About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your undercover agent mindset ready, because mission 'Amun Re' has just been activated! In Secret Code 13+4, you aren't just a player; you are part of a team of cunning spies attempting the heist of the century: breaking into a museum to recover the legendary Amun Re mask. But don't think it's just a walk in the park; the security system is state-of-the-art and requires a sharp mathematical mind to bypass.

The fun revolves around cracking complex codes using nothing but dice and your quick calculation skills. The challenge is simple in theory but electrifying in practice: you must look at the numbers rolled on the dice and combine them through mathematical operations—whether adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing—so that the final result matches the security code you need to break. It's the kind of game that gets your brain racing as you try to overcome light barriers before the other agents do.

With fast-paced and straightforward gameplay, this game is perfect for those who enjoy mental challenges that don't require hours of rulebook reading. It is ideal for turning a study session into a frantic competition of logic. If you can master the four basic operations with speed, you're halfway to securing the mask for your team. It is a game of mental agility, where a single calculation error could mean the end of your secret mission. Do you have the quick thinking required to become the master of codes?
