study carefully the numbers that you see. when it says 1, there is only one bomb within the vicinity of one. So, when you are able to locate it, all the other blocks have no bombs anymore. now look at another one, if the number says 5, it means that there are 5 bombs within the vicinity of 5, look around the squares as to which could have the bombs until there are a total of 5. It is a relatively easy game. I wish I can show it to you actually. Just keep on trying until you get it. Push the help button, it can give you more information about how to play the game.

There is no trick for playing minesweeper.Its all upon luck and some predictions.I think you should try other games which are based on the concept of Minesweeper,but they have some tricks to play.

It's mostly just luck, but there is some strategy to it. The numbers that appear are the amount of mines that are surrounding that square. The goal of the game is to not touch any of the mines. For instance, a square with a 2 on it will have 2 mines surrounding it and 6 safe squares (squares without mines).
