Go ahead and download the app, it won't bite, and while you're waiting you can read about the game!
Bagels is a turn-based multiplayer game à la Words With Friends. You take your turn whenever you have a free second, then we tell your opponent. When it's your turn again, we let you know about it! The gameplay is as follows:
Both you and your opponent choose a three digit number. You spend your turns trying to guess your opponent's number and vice versa. Don't worry, though, you've got some help. After each guess, we'll tell you if you were hot or cold. Actually, we'll do you one better. We'll tell you "Fermi", "Pico", or "Bagels". Fermi means that one of your guessed digits was correct AND in the correct spot, Pico means that one of your digits was correct but NOT in the correct spot, and Bagels means that none of your digits were correct. That's all there is to it!
Of course, that's not all there is to it. You can play as many games simultaneously with as many different players as your heart desires! We'll keep track of your victories (and how many guesses it takes you) and post the high (and of course, for number of guesses, low) scores on our leaderboards so you can see where you rank! If you're tired of waiting for friends (or strangers) to take their turns, you can practice your skills in Single Player mode and track your progress in Game Center!
Okay, I'm sure it's done downloading by now. (If not, you might want to look into a faster internet connection!) Stop reading and go play!

Fun game

I learned this game in HS and have fun playing it with some old buddies, but I have one problem with it. You don't have a chance to choose a last number if your opponent wins. Example being if your opponent guesses your number in 5 attempts, and you've only made 4 guesses, you should get one more chance to guess their number. The game would then end in a tie. I think that's the fair way to play it. At least that's how I originally learned it.
Great game....one problem

I, too, learned this game back in the 70s during high school (on paper) and have played it religiously ever since. However, one crucial rule has been omitted from your instructions as well as your programming: NO digits in the number can repeat. For example, a player may not choose 553 for the opponent to guess. Each digit must be different, otherwise using the process of elimination with the clues loses it's meaning! I hope you correct this soon.
