About Blockly Maze
Blockly Maze is the world's most famous first programming lesson: guide a little explorer through a maze by snapping together real code blocks — move forward, turn, repeat. Ten levels take kids from their first program to real loops.
How to play Blockly Maze
Drag blocks like "move forward" and "turn left" into the workspace, snap them in order, and press Run Program. The person walks your exact instructions — if they bonk a wall, tweak the program and run it again.
Questions & answers
- What does Blockly Maze teach kids?
- Sequencing (putting instructions in order), debugging (fixing a program that didn't work) and by the later levels, loops — the real foundations of programming, no typing needed.
- What age is Blockly Maze for?
- Roughly ages 6–12. Early levels need just three blocks; the final levels genuinely challenge adults.
- Is Blockly Maze really coding?
- Yes — the blocks are real program structures, and the same blocks-to-code idea powers Scratch and many school coding curricula. This is the same open-source Blockly Games built by Google.
