Codebreakers may look boring, dumb, or you may even think, “Oh, no, a dumb game with no points.” This is a good game, even without very much action. It helps with your thinking skills. I LOVE this game.
Game objective
Break the code before you run out of guesses.
How to play
The instructions on the site are very confusing, so I will simplify them:
- You start out with four red codestones, right? Change them by clicking them with your mouse.
- Hit the button that is labeled GO.
- Keep going with steps one and two until you guess the code.
Codestones and the colors
There are six codestones to guess from:
- The first is red colored.
- The second is white like salt.
- The third is yellowish tan.
- The fourth is orange-ish.
- The fifth is a nasty purple.
- The sixth is lime green.
What are the marks?
On your first guess, you guess, then click go. After you hit go, there will be little white or black marks, or no marks at all where “GO” was.
- The black marks mean you have the right color, right spot.
- The white marks mean you have the right color, wrong spot.
- No marks, or missing marks mean wrong color and spot.
If you have all the colors right, but the wrong spots, you will have four marks.
Effective ways of playing
I play in this way and I’ve only lost when I’ve lost my will to win the game.
- When you start playing, you see all four red stones, so hit GO.
- Look where “GO” was on your last turn. Are there any marks? Keep however many reds as there are black marks, then change the rest to white.
- Hit go. If there are any white or black marks, keep the same amount of red stones, and keep the added number white.
- Keep going, and most likely you’ll win! 🙂
On this game, all you need is to be pretty good at thinking. It’s really easy once you get the hang of it. You usually get 100 neopoints or more when you first start out, and as you get better, the points go up!
Try this game, You’ll love it.
