Microsoft Minesweeper (formerly just Minesweeper, and also known as Flower Field) is a minesweeper-type video game created by Curt Johnson, originally for IBM's OS/2, that was ported to Microsoft Windows by Robert Donner, both Microsoft employees at the time.

What is Microsoft Minesweeper about?

The goal of Minesweeper is to uncover all the squares on a grid that do not contain mines without being "blown up" by clicking on a square with a mine underneath. The location of most mines is discovered through a logical process, but some require guessing, usually with a 50-50 chance of being correct.

Should I stream Microsoft Minesweeper on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 5 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 5 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 5 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

How many people stream Microsoft Minesweeper?

1 right now, to 5 viewers between them. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is Microsoft Minesweeper too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Microsoft Minesweeper, and the one English stream holds all 5 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
