The players need the clues to get from one spot to the next. Find clues online or brainstorm clues based on how old and savvy the players are. You just need to be patient and try not to speed through it.Plan your clues. There is also an ability where you can place flags on squares you haven't cleared to mark those spots as traps so if you accidentally click there it doesn't clear it. Its a puzzle game that requires deduction and observation skills. And the first two Xs in the third row are safe to clear as if they had a trap, that 1 in the bottom row and the 1 in the second row would both be a 2 or higher. So the top and second rows are safe, as if there were traps there that 1 would be a 2 or higher. The traps are located at the bottom right 2 Xs as the 2 square has to be next to both of them and the 1 squares are only touching 1 of them. So working off the previous example, you will probably see this a lot: X X X 1 X X X X X 1 2 Now using those numbers, you should be able to figure out the possible trap locations, as the trap has to be next to and touching the number square. But normally the highest I've seen the number go is 5 or 6, but its usually 3 or 4 most times. A square with a 7 or 8 means there are traps on all sides of that square. Usually when you dig you will clear out large chunks of blocks, as they are blank spaces with no traps nearby, in doing so it normally reveals several squares with numbers, the higher the number, the more traps around that square. Sometimes you have to guess, but most of the time you use the other numbers that may have appeared around the area to eliminate blocks.

Ex) X X X 1 X X X X Only 1 of those X blocks has a trap, so 6 of those Xs are safe to clear, and 1 isnt and you have to use the process of elimination to figure out which block has the trap and then clear the rest to make a path. So if you see a 1, there is only 1 trap next to that square. The number represents how many traps are next to/touching that square with the number in it.
