Google Minesweeper is a legendary puzzle game that challenges your logic and deduction skills. Carefully analyze clues to reveal safe tiles, and use flags to mark suspected mines.
How to Play and Control Minesweeper
Start the Game
- You begin with a grid of hidden squares.
- The first move is always safe and won’t trigger a mine.
Reveal Squares
- Tap or left-click to uncover a square.
- An empty square shows either nothing (no adjacent mines) or a number indicating how many mines are next to it.
Use Clues Wisely
Numbers represent adjacent mines. For example, “2” means two mines are next to that tile. Use these hints to find safe spots and avoid explosions.
Flag Potential Mines
- Right-click (or long-press on mobile) to place a flag on a square you think contains a mine.
- Flags help you track dangerous areas while you clear the rest of the board.
Win the Game
You win by revealing all non-mine squares. Use logic, not luck, to beat the board!
