About Safe Garden

Safe Garden is a gentle clearing game. Some stones are hiding in the garden, and your job is to open every square that has none. Each number tells you how many stones touch that square, so you can work out where it is safe to tap. It is a number-clue logic puzzle.

There is no timer and no game over. If you tap a stone, Mitsy just shows it, marks it, and you carry on.

How to play

  1. Tap any square to begin. The first square is always safe, and it opens a clear patch.
  2. A number counts the stones in the squares touching it, including the corners. A blank square has none nearby.
  3. Use the numbers to work out which squares are safe, and tap them to open them.
  4. Switch on Mark stones, or press F on a keyboard, to put a marker where you think a stone is. Markers are only for you.
  5. Open every safe square to win. Choose a small, medium or large garden.

Mitsy's cosy tips

Friendly hints for Safe Garden

  • Start with a 1 that has only one hidden square beside it. That square must be a stone.
  • If a number already has all its stones marked, every other square beside it is safe.
  • Look at two numbers together. The squares they share often give the answer.
  • Stuck? Open a different part of the garden for more clues.

Frequently asked questions

Simple answers for a calm play session

What happens if I tap a stone?

Nothing bad. The stone is shown, it counts as a bump, and the game goes on.

How does the honey work?

Mitsy counts your bumps. None gives three spoonfuls, one or two gives two, and more gives one. Markers are free. Ten spoonfuls fill his jar.

Can I always finish it?

Stones are placed after your first tap, away from that square, so you always get a start. Some gardens need one careful guess, and a bump is only counted.

Is my best score saved?

Yes, on this device only. Your scores and honey stay in your browser, and nothing is sent to us.

Is this like a mine-clearing game?

The numbers work the same way: each tells you how many hidden stones touch a square. The difference is that a stone never ends your game.
