The computer mastermind has chosen a secret code. Can you crack the code before you run out of guesses? Guess the Code Free HD is the best codebreaker game for the iPad. Your iPad chooses a sequence of colors and you must try to guess the sequence within a specific number of guesses. Guess the Code Free HD includes a host of exciting features, including: * Great graphics and exciting sound effects * Configurable difficulty levels * "Use Letters" mode for colorblind players * Automatic save when you exit the app or receive a phone call If you are a fan of Mastermind, Bulls and Cows, or Vault Breaker, this is the game for you! Guess the Code Free HD is supported by unobtrusive banner advertisements. ------------------------------- Please Note: The result pegs do not correspond directly to the guess pegs. The result pegs tell you the number of guess pegs that are in the right position or are the right color, but not which ones. The code does not change over the course of the game and it is definitely possible to figure out the code in the number of guesses allotted.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Checkers at monthly against Guess the Code HD's every 7 months. Checkers also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Guess the Code HD's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Checkers holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkers has 87K ratings behind it against 112, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Checkers's written reviews are positive against 90% of Guess the Code HD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Checkers ships an update monthly, Guess the Code HD every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
