* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'': Hacking [[CloneArmy Grineer]] technology involves turning nodes on right as a rapidly spinning cursor passes over them. Hacking [[MegaCorp Corpus]] technology on the other hand involves rotating {{h|ighTechHexagons}}ex tiles so their nodes match up. Both of these can be quickly bypassed using consumable ciphers. Orokin consoles are rare, and typically just use the Corpus minigame, but one story mission had an event where you had to go track down pieces of an Orokin code throughout the level, bring them back to the console, and assemble the code in the right order. Finally, [[spoiler:Narmer consoles (introduced in ''The New War'') require the player to activate nodes on a motion inverted display]].

* ''VideoGame/X3Reunion: Terran Conflict'' has one as part of the New Home plot. Breaking into the Terraformer CPU ship #efaa requires breaking a four-digit code, then solving a sudoku. The third part is inputting a code you put together from clues throughout the plot.

* ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'': This is mostly averted. Surprisingly, almost all hacks are just one click of the button. The real trick is figuring out what to hack and when. Played straight with the privacy intrusions, which sometimes present a minigame to reach the area you're trying to intrude.

The real trick is figuring button with context-sensitive actions, and/or a ''Videogame/PipeMania'' esque "connect the pipes" in order to gain access to a system, so you can do the aforementioned one-click hacks.
