How Mastermind Works: There are two players: the code maker and the code breaker A code consists of a number of coloured pegs At the start, the code maker creates a secret code The aim of the game is for the code breaker to break the code within 12 attempts They can do this by making a guess, which they are given feedback on by the code maker The feedback consists of a number of black and white pegs. A black peg means that one of the pegs in the guess was the correct colour and in the correct location. A white peg means that one of the pegs in the guess was the correct colour, but it was in the wrong location. Good luck!
