Minesweeper is a puzzle game where players clear a grid of hidden squares without triggering hidden mines. Numbers on revealed squares indicate how many mines are adjacent, helping players deduce the location of mines. Use flags to mark suspected mines and powerups to gain an advantage. The goal is to reveal all non-mined squares.
