What Makes Hack RUN 3 – Hack Time Stand Out
It’s TIME for a THIRD Hack Run!
Note: ‘Hack RUN 3 – Hack Time’ is the third installment in the Hack RUN series. You should play ‘Hack RUN’ before starting this game.
Once again, your mission is to penetrate a strange organization’s infrastructure to discover their secrets. Your employer needs help discovering who is out to get her and she only trusts you to take on this perilous mission. Hack Time uses old-school prompts (like DOS and UNIX) to access virtual programs and systems. Gain access to users’ files and emails to discover new ways to dig deeper and deeper.
Hack Time includes these newly developed interface enhancements:
GAME CENTER SUPPORT
Earn achievements and track your leaderboard score against other players.
CONVENIENT MAIN-MENU POPUP
Enables you to access important content quickly.
CONFIGURE TEXT & BACKGROUND COLORS
Choose from black, white and green.
PERSONAL NOTEPAD
Keep track of where you’ve been with the built-in notepad.
Additional enhancements:
> More “substantial” levels. Earn your way to the final goal.
> Two new modes of communication to “interface” with users.
> More levels than in Hack RUN or in Hack Run ZERO.
> Added ‘font’ command to change the font size.
Stuck on a level? Just use the ‘hint’ or ‘answer’ commands to help you along.
*** Make sure to play the FOURTH and FIFTH games called Hack NET and Hack WATCH after you finish this one! ***

Community Insight:
This is a great concept and a lot of fun but this simply doesnt work on iOS. The keyboard overrides to default and instead of letting us type in the web browser or notes, will only type in the command bar. We imagine it would work wonderfully on PC and be an awesome game but it just doesnt work for iPhone we guess.
This had us up for hours! Granted some of the hacking passwords and guessing can be very tough, all you need to do is type hint or answer and it gives you the answer or hint to move on. 70+ levels! Phew. That was cool. If this author actually put a photo of her phDDs at the end of game we’d prob pay more money.
Very great game series for people interested in a puzzle/mystery/computer game. We’re addicted.
Great storyline and puzzles. Nice enhancements to the interface for iPhone 6 as well. All around awesome games to play! Getting the 4th now.
This isn’t real we bet barely people can use this.
It’s a great game. We love it really. Unfortunately we’re currently stuck and don’t know what to do. Haha.
We love this and the prior 2 games. We’re super excited to get the forth in about 5 minutes. Something we would like to request though is to have the pop-ups of "congratulations you made it to level whatever" and "are you sure you want to exit" either have the same look as the game or remove them completely because it’s a little jarring to us and kind of takes us out of the immersion each time they pop up.
We played the first three games a while ago and loved them! And when we heard about Hack Net, we played them all over again!!! This series is by far our favorite game.
We’re a huge fan of the first two Hack Run games, and they just keep getting better. This one has a super cool story and some new features. Thanks for the fun.
This game was worth it. Near the top of our game list. We loved the improvements and new features added to this. The whole series we think is great. Keep going, create more.
Great game, but cant go through level 3 :( too difficult to guess the password.
It is a good game but it is kind of hard.
When we downloaded this app it said you had to use old-school DOS and UNIX commands. Type in cd or dir to localhost and it gives you a bad command alert? We like the game but it really needs to be reimagined to be more realistic.
We liked the other two HACK games but this ones storyline was weak and cheesy, coupled with terrible "voice overs" with wretchedly bad accents, probably just never do that again developers all we did was laugh at the horribly bad "acting".
This third game in the series is increasingly (and appropriately) harder, so definitely start with Hack Run first. A small handful of the puzzles were a little too tough, but the in game hints are a great help. The integration of websites, texts, and calls is very smart.
We absolutely love the hack games but this one has more levels and it’s amazing! They need to make more ASAP we’ve beaten all 3 in 4 days and we’re absolutely addicted.
We absolutely LOVED this game!! It is better than its predecessors, and is WELL worth the money! Great job at this; keep up the good work.
These games are extremely fun. We bought all three and they kept us entertained for a few days. We hope you make more. We can’t wait to buy them.
This game is great, as well as the other two. However it’s more difficult than the other two installments so you’ll be there for a while if you don’t want to check the hints & answers. Great story nonetheless.
Love this series kept us occupied for hours.
This game is awesome, just like its sequel and prequel. All three of these games are really fun. Please, make more of them.
We seriously love all these games they are amazing and we play them all the time they never get old! I273 please make more.
We love this game and this series! Please make more like it.
FANTASTIC game. Loved the puzzles and twists.we hope they make another one.
Loved it really hope there’s going to be a fourth one.
We enjoyed the iPad version of Hack RUN. We’d love to see an iPad version of all of them. Thanks.
This game is awesome except the ‘Hints and Tips’ section keeps telling us the URL is invalid. Other than that, we love these games.
Would have been 5 stars except that the "tips and hits" link just said invalid URL. Otherwise, definite 5 stars.
Excellent series! Very innovative gameplay and VERY unique. Some of the storyline seems WAAAAY out there, but it’s great in an "Evil Dead" or "Army of Darkness" spoof kind of way… Which makes it more awesome. We REALLY want to give it 5 stars, but the update did the same thing to us as the last few posts. We don’t mind playing again, but it’s frustrating having hit a wall and no clues to help. Still love it though.
The whole Hack series of games are exceptionally designed and very innovative! If you haven’t played any of them yet, start with the first because they’re all genuinely fun! If you have played the previous two, this one is more of the same! The game would absolutely get 5 stars if it hadn’t deleted our save data when we updated! Such a shame… Fix it and you get your 5 stars.
We really like the game, but when we updated it, all of our data was deleted and now we get to start all over. Just great. Plus when we click on hints and tips, it tells us invalid URL. This update did nothin helpful.
When we updated this, it wiped out all our data and made us start over again. Also, the hints/achievements page doesn’t come up and instead it says "invalid url." there’s no point to updating this, but its still a fun game.
Our friend introduced us to this game and we wasn’t interested. We were bored and decided to give it a shot. We just finished hack time and it was great! We love the storyline of all three games and we are an addict. Can’t wait for the 4th installment, we just couldn’t put this game down.
We have played all of these hack run games and even though we’re not much of a geek when it comes to hacking we really love them. Definitely worth the money.
Just like hack run and hack run zero, hack time was a fantastic game. We have to say that the hack run series has the best games we’ve ever played. Once we start playing, we can’t stop! We loved hack time and can’t wait for the fourth game in the series.
Really like the new menu feature, and the story is great.
Great sequel. The game requires quite some thinking, but overall a great app.
Loved the third story and enhancements to the interface.
Overall a fun, challenging puzzle game that makes you use both memory and logic. We had to look up a couple answers though — never would have gotten some of them.
Good story, a little more thinking is involved than just searching for the answer in quotes. Only hint we’re gonna give, but otherwise not too easy or challenging. A little odd of a teist in the end but still worth the money.
