How to play
Use your mouse to click on tiles within the grid. Each uncovered tile reveals a number indicating how many hazards are in the immediate vicinity. Your objective is to clear all safe tiles without clicking on a hidden danger. If you suspect a tile is unsafe, use logic to isolate its position based on the surrounding numbers. The game ends if you accidentally trigger a hazard.
Tips for beginners
- Start with corners or edges to find safer opening points.
- Look for '1' indicators near isolated tiles to help confirm hazards.
- Avoid guessing; rely on the numerical data provided to make progress.
- Analyze clusters of numbers to narrow down the exact location of threats.
