Minesweeper Online - Play the Classic Game Free in Your Browser

A section of the board is initially cleared for you. Numbers in squares indicate how many mines are adjacent. The goal is to locate all mines in the shortest time possible. Hitting a mine means game over. Click the smiley face to restart.

Desktop (Mouse): Right-click an unopened square to mark it with a flag. Right-click again to remove the flag. When the number of flags surrounding a numbered square matches the number, click it (either left or right-click) to reveal the adjacent safe area. Left-click an unmarked square to open it directly.

Mobile/Tablet (Touchscreen): Tap a square to mark it with a flag. Tap again to remove the flag. When the number of flags surrounding a numbered square matches the number, tap the number to reveal the adjacent safe area. Tap and hold a square to open it directly (this can be changed to a triple-tap in settings). Tapping can also be configured to open squares directly.

Minesweeper originated from the game "Cube" in 1973. Its inclusion in Microsoft Windows 3.1 in 1992 propelled it to global popularity. Playing Minesweeper can sharpen observation and deduction skills, while also cultivating patience and attention to detail.
