Minesweeper Quests

How Daily Quests Are Assigned and Refreshed

At 00:00 UTC you get a fresh set of three daily quests drawn from the pool of levels your rank unlocks - the assignment picks one quest from each available level first, then fills any remaining slot at random. Yesterday's unclaimed quests are not lost: they carry over into today's three slots with their progress intact, so a quest you left at 8/10 wins is still at 8/10 the next morning.

This carry-over rule has a practical consequence: finishing a quest is only half the job. Rewards are granted when you claim the quest, and a completed-but-unclaimed quest occupies one of tomorrow's three slots. Claim everything before you log off.

Reroll Rules: When and How to Swap a Quest

You can reroll one daily quest per day (two with Premium). Only daily quests qualify - season quests are fixed - and a quest that is already complete or claimed cannot be swapped. The replacement is drawn from the same quest level whenever possible, so rerolling changes the objective, not the reward tier.

Two things to know before you press the button: the new quest starts at zero progress, and the reroll counter resets at midnight UTC along with the quests. The optimal habit is to reroll immediately after your quests arrive - swapping a half-finished quest later in the day throws that progress away.

Elite Quests: How the 2× Bonus Works

Once you reach Surveyor rank (400+ trophies), one elite quest is added to your board every day on top of the normal three. It is drawn from two quest levels above your normal maximum (capped at L12), so the objective is genuinely harder - but every reward is doubled: XP, minecoins, and any gem payout. For a Surveyor whose normal ceiling is L5, that means daily access to L7 rewards at 2× - by far the best XP-per-game value available at that rank.

Quest Objectives and Optimal Completion Strategies

Objectives fall into a few families: win or play a number of games (sometimes at a specific difficulty), win in No-Guessing mode, earn a set amount of XP, reach a target efficiency percentage in a single win, or beat a target time. One game can advance several quests at once - an Expert win counts simultaneously toward "win games", "win Expert games", and any XP quest - so read all three objectives before choosing what to play.

For pure win-count quests, Beginner boards are the fastest grind. For XP quests, Expert is far more efficient: a win pays 300 base XP against Beginner's 50, and fast chording adds a speed bonus of up to 50% on top. Efficiency and time-target quests are easiest on Beginner, where a single clean chorded run routinely exceeds 100% efficiency.

Season quests run on a longer clock: you hold five at a time, they last until the season ends, and their rewards are roughly a season's worth of dailies in one payout. Treat them as background goals your daily play chips away at. And if you are consistent, note the Addict achievement: completing 100 daily quests pays a one-time 2,000 XP and 200 minecoins.
