Build a giant colour code game board and win a code-breaking duel.

Four hidden colours. Ten tries. Every guess earns a clue. Can you crack the code before the board runs out?

  • New skill Building a game board with trapdoor reveals
  • Level 8 · Game Makers
  • Difficulty Advanced
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 40–50 min
  • Ages 13+

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.
