Minesweeper Buddy is the classic game with one promise: you will never have to guess. Every board is checked by a solver before it reaches you, so every mine can be found by reasoning, and Bolty, your lightning-bolt buddy, reacts to every move. NEVER A GUESS • 5,000 boards, 1,000 at each of five sizes: 9×9 with 10 mines up to the classic 16×30 with 99. • Each level is graded by the techniques it needs, from simple counting to 1-2-1 patterns and case analysis. • Three lives: a wrong tap shows the mine and costs 30 seconds, and the game ends on the third. • Stuck? A hint shows the next safe move and names the technique behind it. A NEW BOARD EVERY DAY • The Daily Challenge is the same board for everyone, everywhere, ramping up from Easy on Monday to Master on Sunday. • Build a streak, and catch up on any day you missed from the calendar. • See how today compares with your personal best, your usual time and your trend at every level. PLAY WITH FRIENDS • Buddy Duel: race a friend live on the identical board and watch their progress. • Practice against Bolty Bot, even offline. • Send a "beat my time" challenge over Messages: no account, the board travels in the link. • Game Center leaderboards for every level, the daily and the week, plus 23 trophies. MADE WITH CARE • Tap to open, long-press to flag. • Time Attack mode when you want a sprint, and 3BV stats for the purists. • Board themes, dark mode, large text, VoiceOver and a full iPad layout. • Free to play, with occasional ads that never interrupt a board. One purchase removes them for good — in this game, or in every Buddy game at once with the Thunder Buddy Pass. • No account needed.
