Read the numbers, place the flags, clear the board.
You uncover squares. Every number tells you how many mines sit right next to it. From those hints you work out where it is safe — and where to place a flag. Three board sizes.
On a phone: a short tap uncovers, a long press flags. No right click needed.
All you need is a nickname and a password. There is nothing to buy, nothing to pay out and no advertising. Works in any browser and on your phone.
Play for freeThe first click usually opens a larger area. Work outwards from its edge: a 1 with exactly one covered neighbour means the mine is there. If a number already has that many flags around it, all other neighbours are safe.
Mines is one of four classics beside the five tycoon games. Points count towards your arcade level and the leaderboards.
Nothing. It is free and ad-free; you only need an arcade account.
Press and hold. A short tap uncovers instead.
Three: a small starter board, a medium one and a large one.
