# How do I find a bomb?

During game play, you will see squares on the field with numbers in them. These numbers tell how many bombs are in the squares adjacent to the number.

Use the numbers to determine the location of a bomb. Sometimes, the numbers leave you all the evidence you need to find the bomb. For example, note the lowermost "1" in the picture below. There is only 1 unrevealed square surrounding this spot, so the "1" bomb being referred to must be in that unrevealed square.
