About Minesweeper

Minesweeper is a classic logic puzzle played on a grid of clickable tiles with hidden mines scattered throughout the board. The objective is to clear every safe tile without detonating a mine, using the numbers revealed on each field as clues to how many mines sit in the neighbouring cells. Simple to learn and endlessly replayable, it has been a staple of personal computers for decades.
