14 interactive lock types

From a simple 4-digit code to real GPS validation, each lock type creates a completely different experience. Pick the one that fits your scenario.

Numeric code

The timeless classic — enter the right number combination to open the lock.

Pattern unlock

Draw the correct pattern on a grid, just like on a smartphone lock screen.

Directional sequence (4 directions)

Enter the right combination of Up / Down / Left / Right to validate.

Directional sequence (8 directions)

Advanced version with diagonals — for more complex and challenging puzzles.

Color code

Select the correct sequence of colors in the right order to unlock.

Switches (unordered)

Flip the right switches regardless of order — only the final combination matters.

Switches (ordered)

Activate the switches in the exact right order to unlock.

Password

A classic password lock — type in the correct string of characters.

Username + password

Two fields to validate: a username and a password, just like a real login form.

Musical code

Play the correct melody by pressing the keys in the right order.

Virtual geolocation

The user manually enters GPS coordinates to validate their virtual position.

Real geolocation

The lock only opens when the user is physically present at the right location.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free? Are there hidden limitations?

Yes, the free plan is genuinely free — no credit card, no trial period. The only limitation is the number of simultaneously active locks (5). All 14 lock types are available on the free plan.

Do participants need to create an account to play?

No. Your participants receive a link or scan a QR code and play directly in their browser — no sign-up, no download required. That's one of the core advantages of CrackAndReveal.

How do I share my lock with participants?

As soon as your lock is created, CrackAndReveal automatically generates a short link (e.g. crackandreveal.com/o/abc123) and a downloadable QR code. Share via SMS, email, WhatsApp, or display it on a screen.

How many people can try my lock at the same time?

There's no participant limit. Whether it's 5 people or 500, everyone can attempt the lock simultaneously. Attempts are unlimited.

What types of content can I hide behind a lock?

On the free plan: text, URL, image, and custom HTML. On Pro, you can also hide a PDF. The content remains completely invisible until the correct code is entered.

Can I create a multi-step challenge with several linked locks?

Yes, with the Pro plan. The multi-lock feature lets you chain locks together so each solved lock reveals the next clue — perfect for digital escape rooms or treasure hunts.

Does it work on mobile? On all browsers?

Absolutely. CrackAndReveal is built mobile-first. Participants play on their phones without any issues. Compatible with all modern browsers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox — on iOS and Android.
