Enter the world of minesweeping challenges. Solve games from Easy to Expert using your powers of deduction. But be careful—exploding mines await the unwary! Minesweeper Mobile takes the classic puzzle game and reimagines it for your iPhone, iPad and Mac. Every game looks great and plays fast. And with its solvable games feature you can complete all challenges without guesswork. How to Play The game starts with a grid of cells. To win you must uncover cells on the game board while avoiding mines. Numbers in the cells provide a guide to where mines are located. To play — place flags on cells where you know there are mines and clear cells where there are no mines present. Winnable Games In the classic version of Minesweeper some games were not solvable without guessing. It could be frustrating indeed to nearly complete a game, make a final guess and lose it all. And so Minesweeper Mobile has a solvable mode to ensure that the game is decided by your deductive skills rather than by chance.
