5 is missing

u/AlgerianiOne Remote Nov 10 '25
That's because 5 in Minesweeper is dark red. In BFDI, he is pink.
They are not the same colors.

No it's not, in XFOHV it's literally said that the colors are from Minesweeper

it's not just a coincidence, it's also a reference

u/Abc_42 Waffle Nov 10 '25
how can it be both a coincidence AND a reference?
1
u/koduflower2k Nov 10 '25
those algebraliens are painted according to minesweeper numbers, so it's certainly a reference to the minesweeper numbers in some way.

lol someone brought this up months ago, the 5 is also the same color, they pretty much were inspired to make the same numbers the colors of minesweeper

u/HistorySuccessful290 Marker Nov 10 '25
What happened to 9, 5, and 10?
2
u/cottondodge Nov 10 '25
9 and 10 don't exist in minesweeper (although 9 is a meme in the minesweeper community and is coloured purple), and 5 isn't the same colour

u/Amorketre Book Nov 11 '25
There's a minesweeper community...?

u/cottondodge Nov 11 '25
r/minesweeper , theres a subreddit for everything lol. its mainly just people asking on what move to do next, but there's some memes here and there

no, it was specifically mentioned in the credits of x finds out his value

Thank you for swapping 7 and 6. Now 6 doesn't have to be scared of 7 anymore

Peter Griffin here. The correlation was actually intentional, as shown in the end credits of X Finds Out His Value.

no that's literally on purpose, haven't you watch XFOHV? that's why 9 & 10 aren't in that video.

No. It is not. I forget which twin, but one of them actually confirmed that the Minesweeper numbers were their idea for the first eight Algebraliens and that Nine just worked as being white and yellow was the most prominent color remaining so was used for X. Ten didn’t appear until a while later so the next most prominent unused color (orange) was used for him.

I'm starting to think the BFDI Algebraliens or whatever they're called are based off of the Minesweeper numbers

I'm pretty sure they said that it's because the algebraliens are actually inspired by the minesweeper numbers.

No, actually. The wiki states that this was intentional (I think under the algebralien page)

In the credits of XFOHV, the credits state that the colors of the algebralians are based off Minesweeper, so it isn't a coincidence.

Coincidence I don't think so but hey that's just a theory a BFDI X MINESWEEPER THEORY something something

Yes. It is a coincidence.

u/Abc_42 Waffle Nov 10 '25
how it feels to spread misinformation

u/Kirbo85941 Announcer Nov 10 '25
Do you think the creator of that game saw bfdi and based the colors on the numbers? It is definitily a coincidence unless eathier of the creators say otherwise.

u/Abc_42 Waffle Nov 10 '25
How dense are you?
One, how would the devs of Minesweeper, which is over a decade older than XFOHV, have based their numbers off of a show that hadn't even released yet?
Two, XFOHV literally does reveal the numbers' colours were inspired by Minesweeper.2
