Play Minesweeper Online
Tap squares, sweat over numbers, and try not to blow up—same old Minesweeper tension, now crammed into a Game Boy screen. Bigger grids mean more ways to guess wrong, and those "helpful" pre-revealed squares? Yeah, they're traps.
Nintendo published Minesweeper for the Game Boy in 1998, a time when puzzle games were a staple of the handheld. It was a straightforward port of the classic PC logic game, adapted for a portable screen and a simpler control scheme. The game fit right in with the platform's library of thoughtful, time consuming diversions.
You control a cursor, moving it across a grid of hidden squares to uncover them one by one. Your only goal is to mark every mine on the grid without accidentally detonating one. The core mechanics rely on using numbered clues, which tell you how many mines are adjacent to a cleared square, to deduce safe paths and dangerous spots. The game offers multiple grid sizes, with the larger ones demanding intense concentration and careful pattern recognition. It is a quiet, tense exercise in pure deduction that feels immensely satisfying when you finally clear the board.
