How to play Code Breaker

The same walkthrough the table opens with — you can replay it in the game at any time.

Welcome to Code Breaker

A hidden row of coloured pegs is waiting behind the row of question marks. Your job is to name it exactly.

Build a guess

Tap colours to fill the row — repeats are allowed — then press Check. Undo takes the last peg back off.

Read the two numbers

The green number counts pegs that are the right colour in the right place. The amber one counts pegs of a colour that is in the code, but not where you put it.

That's it!

Change one thing at a time and the numbers tell you what it was worth. Online, both players race the same code.

Code Breaker: questions

Is Code Breaker free to play here?

Yes. Code Breaker is free to play on PlayTable, and playing against the AI does not even need an account.

What do I need to play Code Breaker?

A browser. Code Breaker runs on any modern phone, tablet or computer, and you can add PlayTable to your home screen if you want it to open like an app.

Can I play Code Breaker against friends?

Yes. Sign in with your email, create a lobby, and share the six-character code or the invite link. Everyone plays from their own device, and the match is checked on the server so nobody can see a hand that is not theirs.

I don't know the rules of Code Breaker. Can I learn here?

Yes — Code Breaker opens with a guided tutorial on the real table that points at the real cards, and the steps above are that same walkthrough. It takes about two minutes.
