Netflix has given new life to the classic Windows game Minesweeper, launching a colourful mobile version for its subscribers. The game, available now on Android and iOS, offers a fresh take on the beloved puzzle that have always helped people kill time on their computers.
For those who grew up playing the original Windows version, this new Minesweeper might seem flashier than expected.
However, the core puzzle-solving experience remains true to its roots.
This reimagined Minesweeper keeps the core gameplay intact – players must uncover squares on a grid without hitting hidden mines – but adds vibrant underwater backgrounds and new features to spice things up. A "Journey Mode" lets players travel to different watery locations around the world, while daily challenges offer extra puzzles to solve.
Netflix's Minesweeper is completely free of ads and in-app purchases for subscribers. This approach sets it apart from the countless ad-supported Minesweeper clones flooding app stores.
The game joins Netflix's growing library of mobile titles, which includes everything from indie darlings like Hades to big names such as Grand Theft Auto.
