Minefield Watch

Explore three compact minefields with a safe first reveal and its surrounding cells. Read adjacent-mine numbers, flag suspected hazards and uncover every safe square. Choose 6×6, 7×7 or 8×8 boards through the stage selector. No timer rushes your decisions; the current field stays in this browser for later.

How to play

  1. Choose one of three stages: 6×6 with 6 mines, 7×7 with 9 mines, or 8×8 with 12 mines.
  2. The first revealed cell and all its neighbors are safe. A number counts mines in the eight surrounding cells. Empty regions open automatically.
  3. Reveal all safe cells to win. Opening a mine ends the round. Flags are reminders and prevent opening a marked cell; their positions alone do not win.

Rules and strategy guide ↗

Make your move

  • Select a cell with touch, mouse or arrow keys, then tap the same cell again or press Confirm, Enter or Space.
  • Switch between Reveal and Flag with the mode button. Pause stops input; Restart resets this minefield.

A small head start

  • Use a completed number to rule out neighboring cells.
  • Count flagged neighbors before deciding whether another covered cell is safe.
  • Some fields may require a guess; first-click safety is not a guarantee of a logic-only solution.
