Kodable Basics
Maze-style coding challenges that begin with sequences and patterns.
Maze puzzles open Kodable Basics, each asking children to plan a sequence of moves. Later levels bring in loops, conditions, functions and variables.

What kids do
- Plan sequences through mazes
- Explore programming patterns
- Move on to loops, conditions, functions and variables
Who it suits
Spans ages 4–10, from first sequencing puzzles to early programming concepts.
Notes for parents
Because the levels climb from simple mazes to variables, a four-year-old and a ten-year-old are likely to spend their time in quite different parts of the app.
