Mine Seeker

Mine Seeker is a free minesweeper game you can play online in your browser, with no download needed. You explore a sunny field with Kit, a cheerful cartoon explorer in a hard hat. Dig every safe cell: each number tells you how many hidden mines touch that cell. Every board can be solved by pure logic. Your first dig is always safe, and a built-in solver checks each board so you never face a coin-flip guess. Choose from four sizes, from a quick 9×9 Easy board with 10 mines to the 99-mine Expert field, or play the daily board that is the same for everyone. Long-press or flag mode works on phones, and right-click flags work on PC. Boards stand tall on phones held upright and wide on landscape screens, so it plays well on phones, tablets and computers. Mine Seeker is an original game made by the GamesYap team. For another calm logic puzzle, try [Lantern Sudoku](/game/lantern-sudoku). ## How to play - Tap or click a cell to dig. Your first dig is always safe and opens an area. - A number shows how many mines touch that cell in the eight cells around it. - Flag a mine with a long-press, the flag-mode button (F) or a right-click. - Tap a number whose mines are all flagged to dig all its other neighbours at once. - Stuck? A hint (H, 3 per board) shows a cell that is surely safe. - Dig every cell without a mine to clear the field. ## Features - Four sizes: Easy 9×9 (10 mines), Medium 12×16 (30), Hard 16×20 (60) and Expert 16×30 (99). - No-guess boards: every field can be solved by logic. - A daily Medium board, the same for everyone, with bonus coins once a day. - Best times for every size and up to three stars per board. - Hints that point at a cell logic proves safe. - Explorer ranks, plus flag markers and fields to unlock with coins. - Clear an Expert board to earn the Crystal Cave field. ## Tips - Start from the 1s. A 1 touching only one hidden cell means that cell is a mine. - Learn the 1-2-1 pattern along a wall: the mines sit under the two 1s, and the cell under the 2 is safe. - When a number already touches all its flagged mines, every other neighbour is safe. Use the number tap to open them quickly. - Work along the edge of the open area. That is where the numbers give you the most information. - Speed comes from patterns, not guessing. Since every board is fair, look again before you dig. ## FAQ ### Is Mine Seeker free to play? Yes. Mine Seeker is free to play in your web browser, with nothing to download or install. All four board sizes and the daily board are free. Coins only unlock flag markers and fields, which change the look. ### Can I play Mine Seeker on my phone? Yes. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you tap to dig and long-press, or use flag mode, to place a flag. Cells never get too small to tap, and big boards scroll with a drag. ### How do you play minesweeper? Dig cells one at a time. A number shows how many mines touch that cell. Use the numbers to work out where mines must be, flag them, and dig the safe cells. You win when every safe cell is open and lose if you dig a mine. ### Will I ever have to guess in Mine Seeker? No. Every board in Mine Seeker is checked by a solver, so it can be cleared by logic alone. Your first dig is always safe. If you think you must guess, look again for a pattern, or use a hint to show a safe cell. ### What do the numbers mean in minesweeper? Each number tells you how many mines are in the eight cells around it, including diagonals. A 1 means exactly one neighbour is a mine. A blank, opened cell has no mines nearby, which is why it opens its neighbours automatically.
