WHAT THIS IS
A minesweeper the size of a wall. Your phone is the controller.
The board is projected on the wall in front of you. Every hidden tile is a QR code. Scan one, pick what to do with it, and watch it happen on the wall. Everyone in the room plays the same board at the same time.
HOW TO PLAY
Point your phone camera at any QR code on the wall. No app, no account. The link opens in your browser.
The page shows the tile you scanned and two buttons. REVEAL opens it. FLAG marks it as a mine.
The tile changes on the wall within a second. Scan the next one. Clear every safe tile together, or find out where the mines are.
RULES
Minesweeper, as you know it
- QRA QR code is a hidden tile. Scan it to act on it.
- 3A number is how many mines touch that tile, including diagonals.
- An empty tile has no mines around it. Its neighbours open by themselves.
- A hollow square is a flag. Scan a flagged tile again to remove it.
- Revealing a mine ends the round for everyone. The board shows where the mines were, then a new game starts.
- The first reveal of a round is always safe. Reveal every safe tile to win.
