Master Match

Background
Code-breaking games like Master Match have been popular for quite some time. Requiring little more than a piece of paper and a logical mind, these puzzles are favorites of mathematicians, physicists, cryptographers and other lovers of logic, but are easy enough for anyone to understand and can help teach valuable analytical skills.

In Master Match, one player creates a puzzle, and the other player tries to guess it as quickly as possible, by analyzing the results given by the code creator as to accuracy and position.
The original concept for Master Match comes from Jotto, a game that's been around for hundreds of years. In Jotto, a player creates a word for another player to guess. Code breaking games have been made with colors, numbers, and letters. Games using colors are popular as it can be easier to visualize patterns.
