About

Code Breaker Ring is a code breaking game of logic and memory. (Similar in style to the classic game Mastermind by Invicta)

Your aim is to crack the code fast enough to get a high score and make it onto our Master Code Breakers list.

Rules

You get unlimited attempts at breaking the code. If you get frustrated you can always click I give up (top left corner of board) and the code will be revealed to you.

The Code Breaker code is made up of 6 colours from the 8 available colours. To win you must place the right marbles in the right order. After each attempt you will be told how you went.

• White marble - Means that there is one of your marbles in the code but not in the right place.
• Black marble - Means that there is one of your marbles in the code and in the right place.

The answer marbles are not in any particular order and don't line up with your code marbles.

Playing the Game

Code Breaker Ring has been designed to be easy to play on any browser as well as touch sensitive devices such as tablets and smartboards.

The current hole is highlighted with a blue ring. To place a marble, select the colour you want from the available colours at the bottom of the board. When you are happy, click Accept. Your current status will be evaluated. The ring moves to the next hole and you are free to have your next attempt. Keep going until you crack the code.

To play a new game simply click New Game to the right of the board game..

Scoring

Similar games don't have scoring but some of our visitors are competitive so we thought we'd add a bit of fun. You'll notice our Master Code Breakers list to your right.

Scoring is quite simple and is as follows. The game is timed from when you first select a coloured marble.

• Each second you take to discover the Code Breaker code is 1 point.
• Each attempt at cracking the code adds 30 points to your score.

As you can see, it's not just a matter of how quick you can be but also how few attempts at cracking the code as well. The lower the score the better.

Get cracking and hopefully we'll see your name on the board sometime soon.

(Note: Code Breaker is similar to Mastermind but is in no way affiliated or connected to Mastermind. If you enjoy our game and would like to purchase a physical version try starting here.)
