Microsoft Minesweeper

You’ll really need to tread carefully in Microsoft Minesweeper!

The classic game is back in action in this awesome browser version. It’s a Microsoft game that only takes a few minutes to learn, but it could take a lifetime to master! Will you be able to uncover all the empty squares on the board while you attempt to avoid the hidden mines?

The Microsoft edition of this timeless game first debuted in 1990, but its roots go all the way back to the 1960s. Early versions of Minesweeper were among the world’s first video games and various different versions appeared in the decades that followed. This browser edition of the game features three different difficulty levels for beginners and experienced players alike. There's also daily challenges that will really help you improve your skills.

If you click on a hidden mine, it will explode and you’ll have to start all over. Pay close attention to the numbers on the squares as they appear. Each one will indicate how many mines a square is touching.

An indicator at the top of the screen will also help you keep track of how many explosives are scattered around the board. If you think you've located a mine, be sure to plop a flag on top of it. Any suspicious spots can also be labeled with a question mark.
