Learn the ins and outs of this popular – and addictive – computer game.
You Will Need
- A computer
- The Minesweeper program
- Strategy
Step 1: Start a new game
Start a new game. A grid of gray squares will appear.
Start on the easiest setting, and work your way up to harder settings.
Step 2: Click on a square
Left-click on any gray square. On a Mac, simply click on it. If there is a mine hidden under the square, you immediately lose the game. If there isn’t a mine under the square, there will be a number – one through eight –indicating how many mines are under the eight adjacent squares.
Step 3: Locate other safe squares
Determine safe squares by using the uncovered numbers. Lower numbers indicate fewer mines adjacent to that square. If the number is a “1,” then there is only one mine around that square, and seven safe squares.
Step 4: Flag possible mines
Flag squares that you deduce are hiding mines by right-clicking on them. On a Mac, hit the option key at the same time you click the mouse.
Improperly flagging a square can cost you the game.
Step 5: Locate all the mines
Locate all the mines and uncover all the number squares to win the game and become the ultimate minesweeper.
Did you know? In the film The Caine Mutiny, the USS Caine was played by the Navy destroyer-minesweeper USS Thompson.
