About this challenge
Factory Inspection is challenge 5 in the ten-part Mine Meadow collection. It uses the same core rules as the other challenges in this family, with its own settings: board width: 6 × 6; hidden mines: 8. Choose it when you want a medium round, or use the previous and next buttons to adjust the challenge.
Rules and controls
Use the neighbour counts to reveal safe squares in Factory Inspection without uncovering a hidden hazard. Tap to reveal. Switch to Flag mode to mark a suspected mine. Your result appears above the board when the round ends. Restart begins a new round; it does not continue the previous board. The game keeps a small record of completed rounds in this browser.
Make your next round better
A number tells you how many mines touch that square, including diagonals. Your first revealed square is safe. Flags are reminders, not proof: compare several neighbouring numbers. If the current challenge feels too demanding, go back one level and focus on the basic pattern before increasing the pace or board size.
Playing on a phone
The board adapts to the width of your screen. Use the displayed buttons or direct touch controls. For word and number inputs, tap the text field to bring up the keyboard. Put your phone in portrait orientation for the clearest view of the controls. Timing games may feel different across devices because screens and input hardware respond at different speeds.
Part of a collection, with a clear goal
