Question 1

What is CodeBreaker?

Accepted Answer

CodeBreaker is a logic deduction game where you must find a hidden 4-digit code. After each guess you receive Bulls (correct digit, correct position) and Cows (correct digit, wrong position) as feedback. Use elimination to narrow down the answer.

Question 2

What are Bulls and Cows?

Accepted Answer

Bulls means a digit in your guess is correct AND in the right position. Cows means a digit is in the code but in the wrong position. Use this feedback to systematically eliminate possibilities until you find the code.

Question 3

What year group is CodeBreaker for?

Accepted Answer

CodeBreaker is designed for Year 6 students (ages 10-11) but is suitable for anyone who enjoys logic puzzles. It builds systematic thinking, elimination reasoning and mathematical deduction skills.

Question 4

How is Puzzle Mode different from Classic Mode?

Accepted Answer

In Puzzle Mode you start with 2-3 pre-played guesses already shown on the board. This gives you a head start and forces you to use the existing feedback to deduce what you already know before making your own guesses.

Question 5

What is the Deduction Tracker?

Accepted Answer

The Deduction Tracker (available in Strategy Mode) shows confirmed digits, eliminated digits, possible positions for each digit, and how many valid codes remain. It makes your logical reasoning visible and helps you plan your next guess.
