What Is Mines?
Mines is a grid-based risk game. A 5×5 grid hides a number of mines (you choose how many, from 1 to 24). Click tiles to reveal safe spots — each safe reveal increases your multiplier. Cash out anytime to lock in your winnings, or keep going for bigger payouts. Hit a mine and you lose your bet.
Defuse Kit — Level 7
At Level 7, unlock the Defuse Kit mod. If you hit a mine, the kit saves you once per round — the mine is defused and a safe tile is revealed instead. This single extra life fundamentally changes the risk calculus and is one of the most impactful game mods on the platform.
Adjustable Difficulty
More mines means higher multipliers per tile reveal but greater risk. With 3 mines, you might cash out at 2–3× after several reveals. With 20 mines, each reveal is worth 10×+ but survival odds are slim. The Defuse Kit becomes exponentially more valuable at higher mine counts.
Cash Out Strategy
Mines is all about knowing when to walk away. Each additional reveal is an independent risk decision. There's no penalty for cashing out early, and the multiplier displayed is exactly what you'll receive. The Defuse Kit gives you one cushion to play more aggressively.
