What you’ll build
Build a giant colour code board with a secret code hidden under trapdoors. Take turns setting codes and guessing, using black and white clue pegs, and see who cracks the code in the fewest tries.
Finish line: Your code board is built, two rounds are played and the sharpest code breaker is crowned.
Bonus challenge: Best of 3! Then invent a harder version: 5 slots or 7 colours. How many codes are there now?
You’ll need
- 6 wool colours
- Black and white concrete
- Trapdoors
- Someone to duel
You choose
- My game's name
- My 6 code colours
- Repeats allowed? Yes / No
Stuck?
- Use wooden trapdoors for the reveal. Iron ones need redstone to open.
- Clue pegs never show which slot is right. Place them in a fixed order so they give nothing away.
- Unsure of the rules? Play one quick round on paper first.
