The game is played by revealing squares of the grid by touching each square. If a square containing a mine is revealed, the player loses the game. If no mine is revealed, a digit is instead displayed in the square, indicating how many adjacent squares contains mines. If no mines are adjacent, the square becomes blank, and all adjacent squares will be recursively revealed. The player uses this information to deduce the contents of other squares, and may either safely reveal each square or mark the square as containing a mine. After clearing all the mines, colored pixel images would be revealed. Play simple mine game and collect pixel images. You would love it!

Minesweeper Royale

You've been training for this game since 1995. Online multiplayer minesweeper: race players worldwide on one daily board, or jump into a live 8-player room. MINESWEEPER ROYALE turns the classic into a live multiplayer showdown. The bevels, the red LED counters, the smiley — it's all here. But now every safe tile multiplies your run… and the whole world is digging with you. WORLD RANKING — one daily board, identical for every player on Earth. Clear it clean, post your time, and see exactly where you stand: today, all-time, and in your country. Server-timed, so nobody can fake a run. And on the WORLD LADDER every trophy you ever earn counts forever — climb 10 tiers from Rookie to Legend of the Field. Who becomes the Minesweeper King? DIG OR BANK — every reveal raises your multiplier. Bank your run, or push one more tile. Hit a mine and it's all gone. SAME BOARD, 8 PLAYERS — you can't see where rivals dig, only their runs climbing. The last players to bank split the Survivor Pool. THE DAILY — one board, the whole world, one attempt. Share your result card, keep your streak. WEEKLY CHAMPIONSHIP — three boards, Beginner to Expert, bottom three cut after each. Every table is archived forever: weekly podiums, a hall of fame, and medals worn next to your name in every lobby. Champions wear the crown. LEAGUES — Bronze to Legend, weekly promotions. Trophies come from clean runs only — rank can't be bought. PLAY WITH FRIENDS — invite your crew, add them by player tag, send daily defuser gifts, fill the squad chest together, and talk in live chat. YOUR STATS — games, win rate, best and average times, winning series — tracked per difficulty, like the good old days. OFFLINE CLASSIC — pure 1995 minesweeper, no internet needed. Best times per difficulty. DIG UP ARTIFACTS — treasures buried under the tiles. Every 8 weeks a SEASONAL DIG rotates in: fresh sets that only drop during their season, duplicates convert to shards, and completing the album earns an exclusive title and frame. Your museum is forever. THE WORKSHOP - spend your winnings on smiley flairs, name frames and titles that everyone at your table sees. Points buy expression, never power - and gems can never buy them. POINTS DUELS - challenge a friend head-to-head on the same board: no defusers, no boosters. The higher clean bank wins the duel and the points. No casino. No cash-outs. Just the purest push-your-luck puzzle ever made. Minesweeper Royale is free to play with optional in-app purchases.
