The game I played was MINESWEEPER. To play, you have to click on all the squares that do not contain mines. If you hit a mine, you have to restart the game. The numbers in the boxes will tell you the number of mines that are in the boxes surrounding them.

I usually started with the corners, trying to clear as much ground with them as possible before going towards the middle. Afterwards, I began using the numbers in the boxes to try and rule out potential areas where the mines would be located.

I believe that this game uses deductive reasoning. The strategy I used specifically worked based off of this logic: “if there’s two bombs around here, and one bomb around here, then one bomb can’t be here,” and so on.
