face a person.
  2. The starting area is already open. Numbers count the mines in the 8 surrounding cells. Read them and click (tap) safe cells to open them.
  3. Right-click (or hold) a sure mine to flag it. Click a number whose surrounding flags already match it to open the rest at once.
  4. Hitting a mine freezes you for a few seconds, longer each time. Leave uncertain cells for later.
  5. Opening cells charges Smoke. Firing it briefly hides the numbers your opponent has opened. Scan briefly shows mines around a chosen cell, twice per round.

Good to know

  • Opening sure cells fast beats spending time on flags. A 0 opens a wide area in a chain.
  • Scan and Give up still work while you are frozen by a mine.
  • A practice round is saved when you leave; next time you can continue it.
  • "Today's minefield" is one shared board per day; opened cells and time left are recorded.
