Need help with code stealing/ in game code stealing

Salami_Animates11

Hello!
Im making a game in which you need to find various people, like a treasure hunt but I want to make one to be found with a very complicated process that you learn later on in the game. However, I don't want people to just peek in and get it early, anyway I can stop that? Maybe like making it so they cant play or wtv.
Even then, for things one would need to get via an actual typeable code is there a way to jumble it up with some code so people cant get it early aswell? I've seen @tybear2006 do it in his game https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/projects/659184503/ but I just cant seem to wrap my head around it.

There's nothing you can do if you block or hide it in some way it will get taken down, people can either choose to play the game normally or just see inside

try making this final person's information or whatever blocks or costumes give it away behind some other blocks or costumes, or just update the project with the person in the project when you want people to find it. you could also upload it to some other website which I recall can host scratch projects, you just can't see inside them.

please don't comment on my profile in response to something on the forums.

the easiest solution would just to not share your project to the scratch website. if someone were to peek in your project they would be ruining the fun for themselves instead of playing the game as you intended.

I am working on a Scratch port of The Battle Cats; please do contribute!!

Below me is a match of Connect 4.

You could use an encoder and decoder (like a Caesar cypher) to mask the answers. It will never be possible to completely hide the answer since they could put it into the decoder.

The goal here is just to make it look difficult so ppl won’t try cheating.

NOTE: Still keep it understandable / easy enough that ppl will be able to remix so as not to break “remix culture”.
