How to play Bomb sweep
A grid of grey squares hides a few bombs. Tap a square to reveal it. A blank square clears its neighbours automatically. Numbers tell you how many bombs touch that square. Right click or long press to flag a square you think hides a bomb. Reveal every safe square to win. Tap a bomb and the round ends.
Tips
- Open the corners first, you get more info per click
- When a number equals the flagged bombs around it, the rest is safe
- Use flags to keep track, do not rely on memory
- Restart fresh runs, do not bash your way out of bad guesses
About Bomb sweep
Minesweeper shipped with Microsoft Windows in 1990 and quietly burned hours of office workers time for thirty years. The rules go back to a 1960s teletype game called Cube, but the iconic grid with the smiley reset button is pure Windows. We built our own version with bigger taps for phones and a friendly first click rule: your first square is always safe. Pure logic, no luck, no surprise instant deaths.
