When Flagging Mode is “on”, a green border will appear around the board.Ĭlicking the Emoji Button, above the board, will begin a new game. When Flagging Mode is “off”, a red border will appear around the board. Uncovered cells will either display a blank tile (which will also uncover all adjacent non-mined cells), or feature a number indicating how many mines are either adjacent and/or diagonally to it.Ĭlicking the Flagging Mode Button, below the game board, will toggle Flagging Mode on and off. A standard click, or left click, will uncover a cell on the board. The board is divided into cells, with mines randomly distributed. There are 45 different shapes to tackle in 3D Minesweeper, so boredom is never a factor. The aim of the game is the same as is the gameplay the 3D variation, however, does add a heightened level of logical thinking. The first click in any game cannot result in uncovering a mine. This has not stopped others producing graphically enhanced versions, the most successful being 3D Minesweeper. Flagged cells indicate a potential mine location and are marked by the player.Ī player has only one life per game.

Uncovered cells are exposed and unclickable. A covered cell is displayed as a blank, clickable cell. Minesweeper cells have 3 distinct states - covered, uncovered, and flagged. Other 247 Minesweeper seasonal variations, however, feature different themed icons such as Spring’s bumble bee mine and flower flags. In 247 Minesweeper, mines and flags resemble the classic Minesweeper icons of a naval mine and flag.
