Wanna Play Minesweeper? (video)

Introduction

Hello everyone, today we are going to play minesweeper. I will explain how to play the game and defeat it!

Minesweeper is a single-player puzzle video game. The objective of the game is to clear a rectangular board containing hidden “mines” or bombs without detonating any of them, with help from clues about the number of neighboring mines in each field. The game originates from the 1960s, and has been written for many computing platforms in use today. It has many variations and offshoots.

The player is initially presented with a grid of undifferentiated squares. Some randomly selected squares, unknown to the player, are designated to contain mines. Typically, the size of the grid and the number of mines are set in advance by the user, either by entering the numbers or selecting from predefined skill levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, Custom – other names vary). The game is played by revealing squares of the grid by typically clicking them with a mouse. If a square containing a mine is revealed, the player loses the game. Otherwise, a digit is revealed in the square, indicating the number of adjacent squares (typically out of 8) that contain mines; if no mines are adjacent, the square becomes blank, and all adjacent squares will be recursively revealed. The player uses this information to deduce the contents of other squares, and may either safely reveal each square or mark the square as containing a mine.

The player uses this information to deduce which numbered tile represents which number square they should click next (i.e., marking off each possible correct guess until only one remaining “blank” tile remains).
