Minesweeper you already know, on a board you have never seen: a hexagonal grid wrapped around a 3D sphere. Spin the globe, read the numbers, and clear every safe face. There are no edges to hide against and no corners to save you. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap to clear a face. Long-press to place a flag where you think a mine is. Your first clear is always safe. • Every face touches six neighbors, so numbers count up to six — cleaner deduction than squares. • Drag to spin, pinch to zoom. The board is a closed Goldberg sphere: five sizes from a quick 162 faces to a 2,252-face slog. • Undo a bad tap. Progress autosaves; close the app mid-game and pick it up where you left it. NINE LOOKS, ONE TAP AWAY Light and Dark for a clean read, then a set of mirrored materials rendered live: Stratosphere (a sky drifting across the shell), Mercury (smoked liquid metal with gilded flags), Ion Storm, Aurora, Galaxy, Gilded Ribbon, and Heat Lightning. Cleared faces open onto the material beneath. QUIET BY DESIGN • Entirely offline. No account, no ads, no analytics, nothing to accept. • A quiet bar — undo, new sphere, flag — and one settings sheet for theme, board size, warning style, drag inversion and effects. Nothing else on screen but the sphere. • Share card of your finished board. Free and complete. Just minesweeper, with better geometry.

About

Bee Sweeper

Sweep the honeycomb. Don't wake the bees. Bee Sweeper is a cozy twist on the classic Minesweeper. Instead of a minefield, you get a warm honeycomb full of sleeping bees. Tap to reveal a cell, long-press to place a flag, and let the numbers guide you: each one tells you how many bees are resting next door. One careless tap and... bzzz! You've been stung. Sting too often and the round is over. Clear the whole honeycomb untouched and enjoy that perfect, satisfying win. EASY TO LEARN A friendly tutorial teaches you everything in a minute. No timers, no pressure. Just you, the numbers, and the hive. HARD TO PUT DOWN Work your way through handcrafted levels and rising difficulties, from your first careful taps to expert-level sweeps. One more level turns into ten. You've been warned. MAKE IT YOURS Unlock sweet themes and play the way you like, in your language (English, Deutsch, Español, Українська). TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Flawless clears, longest win streak, fewest stings, perfect levels. Your statistics remember every triumph (and every "happy little accident"). A MOMENT OF CALM Every round comes with a drop of wisdom: little quotes about bees, patience, and life from great minds through the ages. Prefer zero interruptions? A single purchase removes all ads, forever. Whether you're a Minesweeper veteran or a curious newbee, the hive is waiting. Grab your flags and start sweeping. Just... quietly.
