Mine Hunt
Tap a cell to reveal it; the number is how many mines touch it. Long-press, press F, or use the flag toggle to mark mines. Your first tap on each board is always safe. Reveal every safe cell to clear the board and move to a bigger one — hitting a mine ends the run.

How to play Mine Hunt
Tap a cell to reveal it; the number is how many mines touch it. Long-press, press F, or use the flag toggle to mark mines. Your first tap on each board is always safe. Reveal every safe cell to clear the board and move to a bigger one — hitting a mine ends the run.
Tips & tricks
- When you reveal a cell with no mines around it, the game opens all its neighbours for you—so one tap can clear a big chunk of the board.
- Your first tap is always safe because mines are placed after you start—use that opening move to claim a roomy starting zone.
- Earn one safe reveal power-up each time you clear a level; bank them and spend one when you're stuck to open a guaranteed-safe cell.

How do you play Mine Hunt?
Tap any cell to reveal it. If it shows a number, that's how many mines touch it—use the clue to flag the mines. Reveal all safe cells to win the level and move to a bigger, harder board.
What are the power-ups in Mine Hunt?
The "Safe Reveal" is your earned assist: clear each level and you get one, which opens a guaranteed-safe covered cell when you're stuck (press S on a keyboard). Long-press, press F, or use Flag Mode to mark the cells you think hide a mine.
