Minesweeper is a popular puzzle game that challenges players to uncover hidden mines on a grid of tiles without detonating them. The objective of the game is to clear all the tiles without losing any lives, and it can be played alone or with friends and family.

The game is played on a rectangular grid of tiles, with some tiles containing mines that will explode when clicked. Mines are denoted by a small "M" symbol, and they are placed randomly in the game. The number of mines on the board varies depending on the level of difficulty, with harder levels having more mines.

Players must use deduction to determine which tiles are safe to click on. They can clear adjacent tiles that do not contain mines by clicking on them, but if they click on a tile with a mine, it will explode and they will lose a life. The game ends when all the mines have been cleared, or when the player loses all their lives.

Minesweeper has become an enduring classic in the world of puzzle games, with millions of players around the world enjoying its challenges. It is available on many different platforms, including desktop computers, mobile devices, and consoles.
