Mastermind Game

Product Information

Uses numbers instead of colors. The codemaker may optionally give, as an extra clue, the sum of the digits. It doesn’t matter if you are solving the codes one way or another, every strategy asks for effective problem-solving skills. The opponent should look away while the code maker sets up the code pegs behind the secrecy screen. How to Create a Code Hosted by BBC journalist and presenter Clive Myrie since 2021, the new series of Mastermind will see 96 contenders follow the tried and tested formula of facing two minutes of questions on their specialist subject, followed by two and a half minutes on general knowledge. For each color in your guess that is in the correct color but is NOT in the correct position in the code sequence, the computer display a small white color on the right side of the current guess.

For each color in your guess that is in the correct color and correct position in the code sequence, the computer display a small red color on the right side of the current guess.

The commercials shortened the amount of time available for answering questions and lasted just one series. This was also the first to go "interactive". By using the red button viewers could play the general knowledge section throughout the series. These questions had been written specifically to afford both standard and multiple-choice format in presentation. There was a one-off competition between the four highest scoring viewers.

The code breaker takes the hint to figure out how accurate their guessed combination was and narrow down the possibilities. If there are duplicate colors in the guess, they cannot all be awarded a key peg unless they correspond to the same number of duplicate colors in the hidden code. For example, if the hidden code is red-red-blue-blue and the player guesses red-red-red-blue, the codemaker will award two colored key pegs for the two correct reds, nothing for the third red as there is not a third red in the code, and a colored key peg for the blue. No indication is given of the fact that the code also includes a second blue. [10]Mastermind International – BBC One London – 7 April 1980". BBC Genome Project . Retrieved 7 November 2014.
