Reverse Sweeper is a daily logic puzzle that flips Minesweeper on its head. Instead of avoiding mines, you're hunting for hidden geese using number clues scattered across the grid.
The board starts with some cells already revealed, showing numbers that indicate how many geese are hiding in adjacent cells (including diagonals). Your job is to use pure logic to mark every goose location without guessing.
- The game has Goose, Empty, and Cycle modes.
- Choose Goose or Empty to mark blank cells, or use Cycle to switch between goose, empty, and unmarked.
- Empty marks are optional: You only need to flag every goose to win. Marking empty water helps track deductions.
- Numbers tell you how many hidden geese touch that cell (all 8 neighbors count).
- Find all geese to solve the puzzle.
- Use the Check button to verify your solution when ready.
- A timer tracks your solve speed for leaderboard bragging rights.
The satisfying part is cross referencing numbers to eliminate possibilities. A cell showing "1" next to seven neighbors you know are goose-free? That last neighbor must be a goose. Chain those deductions together and the flock reveals itself.
Why we like it:
- β Minesweeper fans get a fresh twist on familiar logic without the anxiety of accidentally clicking a mine.
- β Designed to be solved through deduction, with no guessing needed.
- β Honking geese are objectively better than exploding mines.
Hint: Start with the most constrained numbers.
