Minesweeper unblocked brings back the classic logic puzzle where careful thinking beats lucky guessing. Numbers tell you how many mines touch each square, and it is up to you to figure out the rest. With a campaign, plenty of custom options, and a built-in tutorial, this version on Classroom 7x works for newcomers and veterans alike.
About Minesweeper
The goal is to clear a rectangular board without setting off any of the hidden mines. When you reveal a safe square, it shows a number telling you how many of its neighboring squares contain mines. If a square has no neighboring mines, it appears blank and automatically opens up the squares around it, often clearing a big chunk of the board at once. Reveal a mine, though, and the round is over. Using the numbers to deduce what lies underneath is the heart of the game.
This edition adds a campaign of levels that steadily get harder, so you can build your skills one board at a time. You can also customize the game in plenty of ways to make it look and play the way you like. Smooth animations make each reveal feel satisfying, and a detailed tutorial walks beginners through how the clues work. If you have ever been confused by Minesweeper, this is a friendly place to finally learn it.
How to Play Minesweeper
- Start with the tutorial if you are new, since it explains how the number clues work step by step.
- Click or tap any square to reveal it and see how many mines are touching it.
- Use the numbers to work out which neighboring squares must hide mines and which must be safe.
- Mark the squares you know contain mines so you do not reveal them by accident.
- Keep uncovering safe squares until every non-mine square is revealed, then move on to the next campaign level.

Tips and Tricks
- Start by looking for a 1 next to exactly one hidden square. That square must be a mine, which gives you a solid foothold.
- When a number already touches as many marked mines as its value, every other hidden square around it is safe to open.
- Learn the 1-2-1 pattern. When those numbers sit in a row along hidden squares, the mines are beside the 1s and the square beside the 2 is safe.
- Work along the edges of cleared areas, where clues are densest, instead of clicking random squares in untouched parts of the board.
- Mark mines as soon as you are sure about them. Clear markers make it much easier to read the next set of clues.

Minesweeper FAQ
What do the numbers in Minesweeper mean?
Each number shows how many mines are hidden in the squares directly touching it, including diagonals. A 3, for example, means exactly three of its up to eight neighbors contain mines.
Why did a big area open up after one click?
You found a square with no mines next to it. Blank squares automatically reveal all their neighbors, and if any of those are blank too, the reveal keeps spreading until it reaches numbered squares.
Do you ever have to guess?
Sometimes. Many positions can be solved with pure logic, but now and then a board leaves no safe deduction and you have to guess. Before guessing, double check every number around the area, because a missed clue is more common than a true coin flip.
Can I play Minesweeper on a school Chromebook?
Yes. Minesweeper runs in the Chrome browser on Chromebooks, Windows PCs and Macs with nothing to install. It is designed for a keyboard and mouse, so it plays best on a computer rather than a phone.
Is Minesweeper free to play?
Yes, Minesweeper is completely free on Classroom 7x. There is no download, no account and no sign-up. Press Play and the game loads right on this page.
