I had this game with this box. Seems to fit. It's a thinking game.
14-year old me wanted to be that guy so much.
I remember this well. The only thing missing from the box is a white Persian cat on the supervillain’s lap.
I figured out what was going on when Wordle became popular and people started sharing their results simply because the results mimicked the Mastermind reveal clues, although I would try to not place the reveal clues in order in Mastermind just to make it harder.
My parents still have the one that's on the left in the picture.

Wow! We used to have this game when I was a kid, and my mom and I played all the time. I haven’t thought about this game in years, but I absolutely recognize that box!
That was a hilarious read. Thank you.
