Classic Minesweeper on iPhone and iPad. Ad-supported with a single banner — no full-screen ads ever interrupt your game. Just the timer, the board, and the global leaderboard. This is Minesweeper.org, clearing landmines since 1999, now built natively for iOS. Three classic difficulties, No-Guess mode for pure-logic puzzles, and the same global leaderboard players compete on at minesweeper.org. WHY PLAYERS LOVE IT • No subscription. No in-app purchases. No pay-to-win. No Interstitials! • No full-screen ads. We're ad-supported, but we never interrupt your game with interstitials. The banner stays at the bottom and your flow stays unbroken. • Three classic difficulties. Beginner (9×9, 10 mines), Intermediate (16×16, 40 mines), and Expert (16×30, 99 mines) — the same board sizes used in competitive Minesweeper worldwide. • No-Guess mode. Tired of losing to a 50/50 coin flip? No-Guess mode guarantees every board is solvable with pure logic. No guessing required. • New Game on Lose and New Game on Win with High Score Autosubmit. Play more games without ads interrupting or having to click restart. • Global leaderboard. Submit your time and compete worldwide — daily, by season, or all-time. Every score includes timer, 3BV, 3BV/s, and click efficiency. • Auto Light/Dark theme. Follows your iPhone or iPad system settings. • Universal app. Optimized for both iPhone and iPad. • Plays offline. Your local high scores keep working even without a connection. DEDICATED TO DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES Minesweeper.org is dedicated to Diana, Princess of Wales, and her work to ban landmines. In January 1997, her advocacy helped build the political momentum behind the Mine Ban Treaty, signed by 122 nations that December. The HALO Trust — the world's largest humanitarian mine-clearance organization — is still clearing minefields today. MORE AT MINESWEEPER.ORG This app is part of minesweeper.org. The site offers additional game modes — PvP, Tentaizu, Mosaic, Hexsweeper, Cylinder, and several 3D variants — all free to play in your browser.
