## What is Hack RUN 3?

It's TIME for a THIRD Hack Run!

Note: 'Hack RUN 3 - Hack Time' is the third installment in the Hack RUN series. You should play 'Hack RUN' before starting this game.

Once again, your mission is to penetrate a strange organization’s infrastructure to discover their secrets. Your employer needs help discovering who is out to get her and she only trusts you to take on this perilous mission. Hack Time uses old-school prompts (like DOS and UNIX) to access virtual programs and systems. Gain access to users’ files and emails to discover new ways to dig deeper and deeper. 

Hack Time includes these newly developed interface enhancements:

GAME CENTER SUPPORT
Earn achievements and track your leaderboard score against other players.

CONVENIENT MAIN-MENU POPUP
Enables you to access important content quickly.

CONFIGURE TEXT & BACKGROUND COLORS
Choose from black, white and green.

PERSONAL NOTEPAD
Keep track of where you’ve been with the built-in notepad.

Additional enhancements:
> More “substantial” levels. Earn your way to the final goal.
> Two new modes of communication to “interface” with users. 
> More levels than in Hack RUN or in Hack Run ZERO. 
> Added 'font' command to change the font size.

Stuck on a level? Just use the 'hint' or 'answer' commands to help you along.

*** Make sure to play the FOURTH and FIFTH games called Hack NET and Hack WATCH after you finish this one! ***

### 1/5 — Please fix the bug

*2025-11-17*

Can’t type anything in the web

### 3/5 — Sadly unplayable

*2025-06-13*

This is a great concept and a lot of fun but this simply doesn’t work on iOS. The keyboard overrides to default and instead of letting me type in the web browser or notes, will only type in the command bar. I imagine it would work wonderfully on PC and be an awesome game but it just doesn’t work for iPhone I guess.

### 1/5 — Unable to finish

*2025-01-20*

I was unable to enter a URL for level 12.

### 1/5 — Has same bug as hack zero

*2024-05-04*

Cannot use website or notes as the text writes in console and not in the pop up. Need to fix

### 3/5 — I love you but...

*2019-02-28, version 5.2*

I’m a big fan of the Hack Run series, you guys are awesome.... however this third run has a bug on iPhone X. Every time I use my notepad and exit, I cannot longer see the end of the text (it’s blocked by the keyboard) which makes it impossible to continue playing cause I can’t see what I’m typing. My workaround is to go to the menu and click on txt messages, then exit for the screen to reset itself. But I use the notepad a lot and I’m already very annoyed. 

Once you fix it, you’ll have my 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Awesome text based hacker game!

*2017-05-02*

This had me up for hours!  Granted some of the hacking passwords and guessing can be very tough, all you need to do is type hint or answer and it gives you the answer or hint to move on.  70+ levels!  Phew. That was cool. If this author actually put a photo of her phDDs at the end of game I'd prob pay more money.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-04-09*

Very great game series for people interested in a puzzle/mystery/computer game. I'm addicted

### 1/5 — Dude

*2017-03-25*

This isn't real I bet barely people can use this!!

### 5/5 — Intense third game in the series

*2016-08-30*

Great storyline and puzzles. Nice enhancements to the interface for iPhone 6 as well. All around awesome games to play! Getting the 4th now...

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-08-06, version 5.0*

It's a great game. I love it really. Unfortunately I'm currently stuck and don't know what to do. Haha
