The mission panel contains all important information about the current style (→Styles) or mission (→Missions).

It is displayed at the center of the screen for a short time at the beginning of a game. In missions and styles, the mission panel might also be changed and displayed again at a later time.

The mission panel can be reviewed at any time by pressing the mission panel key (M). The quit key (Esc) or pause key (P) work as well.

In missions, the mission panel usually shows you the current task and maybe some hints for the easier missions.

In multiplayer games, the mission panel shows the most important rules and contains vital information. The timer of mines can also be seen here, unless the mines have the default time (3 seconds).

If there is nothing special about the current game, there might also be no mission panel at all.
