## What is Niva?

Niva is a daily minesweeper puzzle, and every board can be solved by logic alone. You never have to guess, and the game works fully offline.

If you know classic Minesweeper, you already know the rules. Each number counts the mines that touch its tile, and you find the rest by deduction.

There is one new board a day, the same for everyone. Each tile you open shows a small part of that day's picture.

Tap a tile to dig, and hold it to plant a flag. When a number has all its mines flagged, tap it to open the tiles around it.

There are four difficulty levels, and each has its own daily board and streak. Easy is 6×6 with 6 mines, Medium is 9×9 with 10, and Hard is 13×13 with 30. Medium and Hard each need a deeper kind of reasoning than the level below.

Expert is the classic 30×16 board with 99 mines. You can pan and zoom it on a phone.

When you clear a board, its picture fills with color and goes into your collection. You can save a board and play it again later. The Play more button gives you an extra random board at the same level, outside your streak.

When you share a result, people see your time, your streak and the day's picture. They never see where the mines are.

Niva is a no-guess minesweeper: a solver checks every board before you play it. Careful reasoning is always enough, and you never lose a game to a coin flip.

Every tile has a screen reader label with its row, column and state. Text grows with your system text size, and animations follow the reduce motion setting. Niva has light and dark themes and is translated into 20 languages.

There are no ads and no in-app purchases. Niva needs no account. You pay once.

Niva is the Belarusian word for a field.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-10-07

Niva opens on a new launch screen. After an install or an iOS update, the first screen now prepares its graphics in the background. Sharing from an iPad no longer closes Niva. Some text reads more naturally in several languages.

### 1.5 — 2026-09-12

Niva keeps far less memory in hand. The board's artwork is handed back while the game sits in the background, so iOS is less likely to close it behind you.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-06

Small fixes and improvements. Thank you for playing.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-08

A long think on a Hard or Expert board can run minutes without a tap, and the screen would dim. Keep screen awake, new in Settings, holds it lit while you work. It is off unless you turn it on — a puzzle that quietly drains a battery is not one worth making.

Sharing a result now sends one link to the day's board instead of three. The store links moved to the QR on the picture card, out of the way.

Settings shows which version you are on.

Thank you for playing.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-29

Expert is here — the full 30×16 field, 99 mines. Pinch to zoom, drag to move around, and the moment you clear it the picture zooms out so you see the whole thing.

Tap a number once its mines are flagged and the rest of its neighbours open at once.

Leave a board half-solved and it will be waiting where you left it. Keep a field you liked and play it again whenever you want.

Sound no longer interrupts whatever you were listening to.

More accessible: clue numbers stay inside their disc at any text size, removing a kept field asks first, and the collection's controls are bigger and read properly with VoiceOver.

Thank you for playing.
