This timer app has been created to acoustically enhance the game play experience for the co-operative real-time board game “X-Code”. It replaces the sand timer enclosed in the game box. You have 3 minutes to win the game and protect the computer systems from the virus. Authentic sound effects heighten the dramatic effect. • ADVANTAGES Compared to the sand timer enclosed in the game, the timer is accurate to the split of a second and its sound effects let you know when you are running out of time. An “explosion” will occur if you exceed the given time. • ADDITIONAL FEATURE Advanced players may select “Mission Red”. • ABOUT THE BOARDGAME Number of players: 2-8 Duration: approx. 15 minutes Ages: 10 and up A secret institution from the Darknet has struck and released a computer virus. If the virus becomes activated, all data from the internet will disappear and be lost forever. You and your team of fellow hackers are the last hope to prevent this worldwide disaster. Time is running out … “X-Code” is a co-operative real-time board game by well-known game designer Kasper Lapp. You all play simultaneously. You have three minutes to break the 12-character code. It is possible to gain extra time, but you will only succeed through great speed and excellent communication. Save the world from total downfall! Step by step, players can unlock additional missions. At the beginning of the game, these are kept in top secret lockers and can only be released by a lock-and-key mechanism. Each new mission provides new challenges. The “X-Code” timer app was created in 2018 in co-operation between DIGIDICED and AMIGO Spiel + Freizeit GmbH.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Amigo X at every 3 weeks against Awkward Guests's every 6 months. Amigo X also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Awkward Guests's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (23 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Awkward Guests holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Awkward Guests has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Awkward Guests's written reviews are positive against 50% of Amigo X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Awkward Guests ships an update every 6 months, Amigo X every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
