Minesweeper: goal and players
Play Minesweeper online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- Everyone races on the same minefield at the same time, each on their own copy. You can’t see the others’ boards, only how much they’ve cleared.
- The race starts with the same empty patch already open for everyone, so nobody has to guess on the first move.
- A number tells you how many mines touch that square (around it, corners too).
- Tap a square to dig. Hold it (or use the Flag switch, or right-click) to put a flag on a mine. Tap a number whose mines are all flagged to open everything around it.
- Hit a mine and you lose a heart and freeze for 3 seconds. Lose your last heart and you’re out (in Classic you have one heart).
- First to clear every safe square wins. If the clock runs out first, the most cleared wins. Mines hit break ties.

History & origins
Minesweeper grew from early computer mine-detection puzzles and became widely familiar through Microsoft’s Windows versions in the 1990s.
Its earliest ancestry is disputed, so one popular edition should not be treated as the undisputed first invention of the entire genre.
Numbered cells turn a hidden minefield into a deduction puzzle. Jawna gives competitors the same field to clear in a shared race.
