## What is Trap Chess™?

Challenge friends instantly with a 6-character play code. Trap Chess™ blends quick mobile matches with the tension of hidden landmines, so every game feels fresh whether you play White, Black, or spectate.

• Start matches in seconds with shareable play codes.
• Adjust how many hidden landmines each side starts with; opponent mine locations stay secret during play and only reveal when the game ends.
• Get turn and game-end push notifications so you never miss a decisive move.
• Save and resume locally so your match survives interruptions.
• Review finished games to analyze moves, traps, and outcomes and sharpen your strategy.
