Clear the Strait
Clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz in a shared multiplayer Minesweeper
About Clear the Strait
Clear the Strait is multiplayer Minesweeper on a shared board, set in the Strait of Hormuz. You reveal tiles across the waterway, read the number clues to work out where the mines are hidden and mark them so ships can pass.
The creator, CodyBrown, states it was built with Windsurf, the AI coding editor, and it is drawn on an HTML canvas and works on phones as well as desktops. Vibe Jam 2026 ranked it 313th of 945.
The setting swaps the usual empty grid for a geopolitical one, and the shared board makes clearing it a cooperative or competitive effort. The logic is classic deduction, the strategy comes from playing alongside others, and a run is about clearing the channel without hitting a mine.
