Password Cracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
A hacker is at the edge of breaking an important security system and a code set. A password appears and it is the final challenge to hack the system. Find the combination of the code but be careful you have limited guesses. The game is a spinoff of a board game called "Mastermind" and there is a combination of colors set before each time you play the game and you try to guess it with limited tries. As a master at this game we advise to find the colors first and then their positions however hacking can't be done in a single way. Good luck.
CipherStreet
Read full descriptionHide full description
CipherStreet is a story-driven puzzle game where every level is a real cryptographic cipher - from Caesar shifts to RSA public keys - wrapped in a cold-war spy thriller. Intercept encoded messages. Decode them with on-screen tools you discover, not tutorials you sit through. Unlock fragments of a decades-spanning conspiracy with every cipher you crack. By the end of ten chapters you'll have genuinely internalised the foundations of modern cryptography - roughly the first four weeks of a university course — without a single lecture. THE STORY A defector known only as The Architect has built a private intelligence network hidden inside ever more sophisticated ciphers. Your handler, Agent Kovács, sends each intercept with minimal context and maximum urgency. A mole. A missing codebook. A name that keeps reappearing across fifty years. Crack the codes before dawn. TEN CHAPTERS, TEN REAL CIPHERS • Caesar cipher: frequency analysis • Vigenère: the pattern inside the pattern • Rail Fence: transposition • Enigma (simplified): the crib attack that broke a war • Playfair: grid geometry • One-Time Pad: the perfect, unbreakable lock • Diffie-Hellman: sharing a secret in public • RSA: math as a lock • Hash functions: integrity, not secrecy • Steganography: messages hidden in plain sight WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Learn by doing: tools are discovered through play, never explained at you • Real, historically accurate cryptography, all running offline on your device • A genuine spy narrative with characters, twists, and a finale that recasts everything • No punishing fail states: get a cipher wrong and the story simply waits • Build and share your own encrypted intercepts; challenge friends to crack them FREE TO START Chapters 1–2 are completely free, no account required. A single one-time purchase unlocks chapters 3–10 and every cipher type in the Builder. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. The cipher is never the weakest link. The human always is.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Password Cracker at none against CipherStreet's 1. Password Cracker also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). CipherStreet's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
