Treasure Sweep

The game

Minesweeper's clues crossed with Battleship's hidden shapes. Treasures — multi-cell pieces like a Blue Vein or a Ruby Lode — and a dozen bombs hide under the board, and every safe cell you dig shows two numbers: red counts the bombs touching it, gold counts the treasure. Red warns, gold pulls, and the tension between them is the whole game.

How it plays

1. Start at the ⛏ entrance — in the daily it is guaranteed safe, so your opening dig is a decision, never a guess. Nowhere is your first dig ever a bomb.
2. Read the pairs. A gold 2 beside a red 0 is an invitation; a gold 2 beside a red 3 is a negotiation. Flag the bombs you deduce.
3. First hits show a sealed chest 📦. Complete the whole treasure and it opens into its true form — partial knowledge, honestly displayed.
4. Bombs crater 3×3, wipe clues and flags, chain-detonate each other, and churn their footprint into rubble that hides what survived. Rubble can be re-dug — the board keeps its secrets twice.

The Clean Heist

One bonus, and it demands all three: every segment recovered, none destroyed, no bomb detonated. Setting one off locks nothing out — it simply forfeits the crown. The daily's real leaderboard is who stole everything without a sound.

Battle

Two players on one device: both hide their loot, then take turns digging each other's boards. Win by revealing all surviving enemy treasure — or by blasting theirs to nothing. Board sizes ramp from 10×10 to a 14×14 expert field.

Worth a closer look

• Dual clues make dual deductions: every dig constrains two hidden layouts at once — the bombs you avoid and the shapes you hunt.
• Destruction is information: a blast destroys at most one segment per treasure type, so even a disaster tells you what is left.
• The daily never guesses: a marked safe entrance and a no-bomb first dig make the shared board a pure deduction race.
