Play Mine Hunt

Dig the field, crack where the mines hide from the numbers, plant your flags. Race a friend on the same field.

How many players

Played by 1 or 2: solo against your high score, or online against another player.

Online: create a room and send the link to a friend, or get matched with a random opponent. If nobody shows up, we offer a clearly labeled computer opponent.

Goal: Open every safe square in the field without stepping on a mine.

Tap a square to dig it up. Your first tap is always safe and opens the area around it too.
A number tells you how many mines are in the 8 squares around it. Empty squares open their neighbours on their own.
Sure there's a mine somewhere? Long-press it (or switch on the Flag button up top and tap) to plant a flag.
Tap a number that already has the right count of flags around it and the rest of its neighbours open at once.
Open every safe square and the field is clear.

Best time mode: Easy 9x9 (10 mines), Medium 10x14 (22 mines), Hard 12x18 (44 mines). One mine ends the game. Your fastest time is saved on your device.
Race (vs the computer or online): you both get the same 10x14 field and the same starting point. First to clear it wins.
In a race you have 3 lives. Hit a mine and you lose a life and can't dig for 3 seconds (flags still work). Run out of lives and you lose.
A race lasts up to 5 minutes. When time runs out, whoever opened more squares wins; a tie is a draw.
The computer only sees the squares it opened; it doesn't know where the mines are. Easy plays slowly and guesses at random when stuck; Medium and Hard reason better and play faster.

Touch: Tap: dig. Long-press: flag. With the Flag button on, every tap plants a flag.
Keyboard: Arrow keys to move, Enter or Space to dig, F to flag. Right-click flags with a mouse.

Only the server knows where the mines are; your screen only gets the squares you opened.
You can't see your rival's field, just how much of it they've opened and how many lives they have left.
If you lose connection you have 60 seconds to come back, or your rival wins. Leaving the game also hands them the win.
A rematch needs both of you to ask for it, and it comes with a fresh field.

If a 1 in the corner and a 1 on the edge point at the same mine, the other squares around them are safe.
Rushing in a race gets you blown up: a 3-second freeze costs more than playing it safe.

Box Grab: Connect the dots. Close a box and you go again.
Penny by Penny: Swipe and merge matching pennies. Piggy bank to corner shop, corner shop to mega corp. Jam the board and it's shutters down.
Ember & Dew: A flame and a water drop, one team. Ember strolls through lava, Dew splashes through water; get them both home.
Four Stones: Line up four stones across, down or diagonally. First to four takes it.
Vanishing XOX: You only get 3 marks. Place a new one and your oldest vanishes.
Dolmuş: Drive a dolmuş, Istanbul’s shared minibus. Weave through traffic, grab passengers, and drop them off before someone yells "Getting off here!"
