You know Minesweeper. You don't know this one. Hexasweeper hides twenty rule twists inside one hex grid: numbers that lie, mines that form a snake, numbers that measure how far a hexagon can see. Every board is built to be solved by logic alone. Never a guess. Classic teaches you the hex grid: six neighbours, three axes, numbers that mean something new. Then the rules start moving. 21 RULES, ONE GRID · Star: numbers see two hexes out, along all three axes · Liar: every number is off by exactly one · Snake: the mines form a single winding path · Eyesight: a number is how far the hexagon can see · Negation: marked mines count minus one · Parity: clues say even or odd, not how many · Echo: only the cells two steps away count · Wall, Partition, Dual, Outside, Triad, Triplet, Balance, Connected, Multiple, Sectors, Compass, Colour Census, Islands Each rule is a different way to think, and you learn it in a minute: a hands-on lesson has you find the provable mine before your first board, and the rule stays on screen while you play. Choose a rule and learn it step by step. NEVER A GUESS Every board, in every rule, is generated and checked so the information on screen is always enough. When you are stuck there is a deduction you have not seen yet, not a coin flip. WAYS TO PLAY · Campaign: 110 hand-tuned boards in 25 chambers that teach the rules one at a time · Today: one board a day, and the day picks the rule. Every rule, for everyone, with a streak to keep · Endless: pick a size, a density and a rule · Blitz: the same boards, against the clock Classic and Star are free. Unlock the remaining rules and premium campaign chapters with the optional All Rules one-time purchase. Optional timer, no ads, no subscription.
