A familiar desktop favourite, certainly if you've ever used Windows, Minesweeper is a race against the clock to uncover the hidden mines without setting one off.

How To Play

The game takes place on a grid of squares and a number of mines - the number of each depends on the level:

• Easy - 8 by 8 grid, with 10 mines
• Medium - 16 by 16 grid, with 40 mines
• Hard - 30 by 16 grid, with 99 mines

The clock starts when you first reveal a square and continues until you either correctly mark the position of all the mines, or set one off.
