Cómo funciona

The Arena Format

Arena is head-to-head: you and exactly one opponent are dealt the same mine layout and race to clear it. Because the board is identical, luck is removed entirely - the match is decided purely by who reads the board faster and clicks more efficiently. You spend one arena ticket to enter a match, and tickets come in twelve tiers (L1 through L12). The ticket tier sets the difficulty of the board you will play: an L1 ticket queues you onto a Beginner 9×9 grid, while an L12 ticket drops you into an extreme custom board. You can only find and play tickets up to the cap allowed by your current rank, so higher ranks unlock harder, higher-value arena matches.

Arena Levels & Ticket Tiers

Each ticket tier maps to a fixed difficulty band. Beginner-band tickets (L1–L2) are the most common drops; the Expert and custom tiers (L5 and up) are progressively rarer and reward more arena points per win. Below is the full ladder.

How Scoring Works: Speed + Efficiency

An arena match is not won by raw finish time alone. Your result combines two factors: speed (how quickly you clear the board, measured as 3BV/s) and efficiency (how few clicks you used relative to the board's 3BV - the same efficiency percentage tracked in solo ranked play). The player with the higher combined score takes the match. This is deliberate: a fast but sloppy run that wastes clicks can lose to a slightly slower opponent who chorded cleanly. If both players misclick a mine, the one who cleared more of the board before exploding scores higher, so it is almost always worth pushing rather than playing it ultra-safe.

Worked Example

Arena Points, Rewards & Trophies

Every match you win adds to your running arena points total. Those points are a reward in two ways. First, they feed the dedicated Arena trophy category - at the top tier, every 7 arena points converts into 100 trophies, which directly raises your overall rank. Second, hitting milestones unlocks achievements: 10 total arena points awards the Gladiator achievement, which itself contributes to your Achievements trophy category. Winning higher-tier matches (from rarer L5+ tickets) awards more arena points than the common Beginner tiers, so seeking out and saving high-level tickets is the fastest way to grow your arena score.
