About game
Logic puzzles often feel repetitive until you find a twist that completely redefines the rules of the genre. Treasure and Mines: Hex-Way takes the classic mine-avoidance formula and injects a treasure hunt objective to keep your brain working overtime. You navigate a hexagonal grid where every tile you open reveals two distinct numbers rather than just a single proximity hint. One number warns you about the nearest hidden bomb, while the second digit points toward the location of valuable loot. Success relies on balancing your greed for gold against the survival instinct needed to avoid a blast. Balancing these dual clues turns Treasure and Mines: Hex-Way into a tense strategy session that demands patience. You can bump up the difficulty settings to expand the map size or increase the density of traps. Play this logic challenge for free in your browser right now without downloading a single file.
How to play
The goal of the game is to find all the hidden treasures while avoiding encounters with bombs.
On an opened cell, there are two numbers: the first indicates the radius (how many cells away) the nearest bomb is located, and the second indicates where the nearest treasure is located.
Using these numbers as clues, you can use logic to figure out which direction to go and which next cell to safely open.
PC CONTROLS:
Left mouse button:
Dig (open a cell).
Right mouse button:
Place a flag (mark a cell where you think a bomb is hidden).
You cannot accidentally click on a flagged cell!
The first click is always safe — open and begin your journey!
A counter will show how many treasures are still left to find.
Once you get the hang of it, increase the difficulty — this will make the path to the treasures more varied.
