Crack the Code

This long-distance date is perfect for couples who enjoy quick, strategic games and a bit of friendly competition. The TikTok ā€œCrack the Codeā€ challenge is a simple number-guessing game where one person creates a secret 4-digit code, and the other tries to figure it out based on specific clues. It’s easy, fast-paced, and a fun way to test how well you can outsmart each other.

Instructions

Pick a time that works for both of you; use a time zone converter if needed.

Hop on a video callĀ using Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, or Skype.

Each person creates a secret 4-digit code (completely random).

Take turns guessing each other’s code.

After each guess, the code-maker gives a clue about how many digits are in the correct position:

  • ā€œOne is in the right spotā€
  • ā€œTwo are in the right spotā€
  • ā€œThree are in the right spotā€
  • ā€œNone are in the right spotā€ if no digits are correct

Use these clues to refine your next guess.

Keep taking turns until one of you cracks the code!
