The board
never ends.
Start in a calm, low-density zone and travel outward. The deeper you push, the more each safe tile is worth — and the more likely it hides a mine. Bank your run whenever you dare.
Anyone can start in ten seconds.
The rules are minesweeper. The decision is new: every safe tile asks whether to stop, or go one row deeper.
Tap to clear
Tap a tile to reveal it. Numbers count the mines around it; an empty tile floods open its neighbours, just like always. Every safe tile adds to your unbanked score.
Travel outward
Mine density and points both rise with distance from the origin. The board stays solvable by deduction for a long way — so going deep is a read, not a coin flip.
Bank it, or risk it
The Cash Out button is always there. Bank your run at 100%, or push for more. Hit a mine and you still salvage half — a session is never wiped in one tap.
Depth is the reward, not just the risk.
A gentle density curve keeps the near field a calm warm-up and the deep field a real gauntlet. Points scale super-linearly with distance, so the frontier always pays more than the grind behind you.
- Rising stakes. Mine density climbs from ~8% at the origin toward a hard cap as you travel out.
- Super-linear payoff. A deep tile can be worth many times a tile near home.
- Solvable by skill. Tuned so the first forced guess is a fair gate, not a 50/50 wall.
- 50% salvage. A mine ends the run but banks half — the deep dive still meant something.
One board. One shot. The whole world.
Every day, everyone gets the same seeded board and a single attempt. Your score lands on a Game Center leaderboard the moment you cash out — friends and global, for free.
- Fair by design. The Daily is free for everyone — money never buys a second attempt.
- Your territory, shared. Each cleared run is a unique abstract shape — built to screenshot.
- Come back tomorrow. A streak, a rank, a new board at midnight UTC.
Calm, monochrome, one accent.
SwiftUI throughout. Native dark mode, Dynamic Type, haptics, Liquid Glass on the chrome. The cleared board is the only hero on screen.
Money buys more game — never an advantage.
