The Minesweeper you know, with a fresh feel. Flag the mines, chase a personal best or take a slower turn in Zen mode. Play offline, wherever your day takes you. Every number is a clue. Every flag is a decision. Choose Easy, Medium or Expert and clear the board with raised tiles, playful animations and satisfying sounds. FIND YOUR WAY TO PLAY - Classic: uncover the mines and improve your time. - Zen: change the pace and enjoy the board. - Daily Challenge: discover a new board every day. - Saved games: come back and pick up where you left off. UNDERSTAND YOUR NEXT MOVE Read the numbers, flag the mines and reveal the safe tiles. When you get stuck, explained hints help you follow the next deduction. Zoom and pan to explore larger boards. Some classic boards may require a guess. GIVE YOUR BEST TIME A FACE Pick a nickname and a character, then join the optional global leaderboard for your difficulty. Only your best time from Classic games won without hints is kept. Assisted games, Zen and Daily Challenge do not submit competitive times. The leaderboard requires internet access. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Follow your statistics, achievements and personal bests. Local player profiles keep progress on your device; they do not sync games across devices. A CLASSIC YOU CAN FEEL Enjoy a 3D-inspired interface made for iPhone and iPad. Adjust sound, vibration, motion, theme and language to make each session your own. JUST YOU AND THE BOARD This version includes optional rewarded videos for extra hints and frequency-capped interstitial ads between games. The first hint in every game remains free. No email or password is required to play. Viewing the leaderboard uses an anonymous session; publishing your nickname and score requires your consent. You can report names, hide players on your device and delete your global profile in the game. Open your first board. Your next personal best is waiting.
