How to play

  1. Tap a square to dig it. The first tap is always safe and opens up an area.
  2. A number on a square tells how many mines touch it, in all 8 directions.
  3. Sure there is a mine? A long press (or right-click, or 🚩 mode) plants a flag on it.
  4. Tap a number that already has enough flags around it and all its other neighbors open.
  5. Open every square that has no mine and you win!

Tips from the champions

  • Start with 1s in the corners. That is where it is easiest to see where the mine is.
  • If a 1 has only one closed square next to it, that is the mine!
  • Not sure? Look for another spot where the answer is certain.

What does it train?

  • Logical thinking and deduction
  • Numbers and counting
  • Care and focus
