Secret Code 13+4
Crack the museum's light barriers by juggling dice and arithmetic.
Who it's for
You have kids who need a reason to practice mental math, or you like quick number puzzles that feel more like a heist than homework.
Not for you if…
Math makes you groan or you want a game with lots of interaction and storytelling. The fun here is pure number juggling.
Vibe's take
Brisk and brainy: you stare at a handful of dice, try combinations in your head and shout when you spot the match. The pace stays high because everybody is calculating at once.
About this game
You are a secret agent breaking into a museum, and the only thing between you and the Amun Re mask is a series of light barriers. To cross each one, you roll dice and combine the numbers with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing until the result matches the code number. The first agent past all the barriers wins. It is a number puzzle dressed up as a spy mission, and it works for kids who like arithmetic and for adults who like quick mental tricks. A game takes about fifteen minutes, and everyone plays at the same time, so there is little waiting.
