## What is Minesweeper 99?

Sweep fast. Attack hard. Be the last sweeper standing! Race 48 or 98 CPU rivals across real minesweeper boards, take on a daily challenge, or enter VS BOSS and choose among three powerful stage bosses.

Minesweeper 99 turns classic minesweeper into a fast solo battle royale against CPU opponents. No account. No internet. Just you against the bots, playable fully offline.

Clear cells, dodge mines, and outsweep them all. Pick VS49 or VS99, choose your board size, and survive to the top. Want pure speed instead? Time Attack lets you chase clean clears and faster records across 3, 5, or 10 boards. Today’s Match rotates between VS49, VS99, Time Attack, and VS BOSS, giving you a fixed challenge for each day in a seven-day rotation and a seven-day stamp streak to complete.

In VS BOSS, face Blue Eye's timed bombs, Red Fat's high-pressure flag challenge, or Echo Bell's Dissonance. Track attempts, clears, best times, and achievement progress with Boss Mastery. Your skill loadouts are saved separately for VS, Time Attack, and VS BOSS, so each mode keeps the setup you built for it. HORDE SURVIVAL uses your VS skill loadout.

Achievements drive everything. Complete 103 challenges to unlock loadout slots, skins, and skills, then equip up to six skills before each match. Stack speed, defense, healing, flag-only clears, auto-flags, boss rewards, or pure attack, and build the setup that fits your style.
