Minesweeper but it's on a world map. Each country will count the number of bordering(adjacent) countries with a mine (including the counting itself, if it has a mine), and display it as a fill color. Each color is already revealed for you. You can see that each number corresponds with a color in the legend below.
Here is what each color represents:

  • Grey- All bordering countries are not mine-infested; free pass (self-inclusive)
  • Cyan - 1 mine-infested country is bordering this country (self-inclusive)
  • Lime - 2 mine-infested countries are bordering this country (self-inclusive)
  • Yellow - 3 mine-infested countries are bordering this country (self-inclusive)
  • Orange - 4 mine-infested countries
  • Red - 5 mine-infested countries
  • Magenta - 6 mine-infested countries
  • Violet - 7 mine-infested countries
  • Blue - 8 mine-infested countries
  • Teal - 9 mine-infested countries
  • Green- 10 mine-infested countries
  • Olive- 11 mine-infested countries
  • Chocolate- 12 mine-infested countries
  • Crimson- 13 mine-infested countries
  • Purple- 14 mine-infested countries
  • Indigo- 15 mine-infested countries
  • Navy- 16 mine-infested countries (non-applicable)
Some more interesting colors:
  • Black- Game Over! You got this country incorrect!
  • White- You got this country correct!

Once you've figured out which countries have mines, type each mine countries' names in the text box below (Opposite to Standard Minesweeper). If you accidentally dig into a lava pit or you run out of time, then you will immediately lose the game and you'll have to restart. But if you name all mine countries correctly, then you will be given a code to type in the text box. The code will allow you to truly win and add to your statistics.
Since I'm very mistake-prone, I'm first going through an "In Testing" phase before my final publication. If you find an error, tell me in the comments where I went wrong.

This puzzle is more synonymous with Fill-a-pix (search it up if you're confused about the rules) than it is minesweeper.

I see that you have corrected some more. However, Bulgaria is Cyan but it has North Macedonia AND Greece with mines, so it should be green :)

Geez, how did I manage to mess up so badly?!

I'll try to add a flag-mine functionality if this becomes relevant, that could potentially fix the typein issue

I wouldn't say mess up, it is a lot to manage, so it would be weird if there weren't any mistakes :D

I think this has a big potential! :)

Epic idea! But I started with south korea on green, and so entered that, North Korea stayed yellow, and South Korea disappeared fully. Also, North Korea wasn't an answer or mistake I think, as China made me fail immediately. And how can the US be adjacent to 3, if canada and mexico are only adjacent to 1? Are the colors even supposed to change the same as they did in the other quizzes in this series?

Algeria should be yellow

Libya should be orange

China has one more neighbour with mines than its colour says

Canada and mexico should be lime

Iraq should be yellow

Kuwait should be cyan

It's not mentioned that the Gibraltar-Spain border, France-Netherlands border and Greenland-Canada borders are not included

Samoa is a right answer but It shows the wrong screen when I type it in.
