You've been training for this game since 1995. MINESWEEPER ROYALE turns the classic into a live multiplayer showdown. The bevels, the red LED counters, the smiley โ€” it's all here. But now every safe tile multiplies your runโ€ฆ and the whole world is digging with you. WORLD RANKING โ€” 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 โ€” climb 10 tiers from Rookie to Legend of the Field. Who becomes the Minesweeper King? DIG OR BANK โ€” every reveal raises your multiplier at fair odds. Bank your run, or push one more tile. Hit a mine and it's all gone. SAME BOARD, 8 PLAYERS โ€” you can't see where rivals dig, only their runs climbing. The last players to bank split the Survivor Pool. THE DAILY โ€” one board, the whole world, one attempt. Share your result card, keep your streak. WEEKLY CHAMPIONSHIP โ€” 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 โ€” Bronze to Legend, weekly promotions. Trophies come from clean runs only โ€” rank can't be bought. PLAY WITH FRIENDS โ€” invite your crew, add them by player tag, send daily defuser gifts, fill the squad chest together, and talk in live chat. YOUR STATS โ€” games, win rate, best and average times, winning series โ€” tracked per difficulty, like the good old days. OFFLINE CLASSIC โ€” pure 1995 minesweeper, no internet needed. Best times per difficulty. DIG UP ARTIFACTS โ€” 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: both stake points, same board, no defusers, no boosters. Higher clean bank takes the pot. 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.
