How to Play SwipeMine
Your guide to becoming a master minesweeper.
Objective
The goal is to uncover all the safe tiles on the grid without detonating any mines. The numbers on the tiles indicate how many mines are directly adjacent (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).
Controls
- Reveal Tile: Click or tap a tile to reveal it. If you reveal a mine, the game is over!
- Flag Tile: Right-click (on desktop) or press and hold (on mobile) to place a flag on a suspected mine. Do it again to remove the flag. You cannot reveal a flagged tile.
Gameplay Tips
- If a tile shows a 1 and there's only one unrevealed tile next to it, that tile must be a mine. Flag it!
- If you've flagged all the mines around a numbered tile, you can safely click the remaining adjacent tiles.
- When you reveal a tile with no adjacent mines, all neighboring empty tiles will automatically be revealed. This can clear large sections of the board quickly!
Flags & Timer
The number next to the icon shows how many mines are left to be flagged. The timer tracks how long you've been playing. Try to beat your fastest time and get on the high score board!
