Minesweeper (Games For Work) (2022)



Overview
Microsoft released Minesweeper in the "Games For Work" app in 2022.

The "Games for Work" app runs in Microsoft Teams. The app includes the games Minesweeper, Solitaire, Wordament and IceBreakers.

Minesweeper is a clone of the Classic mode from Microsoft Minesweeper. The key change is that the game is multi-player (1-8 players). In addition, instead of a timer there is a countdown clock and you can play the game with multiple lives. A fourth level (Hard, 20*16) has also been added. You can "work together to get the best time" but there are no highscores.
