Classic Minesweeper with a competitive edge. Clear the board, beat your best time and see where you stand worldwide. Every verified win can now earn its own leaderboard row — even if you already have a faster time.

Compare times across countries and platforms in the global rankings: every cleared board can move you closer to the top. Ads never interrupt gameplay or affect your result. Watching a video ad may be offered in selected service features outside a match, such as additional leaderboard refreshes or profile changes.
