Updated | By The Drive with Rob and Roz
This TikTok has been blowing people's minds!
Let us transport you back to a simpler time.

You're a teenager who finally got the chance to get on to the family computer and the first thing you do is start playing the classic games that were already installed upon purchase of said computer.
From pinball to solitaire, growing up in the 2000s there was a world of excitement waiting as soon as it was your chance for allocated screentime.
One game that has caused confusion for possibly generations is Minesweeper.

The seemingly simple game had one objective - uncover all the tiles that do not have bombs and avoid blowing one up.
But seeing as these games didn't come with any instructions, we were left to figure it all out for ourselves and as it turns out, up until the year 2023, many teens (now adults) have only just realised how the game should be played.

In a TikTok video with over 4.5-million views, Paisley very carefully explains how you should not just be clicking anywhere on the screen and instead, there is a method to the madness.
You can watch her full explanation below:

While this might seem obvious to many, most of her comments were full of people saying they just used to click until they exploded.
Some people in the comments are confused and still trying to figure it out. Seeing as this is the most calm and thorough explanation, this might just not be the game for them.

Finally, like many others triggered by the nostalgia of it all, some even went and downloaded the game so they can now enjoy it in the manner it was intended.
So thank you to Paisley for taking the time to explain Minesweeper to a bunch of 30-year-olds like they are two-years-old!
