MemeSweeper is in beta — details may change.
Minesweeper for the whole chat, with the mines re-skinned as memes. Everyone works one shared board: type a coordinate to reveal a cell, read the numbers to deduce where the memes hide, and flag the ones you’ve worked out. Reveal a meme and you get clowned — you’re out. Clear every safe cell together and the board is swept.

​
Gameplay

1

Reveal a cell

Type a coordinate like d5 (column D, row 5) to uncover it. The very first reveal of the game is always safe.
2

Read the numbers

A revealed number counts the memes touching that cell. A blank (zero) cascades open its neighbours — a big free reveal.
3

Flag the memes

Mark a suspected meme with flag d5 (or f d5). Correct flags score at the end; wrong ones cost nothing.

​
How the board works

The numbers are the whole game: each one counts the memes in the eight cells around it. Step on a meme and you’re out; a blank cell opens a cascade.

Numbers count adjacent memes; a blank cascades open, a flag marks a suspected meme, and stepping on one is out

  • Numbers count memes. A cell’s number is how many of its eight neighbours are memes; a blank has none and opens the surrounding cells automatically.
  • A cascade is yours. Every cell a blank cascade uncovers is credited to whoever triggered it.
  • First reveal is safe. The board seeds its memes around the opening cell, so the first click never loses.
  • Step on a meme, you’re out — unless a lifeline saves you (see Gifts). The meme still reveals so chat learns where it was.

​
Configuration

Board size. How large the grid is — bigger boards take the room longer to clear. Meme count must leave at least one safe cell; a denser board is riskier. Lifeline gift. An optional gift that banks a save (see Gifts).

Layout

MemeSweeper — play surface

  1. Marquee — game title and how-to hint.
  2. Progress strip — safe cells remaining and survivor count.
  3. Board — the shared grid; revealed cells show their number or a meme.
  4. Gift strip — the lifeline gift when configured.
  5. Leaderboard — players ranked by cells uncovered.
The game moves through Lobby → Active → Finished.

​
Gifts

MemeSweeper’s lifeline gift banks a save. If you step on a meme with a lifeline in hand, it’s spent automatically — you survive and keep playing, and the meme still reveals so the board stays honest. It’s off unless the host sets it.

​
Scoring

  • +1 per cell you uncover — including every cell in a cascade you set off.
  • +1 per correctly-flagged meme at the end of the game; wrong flags carry no penalty.
  • The game ends when the board is cleared or everyone has been clowned; the top score wins, and ties are shipped as co-winners.
  • Points feed the per-streamer tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
