Crate Sweeper

Move your character to push crates around the grid. Each crate displays how many mines sit in the eight cells around it, so sliding a crate to a new spot gives you a fresh reading. Cross-reference the numbers to deduce exactly where the mines are buried.

• Push crates to sample mine counts from different positions
• Flag every cell you've deduced holds a mine
• Win by flagging all mines with no false flags
• Step on a mine and the run ends

• Desktop: arrow keys or WASD to move and push; click an adjacent cell to step; right-click to flag
• Phone & tablet: tap to move and long-press (about 0.4s) to flag

• Daily seeded puzzle and Practice
• Three board sizes: 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7 with more mines

• Move a crate to a spot where its count overlaps a known region to isolate one cell
• Use the undo button freely to test how pushes change the readings
• Every board is solvable by pure deduction, so never guess if you can prove a mine

Two genres meet exactly. Sokoban — "warehouse keeper", created in 1981 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi — is pure push-only crate logistics, and Minesweeper is pure numeric deduction about hidden cells.

The original idea is to put the numbers on the crates. Each crate reports how many mines sit in the eight cells around it, so pushing it somewhere new takes a fresh reading.

That makes movement and information the same act, which neither parent does. Minesweeper's clues are fixed where they are revealed; a mobile clue means you can choose what to learn next, and the cost of learning it is a crate you may not be able to push back.
