You have to match the colors as well.

It's a classically-done puzzle with a classic hint. One of the colors is correct, so if you just put in all the shapes that are in front of each console, one core starts spinning. That triggers you to understand that you're part-way there but are missing something. It's nice when puzzle creators take the time to scaffold their puzzles.

I had to come to the comments, i was looking for the hint, but the shape being the same drab blue made me miss it. i noticed the rings colors, but not the shape

Cool. I only could suggest, for hackers don't show hints of code shapes (for engine consoles), just make less buttons, so for example, just 64 possible variants, so real hacker could just find code by brute force. Other possible idea, sough harder to implement, to use rotating dials and issue some shake of screen when approach right number on some dial.

manual brute force doesn't really sound like a fun way to "hack"

Are you thinking of SpaceTeam? We had a ton of fun with this game at a previous job. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sleepingbe...

Scratch that, I missed a paragraph in OP's post about the assassin. Definitely not SpaceTeam and more likely Among Us. Give SpaceTeam a try anyway. You have to love a game that bills itself as a "cooperative shouting game."

Spaceteam also exists as a physical card game, the mechanics seem to be a bit different from the app (not sure which one of them was released first) but is still lots of fun and shouting.
