FAQ – The Code

Game Setup

Is setup complicated?

Not at all. No installation, no app, no phone. The guide walks you through in 10–15 minutes.

Do we need internet?

Yes. Stable (and preferably fast) internet connection is essential to play the game.

Do we need a big TV?

Not exactly. However, if you want to fully enjoy the game, it is strongly recommended that you play the game on a large screen with a sound system.

Do I need any special equipment?

No. You’ll only need everyday items you can easily find at home, like a tape, glass, and rubber bands. If you purchased the Mission Pi Mega edition, the guide explains you how to easily assemble the decorations, labels and posters that come with the box. If you only purchased the Mission Pi Digital (online access only without box), you will be provided with cut-out pieces for the DIY model.

Gameplay

How many players is ideal?

Theoretically, even two people can play. However, there are four teams in the game, and 4 to 12 kids is the sweet spot. Larger groups can form more crowded teams.

Can younger or older kids play?

Yes—puzzles include tips for making them easier or harder. However, considering the difficulty level of the puzzles and the interests of children according to their age, the ideal age range is between 8 and 12 years old.

How long does the game last?

Based on our experience to date, we can say that the full adventure lasts approximately 90+ minutes on average. The game experience may be shorter or longer depending on the group.

How difficult are the questions?

The questions cover basic maths, logic and general knowledge topics. Children are free to seek help from the internet and even AI when they get stuck. Characters in the game also provide hints.

What language is it in?

Currently English (other languages may be added in the future).

Can I reuse the game for another party?

Yes, of course. The box and/or digital files remain your property after purchase. However, please note that your digital subscription is valid for a specific period of time.

Safety & Kids

Is the game safe for kids?

Yes. Mission Pi is designed with child-friendly language and activities. No violent or scary content is included. Just mystery.

How active are the physical challenges?

Challenges involve safe, light activities like balancing, tossing a ping-pong ball, or arranging objects. No rough play or risky movements are required. Furthermore, there are no games played by running from room to room inside the house 😉

Can parents join the game?

Yes! Parents can participate as helpers or simply observe. One adult host will be sufficient to guide the flow. Still, we believe that children are amazing beings who can successfully carry out this task on their own.
