The latest game available on Dr Mike’s Math Games for Kids is a free online Mastermind game. If you love exercising your brain, but can’t find friends to play mastermind with you, hop over to this Mastermind game and select ‘Human Guesser’. The computer will choose a secret code, and you’ll have 12 chances to figure it out!
After you’ve cracked the computer’s code, you can ask the computer to guess yours. Just select ‘Computer Guesser’, write down your secret code, and click ‘Start’ when you’re ready for the computer to begin guessing.
Better still, introduce the game to your kids or class! Mastermind is a very challenging brain game. It requires a healthy dose of logical thinking skills – and a good memory helps too. Kids who become mastermind experts will have developed in both of these areas.
If you’ve been looking for a mastermind boxed set (to play when the computer is down, for example) Amazon.com has a huge range available.
