There's money hidden beneath the squares. The reward will increase the more squares you reveal, but watch out for the 5 hidden mines. Touch one and you'll go broke. You can cash out at any time.
The core mechanics of Mines broken down step by step.
Select how many mines are hidden in the 5x5 grid (more mines = higher multipliers but more danger).
Tap any unrevealed square. If it's safe, your multiplier increases. If it's a mine, you lose.
Each safe reveal compounds your multiplier based on the remaining probability of survival.
Hit the cash out button at any point to lock in your current multiplier and collect your winnings.

Mines is one of the most psychologically intense games on Zexo because every click is a decision. Unlike Dice or Flip where you bet and wait, Mines puts you in control of when to stop. The mathematics are straightforward: with 5 mines on 25 tiles, your first click has a 20/25 (80%) survival chance. If you survive, the second click is 19/24 (79.2%), then 18/23, and so on. The multiplier after each safe reveal exactly mirrors this compounding probability. What makes Mines strategically interesting is the mine count selector — with just 1 mine on 25 tiles, each click is very safe but the multiplier grows slowly. With 10+ mines, even a single safe reveal gives a significant multiplier, but survival odds drop dramatically.
The most dangerous mistake in Mines is "one more click" syndrome. You're sitting at a solid 3x multiplier after 4 safe reveals, and the temptation to click just one more tile is overwhelming. But mathematically, each additional click has a lower survival probability than the last, and the marginal multiplier increase shrinks while the risk of total loss grows. Another common error is ignoring the mine count setting — playing with the default settings every time instead of adjusting based on your risk appetite.
Before each round, decide your target number of reveals and stick to it. With 5 mines, a conservative target is 3 reveals (~1.5x), a moderate target is 5 reveals (~2.5x), and an aggressive target is 8+ reveals (5x+). Pre-committing to your cashout point removes the emotional pressure of in-game decisions.
Mines on Zexo is provably fair — every outcome is verifiable on the Solana blockchain. Set your budget before you play, understand the house edge, and remember that responsible play is the only winning long-term strategy.
The optimal strategy depends on your risk tolerance. With 5 mines on a 25-tile grid, revealing 3-4 safe tiles gives a solid return with reasonable risk. Revealing more tiles increases the payout but each click gets riskier. Many experienced players cash out after 3-5 safe reveals.
Set a session budget before you start playing and stick to it. Never chase losses — the odds don't change based on previous outcomes.
The multiplier is calculated based on the probability of your path being mine-free. With 5 mines on 25 tiles, the first click has an 80% survival rate. After each safe click, the odds shift. The game is mathematically fair — the multiplier exactly matches the risk.
