About

KOD4

Features
Read full description

KOD4 is a real-time 1v1 strategy game built on the classic "bulls and cows" number-guessing logic. How to Play Each player picks a secret 4-digit number (four different digits, and it can't start with 0). You take turns guessing your opponent's number. After each guess, you get a clue: + means a right digit in the right position, - means a right digit in the wrong position. The first player to crack the opponent's number wins. Real-Time Gameplay Follow your opponent's moves live as they happen. Every turn is timed, so think fast and guess smart. If your connection drops, reconnect within a minute and the match picks up right where you left off. Quick Matches and Private Rooms Tap Play Now to get matched with an opponent in seconds (a bot steps in if no one is free), or create a private room for 2 to 4 players and invite friends with its 4–5 character room code. In 3- or 4-player rooms, a player whose number is cracked is knocked out, and the last one standing wins. Social Features Add friends, chat in-game, and keep the rivalry going on the friends leaderboard and the global ranking. Progress and Rewards Every win earns you points. Watch rewarded ads for bonus points and climb the leaderboard. Every point and bonus is counted exactly once. 14 Languages Supported Turkish, English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, and Portuguese. The privacy policy and terms of use open in the language you choose. Account Options Play instantly as a guest, or sign in with Apple, Google, or email to save your stats permanently. When you change your password or sign out, your sessions on other devices end immediately. Pick your secret number and start the hunt.
