Logic puzzle

BreakMines

Crack the tiles. Find the mines.

Tap a tile and it cracks open. Each number tells you how many mines touch that tile. Big empty patches shatter open in a wave, and a wrong tap sets off every mine in a chain. Play an adventure across four worlds of odd-shaped boards, earn a probe, radar and shield as you go, or race the clock in Rush. Every board is checked by a solver, so you can always finish by logic alone.

FAQ

Questions

What does no-guess mean?

Before you play, a solver checks that the whole board can be finished by logic from the start. If it can't, the board is changed until it can. Adventure, Rush and the daily board are always no-guess.

How do power-ups work?

In Adventure and Rush, opening tiles fills a bar. Each full bar gives the next power-up: a probe checks one tile safely, radar flags every mine in a 5 × 5 area, and a shield stops the next mine you hit.

How do I earn stars?

One star for clearing a board, one for beating its par time, and one for clearing it without power-ups.

Is the daily board the same for everyone?

Yes. It is made from the date, so everyone gets the same board and the same open start patch. Your first try counts, and power-ups are off.

Is BreakMines free?

Yes. No ads, no account and nothing to buy. Progress and best times stay on your device.

Do I need to download anything?

No. BreakMines runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. It is also part of the Break Puzzles app for iPhone, iPad and Android, coming soon.
