Code-Breaker: Printable Secret Code Logic Game for Two Players
Children play a classic deduction game on paper. The codemaker hides four different symbols and the codebreaker guesses, using pegs that show right symbol, right place or right symbol, wrong place. Training puzzles prove only one code fits the clues, then a game board and flap let two agents play for real.
