About the Game

In Hex Code, players take the role of computer hackers competing to break into each others' computer the quickest. Each turn players hack their way into their target's firewall by placing shapes dependent on the roll of dice. Once the firewall grid has started to fill, players can start guessing their target's password. If the player's six-letter guess contains any characters in the correct position, the target must say so; however, if a player's guess shares similarities to their target's security layer or firewall code, they trigger a trap. The target can immediately connect a node on their microchip, eventually allowing them to discern individual letters in their target's password. Overload firewalls, rewire microchips, and catch people in security traps to guess your target's password and prove you're the fastest hacker around!

Hex Code is a free-to-play printable game designed during the COVID-19 crisis, and will remain available here and through the publisher's website forever, with continued support.
