Fathom
Read the numbers to chart the hidden mines and clear the field — one fresh daily board for everyone, plus endless free play.
The classic Minesweeper logic puzzle — deduce where the mines hide and clear the board — built to play right in your browser, with a fresh board every day.
How to play Fathom
Tap any cell to reveal what's under it. A revealed cell shows a number — how many mines touch it, counting all eight neighbours — or opens up a whole safe region if it touches none. On the daily board, one guaranteed-safe cell is hinted to start you off.
Read the numbers to reason out where the mines hide. A ‘1’ touching a single unopened cell means that cell is a mine; from there, the cells around other numbers become provably safe.
Turn on Flag mode — or long-press, or right-click — to mark every cell you've worked out is a mine, so you never reveal it by accident. Tap a fully-flagged number to clear its remaining neighbours in one move.
Reveal every safe cell to win. Reveal a mine and the run ends — but the daily board is the same for everyone, and you can retry it as many times as you like until you crack it.

Tips
- Start from the hinted safe cell on the daily and work outward — the large opened area gives you the most numbers to reason from.
- A number equal to the count of unopened cells around it means every one of those cells is a mine; flag them and the neighbours of nearby numbers open up safely.
- Flag as you go. A clean set of flags turns chording into a fast, safe way to sweep whole regions at once.
- When you're truly stuck, the edges and corners usually have the most constrained numbers — the safest place to make progress without guessing.
About Fathom
Fathom is Navritto's take on Minesweeper — the classic logic puzzle of clearing a grid without detonating a hidden mine — rebuilt to play instantly in the browser. Each numbered cell tells you how many of its neighbours are mined, and from those clues you deduce, flag, and sweep your way to a clean board. There is a fresh daily board that is identical for everyone that day, so a solve is worth comparing, plus endless free play with a true first-click-safe opening, and it fills the screen in portrait or landscape by rendering the very same puzzle turned on its side. It needs no install or account, works with touch, mouse, or keyboard, saves your best time and your streak on your device, and reads by number and shape as well as by colour. Fathom joins Coil, Prism, Doubler, Lexicon, Sudoku, Skyhop, Pairs, Skyline, Ricochet and the rest of Navritto Games — the same bright board, and the same satisfying sweep on every clear.
