October 21, 2026 — Every run is ranked

Practice runs are gone. In Daily you can try as many times as you like, every run is recorded, and each player is ranked by their best run.
Stage runs start once the server has sent the board, so every run counts for the ranking when you're online.
The Korean name of the game is now 지뢰 탈출 (the English name stays Exit Mine).

The game and all guide pages are now available in English at exitmine.app/en/.
On your first visit, the site picks Korean or English based on your country. Switch anytime with the language link.

📅 Daily: everyone plays the same 15×15 board (40 mines) for a day. (At launch only the first try counted; see the change above.)
🏆 Rankings: view daily and per-stage rankings by time (fastest) or cells (fewest opened).
Stage cell rankings compare "extra cells" — cells opened minus that board's shortest path — so lucky boards matter less.
No sign-up: each device gets an anonymous account, and setting a nickname shows your name in the ranking.
Ranked runs are verified by the server, which rebuilds the same board, and the time is measured on the server.

Stages 1–10: starting at 10×10 and growing one cell per stage up to 19×19, with mine density rising from about 14% to 21%.
Every board is checked by a solver so that you can reach the exit from the revealed numbers without guessing.
No mines next to the entrance, so your first move is always safe.
On a loss, the game shows every mine and any wrong flags, and you can retry on a new board of the same size.
On a clear, the game shows your path, your record, and the shortest possible safe path on that board.

Classic: no time limit — the fewer cells you open, the better. Time is shown for reference.
Time attack: clear each stage within its limit (1:30, plus 20 seconds per stage). Your fastest clear is recorded.
Progress and best records are kept separately for each mode.
Tap the timer or press P to pause. The game pauses itself when you switch apps or tabs.

Phones: long-press to flag, pinch to zoom, drag to move. Controls sit at the bottom within thumb reach.
Computers: right-click to flag, Space to switch between open and flag, Ctrl+wheel to zoom.
In landscape, info sits on the left and the board on the right.
Devices set to dark mode get a dark theme automatically.
