Mine Finder: how to play

Mine Finder is a logic game in the minesweeper tradition: uncover every square that doesn't hide a mine, using the numbers as clues.

Controls

Click or tap to uncover; right-click, long-press or flag mode to place a flag.

Rules

  • Each number shows how many mines are in the eight squares around it.
  • Flag the squares where you are sure there is a mine.
  • You win when every mine-free square is uncovered.
  • The first tap is never a mine.

Tips

  • A 1 with a single free square around it means the mine is right there.
  • Comparing two neighbouring numbers often reveals safe squares.
  • Use flags only when you are sure.
