About the Game

The classic minesweeper game reinvented in a way you've never seen before!

Break your record time on each stage!

You will be able to play each stage of the game separately to beat your time record.


The traditional minesweeper mechanics here have been adapted to bring in some challenging variations. Throughout the game, you will find simpler and more complex levels. We tried to vary the "RNG" (Random Number Generator) to bring a little of luck (very little) to some specific steps to generate more fun. For players who don't like to rely on luck, we've added a "hint button" feature that shows the location of a mine in the scenario :)

If you like puzzles and minesweeper, World War I stories, and are looking for simple, minimalist fun, this is your game.

Featuring:
30+ minesweeper puzzles to complete.
Beat your record time in each stage.
