Minesweeper Videos

Tutorials, Weltrekordläufe und Strategieanalysen für alle Levels - Vom ersten Brett bis zum kompetitiven Expert-Spiel.

Tutorials for Beginners

Start here if you have never finished an Expert board. Beginner tutorials teach the three controls that matter most - left-click to reveal, right-click to flag, and the all-important chord (clicking a satisfied number to clear its neighbours in one action). A good tutorial shows you how to read what a number actually means: the count of mines in the eight cells around it. Watch one of these end to end, then play a few 9×9 Beginner boards while the logic is fresh.

Pattern & Strategy Breakdowns

Once the basics feel automatic, use these videos to study pattern recognition and chording rhythm. They slow down formations such as 1-2-1, 1-2-2-1, and the wall 1-1, then show which cells become safe and which become mines. A productive chord reveals several safe neighbours in one recorded action, which is why it can raise efficiency above 100%. Follow along with our written pattern reference so you can pause, replay, and drill each formation.

World-Record Speedruns

Record-level runs are useful for studying mouse paths, scanning and chord timing. Slow a complete run to 0.25× and watch where the player looks next, when a flag enables a chord, and which movements add no information. Record numbers change and archives use different client and input rules, so verify a claimed record against its named authority and date. Practise on the Expert board, then compare your accepted site result in the Minesweeper.now rankings.

Where to Watch

The embeds above pull live YouTube search results, so they always surface current uploads. Beyond them, three places are worth following for ongoing Minesweeper video content:

• YouTube - the largest library of tutorials, world-record verifications, and full no-commentary speedruns. Search by player name (for example "kiraa96") to find a single creator's back catalogue.
• Twitch - live competitive sessions where you can watch top players warm up, set personal bests in real time, and explain their reads in chat.
• Community VOD threads - the r/Minesweeper subreddit regularly pins record runs and annotated replays with frame-by-frame discussion.
