Description

One wrong click. Full wipe.

Classic Minesweeper for World of Warcraft: Forever, with a Liquid Glass interface, Gnomeregan sounds, and a gnome who takes every move personally.

Make the flight fly by, keep busy while your group assembles, or squeeze in a round while the raid leader explains the fight one more time. With Hide in combat enabled, the board gets out of your way when the action starts.

Image disclosure: The promotional images below were created with AI using in-game screenshots as references. Some interface details, text and visual effects differ from the actual addon.

Small tiles. Big gnome energy.

  • Three familiar difficulties. Beginner, Intermediate and Expert—from a quick round to a full field of 99 mines.
  • A safe first click. Choose an opening that clears an area or a classic safe-tile start.
  • Personal bests across your characters. Track your fastest clears, including who set each record and when. Beat your best for a fanfare and fireworks.
  • A gnome with opinions. She reacts to your moves, celebrates your victories and wears the consequences of your mistakes. Click her portrait to start a new game.
  • Two board styles. Choose Classic or Modern with ice-blue glass tiles, with difficulty colours inspired by WoW’s item rarities.
  • The sounds of Gnomeregan. Enjoy themed sound effects and optional dungeon music, with controls to keep things quiet when you prefer.
  • Fits into your downtime. Open it from the minimap, a key binding or a slash command. Adjust the window size and choose whether it hides during combat.

I've been playing WoW for a while now, both at relatively high mythic progression to now casual classic raiding. Also a hockey fan.
