Want to reliably clear the 8‑level Minesweeper Plus Adventure mode and earn good ranks? This Minesweeper Plus Adventure guide provides a practical plan to manage resources and logic while beating all 8 levels.
Whether you're new to Minesweeper Plus Adventure or looking to improve your ranking, this guide covers everything from basic rules to advanced Episode 2 strategies.
Adventure Mode Rules Overview
Understanding how Minesweeper Plus Adventure mode works is essential before diving into strategies.
Minesweeper Plus Adventure mode basics:
- You must clear 8 Minesweeper levels in a row without failing
- Starting resources: begin with 100 Minecoins
- Health is not restored between levels — manage it carefully
- Continue on failure: pay Minecoins to restart the current level, or it's game over
- End‑of‑run coins: Minecoins remaining at the end are added to your total
Adventure save system:
- Quick save: saving and exiting during Adventure creates a quick save
- Click CONTINUE on the select screen to resume from your quick save
- Starting a new Adventure overwrites the existing save
- Complete all 8 levels to receive a rank based on your performance
The Three Resources You're Managing
In Minesweeper Plus Adventure mode, you're managing three critical resources simultaneously:
In Adventure, you’re managing three things at once:
- Health: up to three mistakes total, with no reset between levels in Adventure mode
- Minecoins: your currency for both continues and sonar uses
- Time & mental energy: later boards are bigger and denser, so mistakes are more likely
Key insight: Early levels are where you "build the snowball," later levels test whether you can "keep it together."
Early Levels (1–3): Build Your Foundation
The first three levels of Minesweeper Plus Adventure are crucial for setting up a successful run.
Goal: Build Minecoins and confidence without wasting health.
Early level strategies:
- Avoid using sonar if possible: early boards are simpler and great for pure logic practice
- Avoid continues: spending Minecoins to continue on level 1 or 2 is almost never worth it
- Use Practice & Free Play as warm‑up:
- Before a serious Adventure attempt, train on similar board sizes in Practice mode
- That way, the first few Adventure levels feel much easier
When to restart: If you finish level 1–2 with only 1 health left and very few Minecoins, it's usually better to abandon that run and start fresh.
Mid Levels (4–6): Strategic Resource Management
From the mid‑section onward in Minesweeper Plus Adventure, boards get larger, information increases, and luck pressure rises.
From the mid‑section onward, boards get larger, information increases, and luck pressure rises.
Mid-level priority system:
- Health comes first:
- If the board is complex and you're down to your last health, consider limited sonar use
- Especially for truly forced 50/50 situations that decide the Adventure run
- Spend Minecoins sensibly:
- Sonar costs in the same level go 50 → 100 → 150 → … (increasing with each use)
- In most cases, don't use sonar more than twice in one level unless you're very close to finishing
- Be willing to restart bad runs:
- If you've already used a continue, burned a lot of sonar, and your health is low in the middle levels, it may be better to let the run die and start fresh
Key mindset: Don't pour all your survival tools into a run that is clearly "scuffed" from the start.
Late Levels (7–8): Push for Victory
By now in your Minesweeper Plus Adventure run, you've invested a lot of time and focus. Let your goal decide how you spend resources:
Two approaches for late levels:
- Goal A: First full clear of Adventure
- If this is your first attempt to beat all 8 levels, and you're close to the end, it's okay to spend more Minecoins and sonar to secure the win
- Prioritize experiencing a full, successful Adventure run before optimizing
- Goal B: High rank / efficient runs
- Once you've cleared Adventure a few times and want better ranks:
- Minimize sonar uses
- Avoid multiple continues (death → continue → another death → …)
- Focus on "staying alive to level 8" rather than restarting too often just to keep perfect health
- Once you've cleared Adventure a few times and want better ranks:
General rule: Aim for a safe clear first, then squeeze out resource efficiency in later Adventure runs.
Episode 2: Advanced Adventure Mode
Minesweeper Plus Adventure Episode 2 is harder but includes additional tools to help you succeed.
Episode 2 differences:
- Episode 2 is harder than Episode 1
- To compensate, sonar costs are slightly reduced
- You can obtain shields, which are used instead of health when you make a mistake
Episode 2 strategies:
- Treat shields as extra health, but don't use them as an excuse to click recklessly
- Even if sonar is cheaper, don't treat it as unlimited X‑ray — your Minecoins can still burn away fast
- Episode 2 is best approached after you're comfortable clearing Episode 1; think of it as the "advanced challenge" route
When Should You Use Continue?
The Continue option in Minesweeper Plus Adventure sends you back to the start of the current level at the cost of Minecoins. Here's when to use it:
Good times to Continue:
- You died on level 7 or 8 with generally healthy resources
- The run up to now has been very smooth and you lost only to a single mis‑click or small mistake
Bad times to Continue:
- You've been bleeding health for several levels and are already nearly dead
- You've spent a lot of sonar, are nearly out of Minecoins, and you're still in the mid levels
Simple rule: Close to the end with decent resources → Continue is reasonable. Far from the end with a bad state → better to restart.
Preparation Checklist for Adventure Mode
Before committing to serious Minesweeper Plus Adventure runs, prepare yourself:
Essential preparation:
- Play several Practice games on larger boards to get used to the scale
- Get comfortable with chording so you don't accidentally blow up a cluster due to bad flags
- Learn to solve mid‑difficulty boards without sonar, so sonar is truly a backup, not your main crutch
- Spend time in Normal mode feeling how health + sonar + Master toggle all work together
Once you reach the point where you rarely lose a board purely to guessing, Adventure runs become far less stressful.

What's the difference between Episode 1 and Episode 2 in Adventure mode?

How do I get a good rank in Adventure mode?
For better ranks, minimize sonar uses, avoid multiple continues, and focus on staying alive to level 8 rather than restarting too often. Aim for efficient resource management throughout all 8 levels.
