## What is Real Code Breaker Mastermind?

Mastermind is a mind game that puts you in the position of a master code breaker: a secret code is given, and you must figure it out using guesses and the hints provided on the puzzle.


Real Code Breaker is based on the classic board game that is also known as Mastermind, Master Mind, Code Puzzle game and Bulls & Cows.


Features:
- BOARDS: 480 free puzzles. All boards are free!
- DIFFICULTIES: 3 difficulties: Easy, Medium and Hard. The harder the bigger the secret code is - extra challenge!
- MODES: on medium you will face repeated colors, while on hard you will face both repeated colors and empty pins.
- AUTO-SAVE: match is always automatically saved so you can continue later your master mind match.
- SIMPLE: easy and intuitive interface.


How to Play:


On each round you have to make a guess using colored pegs to try to solve the secret code, and you will get hints based on how well your guess was. For each pin that was an exact match you will get a Black hint pin. For each color that you got the color right, but is on the wrong position, you get a White hint pin.


By analyzing and comparing past rounds you will improve your code breaking guess continually until you figure out the full secret code.


Enjoy another brain puzzle from the makers of the Real Jigsaw hit and several other brain challenging games such as Real Einstein's Riddle, Real Nonogram and Gridbreaker. Real Mastermind was freshly released on April, 2015.

### 5/5 — Great challenging game

*2025-08-06*

Having played super mastermind in my youth, this is just like it and just what I was looking for. I love the fact that it has no ads and has simple too hard puzzles. Seems to be quick and easy to use. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Best mastermind out there

*2025-02-18*

I really like this game. I wish there were more than 160 puzzles. Ive played all the way thru and then started over 5-6 times.

### 3/5 — Great game but need one improvement

*2024-12-11*

After finishing the game , there must be way to check how we played. Game should be saved. Now if I click on finished level, it opens new game which is not useful. I want o analyze on what moves I made mistakes in my won game. Kindly implement this and I’m ready to pay and purchase for this

### 5/5 — Johnjeans

It’s excellent!

### 3/5 — Bug preventing guessing pins correctly….

*2023-12-17*

This is a great game , however the game has bugs which make it almost impossible to guess the pins correctly - if you were to follow the instructions of the game. 

The game rules say if a pin turns black then you have guessed the color and the spot correctly. If a pin turns white then you’ve guessed the color correctly but it the wrong spot. 

While playing the game I have had 3 white and 1 black pin. I then move three colors to see which pin is black. After exhausting all combinations I move the final color that is the black pin (because it has stayed black through moving all other colors) and suddenly I complete the combination and none of the colors are in any of the original spots that the game gave me one black pin (which indicates I had one color in the correct spot). 

So, if you follow the directions of the game, and only look at the white and black pins, you’ll never complete the combos because the white and black pins do not follow the rules of the game…pretty much you just need to keep trying all different color combinations until you get it right. 

Hopefully the developer will fix this problem and then the game will be more enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Actually there is an answer

*2023-11-08, version 1.0.0*

5 star

### 1/5 — 😡😡😡

*2023-10-08, version 1.0.0*

Bad keeps directing me to game store

### 4/5 — I like it

*2023-04-02*

Its fun when I play it but it doesn’t work when I open it for a minute.

### 1/5 — Diff than the board game

*2023-01-25, version 1.0.0*

Why can’t anybody make the game just like it was originally?  I want the original Super Mastermind game, 8 colours, 5 spaces. Empty space option, duplicate colour option. That’s it! That’s all we need!

### 5/5 — Fun play

*2022-03-12, version 1.0.0*

A simple to play thinker - great time waster ;-)
As soooo nice not the have an annoying stream of ads or a need for connectivity  - thank you
