Explore a colorful crystal mine with Barnaby the canary. Read the numbers, flag bombs and find every gem on a native 3D board. 120 STAGES, ONE DISCOVERY AT A TIME Start with a few bombs and learn as the challenge grows. Every campaign stage starts covered, and your first dig is safe. Empty regions open together, just like classic Minesweeper. Each number counts bombs in the eight neighboring tiles, including diagonals. YOUR PROGRESS STAYS WITH YOU Every completed stage saves your progress. Hit a bomb? Retry that stage while your earlier wins remain complete. You have 20 digging moves per campaign stage; thinking and placing flags use no moves. LEARN BY PLAYING A guided first game teaches digging, numbers and flags. Free deduction hints explain visible clues. Raised tiles, deep excavations and distinct victory and defeat screens make the board easy to follow. BUILD YOUR MINE Earn gold from completed campaign stages, restore Jade Hollow and collect 24 treasures. Aim for mastery stars by completing stages without assistance. PLAY TOGETHER Try an official daily challenge or create a private friend duel. Both players receive the same three-floor expedition, and the server confirms the results. Share your invitation when you choose. Online play creates an anonymous profile without a name or email; you can delete it in Settings. The campaign works offline and saves on your device. Includes English and Portuguese, sound and haptic controls, and reduced motion. No ads, in-app purchases or real-money gambling. Gems and gold have no cash value.
