Truthsweeper

What is Truthsweeper ?

Truthsweeper is a daily browser puzzle from Mayhex that blends trivia knowledge with Minesweeper-style deduction. Each round presents a grid of statements drawn from geography, science, and pop culture, and asks players to judge each one true or false. Like Minesweeper, the layout provides hints: a statement may be accompanied by a clue noting how many of its neighboring tiles are false. A live counter tracks how many true statements remain to be identified. The game is one of several daily puzzles on Mayhex, alongside Hundo, Babushka, Span, and Pour, with new challenges released each day and

Truthsweeper’s true-or-false trivia fused with neighbor-counting logic is a sharp little puzzle, though the challenge depends a lot on what you happen to know.

I can jump into a quick Truthsweeper round during a coffee break and feel clever without needing a manual — perfect for busy days.

Finally a daily game that lets me show off knowing Cyprus is split between Greek and Turkish communities — more geography like that, please.

Truthsweeper gives me that pub-quiz adrenaline, and I love that a random fact like “Tokyo 2020” being false can spark a whole afternoon of second-guessing.

How to play Truthsweeper

You are shown a grid of statements, each labeled with a candidate verdict of true or false. A counter at the top tracks how many true statements remain to be found. Some tiles carry a hint indicating how many of their neighbors are false — for example, a statement may note that one of its adjacent tiles is false. Use these neighbor clues to deduce which statements are actually true and which are false, then mark each one accordingly. The puzzle is timed, and your completion time is recorded.

Tips & strategy

• Start with statements that carry explicit neighbor hints — they anchor the deduction.
• When a statement is confirmed true, update the remaining-true counter mentally to track your progress.
• If a clue says one neighbor is false, check all adjacent tiles: exactly one must be false, which can rule in or out nearby statements.
• Don't rely on prior knowledge alone — the neighbor logic can override what you think you know about a statement's truth.
• If you're stuck, skip to another puzzle on Mayhex and return later; the daily reset gives you a fresh grid.
