Minesweeper ticks a lot of the Berlin interpretation boxes.
I think this is even somewhat uncontroversial, just that considered as such it's pretty shallow. Lots of 7DRL entries take minesweeper elements, and Shiren 5 includes minesweeper levels called "Explosion Rocks" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nAXgSiKotQ) in the same way many traditional roguelikes have sokoban levels.
