A flame goes off — the round ends immediately

Board cleared — every flame avoided

## How to play

Tap a tile to reveal it: empty tiles open up their neighbours automatically. Long-press a tile to flag a suspected flame. Your very first tap is always guaranteed safe.

Arm the radar tool from the toolbar, tap a tile to centre a scan, then turn the Digital Crown to sweep it and reveal nearby verdicts.

## Scoring & strategy

One wrong tap on a flame ends the round immediately: there's no mistake buffer. The board and flame count both grow with difficulty, from a 4×4 grid with 2 flames on Easy up to 8×5 with 10 flames on Hard, and on Hard the radar only tells you an adjacent-flame count instead of a direct flame-or-safe verdict.

The radar has its own charge meter: it starts with one charge and earns another every six safe tiles you reveal.
