Game rules

Objective: Discover the secret colour code within the available number of attempts.

How to play

  1. Use the colour buttons to put together a complete code.
  2. Confirm your attempt to receive clues.
  3. A clue for correct colour and correct position means that spot is right. A clue for only the correct colour means that colour does appear, but in a different position.
  4. Use previous clues to put together your next attempt more cleverly.

End of the game: You win when you guess the complete code. The game ends without a win once all attempts have been used.
