Secret Colors

Play Secret Colors free online. Deduce the hidden colour code from black and white feedback pins.

A classic code-breaking board game. The computer hides a row of coloured pegs. After each guess, black pins show colours in the right place and white pins show right colours in the wrong place. Crack the code before your guesses run out.
