There are three difficulty levels - easy, medium and hard - and the only difference between them is the number of mines in the mine field.

The way to play this game is to start with a random cell on the mine field and tap it.

If the cell contains a mine a message will pop up asking you if you want to continue or restart.

If you choose to continue the cell will be marked with the character 'M' and change color to red, and you will be able to continue the game.

If you choose restart the positions of the mines will be re-randomized and all the cells will be secret.

If the cell did not contain a mine it will change the question mark to a number between 1 and 8. That number is the number of mines surrounding that cell. In that way you can figure out what cells contain mines and avoid tapping them.

But in order to win the game you also have to 'flag' cells that contain mines. This is done by first tapping the button 'Flag' and then tapping the cell that you want to flag. If you change your mind and don't want to flag a cell, just tap 'Flag' again and the next cell you tap will be opened. If the flag-option is active the button will say FLAG, otherwise Flag as shown in the picture on the left. If you have tapped Flag once the flag-option will be active until you have flaged a cell, then it will automatically be deactivated. The cell you have flaged will change color to green and be marked with the character 'F' Once the mine field only contains cells that either are empty or contains a number or the characters 'F' or 'M', you will recieve notice that the game is over given that the flags are put in the right cells. If a cell is flaged when it doesn't contain a mine you must first remove this and tap it to win.

In the message you will also see which score you obtained.

If you got a score greater than the current highscore you will be asked to enter your name in a dialogbox. This will later be stored in your device.
