This isn’t the Minesweeper you’re used to! In Minesweeper: Next-Gen, you’ll explore boards built from a variety of geometric tessellations. Boundaries can wrap around, tiles can split, and parts of the map can even contain the map itself. Rely on pure logic to gradually uncover all safe areas.

About this game
Minesweeper: Next-Gen reimagines the classic game of Minesweeper.
At its core, the familiar logic remains: every clue relates to the number of mines in adjacent tiles. But tiles are no longer confined to simple squares—they can take the form of diverse polygons, or even shapes you’ve never seen before. Each board is built from elegant geometric tessellations, creating a distinct visual experience.
On these unusual boards, even familiar structures are reshaped by new rules. Boundaries can wrap or flip seamlessly; some tiles split into smaller components; certain regions of the map may map onto others, even forming recursive structures.
No need to worry—throughout the game, advanced procedural generation ensures that every level is solvable without guessing. If you get stuck, don’t blame the developer just yet—take another look. There might still be information you haven’t fully used.
These two mysterious little companions will accompany you along the way. Sometimes they offer helpful hints, and sometimes… not so much. Observant players might uncover fragments of their story—though it’s not particularly important, it does add a bit of charm.
Each chapter features hidden bonus maps that add a unique twist to the experience. Want to create your own? No problem! The game also includes a built-in playground where you can choose from 200+ distinctive geometric tessellations maps, customize tile colors with a brush tool, and combine countless rules to design your own levels. Create geometric works that are not only visually striking but also fully playable—and share them with your friends.
Even a simple classic can lead to something unexpectedly delightful. Enjoy your time.
