Contest: Win Minesweeper Genius for Switch, PS4, or Xbox One

GENIUS!

Feel like a friggin’ genius with today’s contest: Win a Switch, PS4, or Xbox One copy of Minesweeper Genius.

I love kooky, off-the-wall kinda stuff. Take Minesweeper Genius for instance — the whole premise is that aliens have cloned Aristotle, and in order to extract his genius they’re making him solve a bunch of Minesweeper puzzles.

It makes so little sense that it makes perfect sense. Which is why I’m giving away a bunch of copies of it.

This is Minesweeper. You go around a board and try to not hit mines. There are 130 regular levels, and 55 bonus challenge levels to go through. You can create your own boards for fun. There’s a switch that moves your Aristotle clone around some, and then some other things get in the way. Watch out! I really don’t know what else I can say about this, so I’ll tell you instead about when I first learned how to play Minesweeper.

I was in fourth grade in Mississippi. My teacher sent me to the library to get some books for the class or something, I don’t really remember. But the librarian was playing Minesweeper on the only computer in the school. I asked what she was doing, and she spent about 45 minutes showing me how to play Minesweeper. My teacher wasn’t terribly happy with me when I finally got back to class, but I gained a new skill that day. Which leads me here, at this exact point in time, to this. Had I not learned to play Minesweeper that day, I wouldn’t have done this contest. The Butterfly Effect in action!
