The Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Game of Wits code to the safe is solved by a Mak-Yek board game, similar to checkers but not so close to it that it won't baffle the average player at first glance who just wants to crack the safe and make off with the loot. With you creeping around Voss' base, this is clearly something you need to work out soon or risk getting captured by Nazis.

If you want help solving this, I'll explain how to complete the puzzle "A Game of Wits" in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle below, with info on what the rules are and how you get the code. If you're worried about being spotted during this, I suggest you take a small detour and grab the Indiana Jones Royal Army uniform from its hiding spot nearby.

How to get the Game of Wits safe code in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Lorenzo’s challenge, which kicks off the A Game of Wits mystery in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, tasks you with capturing all the red tokens by moving four different blue tokens only once each.

The rules sheet next to the board explains that pieces can move horizontally or vertically any distance until they hit a board edge or another piece. Additionally, enemy pieces are captured when they are surrounded on opposite sides by your pieces or you fill a one-square gap between two enemy pieces. The other key thing to bear in mind, which isn’t explicitly stated, is that captured pieces are removed from the board. That means you must imagine the red tokens disappear when captured, freeing up nearby blue tokens, which is crucial to getting the order of the code numbers correct.

With all that in mind, you can imagine moving the blue tokens as above and looking at their final positions against the row numbers on the sides of the board to get the A Game of Wits safe code 3186 in Indiana Jones.

  1. F1 moves up to F3, capturing E3 and G3 = 3
  2. H1 moves left to D1, capturing C1 = 1
  3. B1 moves up to B8, capturing A8, C8, D8, and E8 = 8
  4. F8 moves down to F6, capturing F5 and F4 = 6

Now you can enter that code into the safe almost directly behind the Mak-Yek board to complete A Game of Wits and bag 250 Adventure Points. More importantly, you’ll also get 195 baht, which goes nicely towards buying the rebreather if you’re yet to get that. While you’re skulking around Voss’ base, it’s a good idea to look out for the Indiana Jones Serpent’s Chest too.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle features a great variety of puzzles to solve across all the destinations and between action set pieces, which makes it one of the best adventure games you can play right now.
