Minesweeper Inc.

A Minesweeper-inspired incremental where every cell you dig pays. Run short shifts, buy upgrades between them, and work your way up a seven-floor company tower — glaciers, volcanoes, deep space, a casino on top. Mines? That's what insurance is for.

About the Game

Minesweeper Inc. crosses classic minesweeper deduction with an incremental economy. Dig cells, earn cash, end your shift, spend it all on gloriously irresponsible upgrades — then dig again, bigger and richer.

RUN SHIFTS, NOT MARATHONS Shifts are short and punchy. Hit a mine? Insurance covers most of it — losses are a line item, not a game over. Clear the whole field for a fat clean-shift bonus.

SEVEN FLOORS OF QUESTIONABLE GEOLOGY Your company tower is the world map. Each floor is a new biome with its own minefield, its own skill tree, and its own way to hurt you:

  • Garden — honest dirt, honest money. Learn the ropes.

  • Quarry — ride gold veins for stacking chain multipliers; extract gems flawlessly and the appraiser pays five times over.

  • Glacier — ice hides anything. Crack it and find out. Free gamble.

  • Volcano — open a magma vein and lava spreads cell by cell. Flags are your dam. Don't let it reach a mine.

  • Deep Space — three starfield squares, one decision: BANK the pot, or GO AGAIN at a hotter tier. Bust the pot, not your shift. Constellations pay cash on the side.

  • Data Center — bring six servers online by routing open corridors, and pass row audits fully flagged for a VERIFIED ×2.

  • The Casino — three locked clearance rings, scratch cards with the odds printed right on them, and a MEGA JACKPOT slot machine waiting in the vault. The house pays you. Mostly.

AUTOMATE AND DELEGATE Hire apprentice scanners that dig for you — cautious analysts or reckless gamblers, you set the policy. Buy the floor above and your old floor keeps earning in the background, shift after shift, even while you're away.

GO PUBLIC Prestige by selling your progress for Shares. Shares buy permanent board-level perks and new floors. Fill the corporate museum with 66 excavated artifacts — set bonuses included, duplicate protection included, dignity not included.

RISK IS A DIAL, NOT A DICE ROLL Set your own mine density between shifts. Higher density, higher pay, shakier hands. Wander into the dark zone — cells far from anything you've revealed — for a danger premium. And when deduction feels too honest, the Metal Detector will flag you a guaranteed safe cell. Limited charges. Expense it. The spreadsheet doesn't judge. It multiplies.
