Numeric, directional, pattern, password, login, colors, musical, switches, ordered switches, grids and geolocation — 14 mechanics in total, with more planned.
How many attempts does a participant get?
A participant can retry as many times as they want. On the free plan, the total is capped at 30 attempts across your whole account; upgrade to Pro for unlimited attempts.
Is the hidden content secure?
