Mastermind 2 Game
Welcome to Mastermind 2, this challenging game will put your mind to the test! In this game, you'll be tasked with merging numbered tiles to reach the highest possible score. But don't be fooled by its simple premise - with each move, new tiles will appear, and you'll need to think ahead and strategize your moves carefully to keep the game going.
It's A Numbers Game
The premise of the game is simply addition. You have to drop block of 2s to add up to the largest possible multiple of 2. You can add up to blocks as high as 32,768 (my personal best) and beyond.
The Goal is to get the highest possible score
We have a reward for whoever can beat the high score by the dev team, email us at [email protected] with your high score to claim your reward.

Creating Mastermind 2
The Story behind Mastermind 2
Mastermind 2 started as a side project for one of PPLELAB's dev teams. There was an internal friendly competition within the team for a similar game which was based on popular soccer teams. After the game was discontinued, the team decided to take matters into their own hand and create a similar game.
About This Project
Mastermind 2 is cross-platform game application built with Flutter 3.7.4 and Flame Engine. It is optimized for Android. and iOS devices. Google Admob is also integrated into it for monetization with banner and rewarded video ads.
There were 3 people on the project, including a project manager, a UX designer and a Developer. PPLELABS allocated a budget of a $00 to the project as a team building exercise and also encouraged them to monetize the game with ads.
Project Manager
The project manager's role was to create an execution plan, manage the project resources and list the game.
Designer
The designer's role was to design the UI, logic and graphic elements of the game and test for QA of the game.
Developer
The developer's role was to write the code for the game and integrate monetization (Admob) to the game.
Challenges
- Creating a very lean game (4 screens max)
- Prioritizing the developers time and resources
- Marketing the game on a stringent budget
Results
Conclusion
The app has performed relatively well considering that marketing was completely organic. We will release on Android shortly which we expect should boost our ratings dramatically. Also there's has been lots of feedback from users particularly requesting we create a Leaderboard so they can know how high their friends score and try to beat them.
