Coding Challenge 2026
Game Title: Library Quest
❋ Plot:
HELP! An evil Baron has stolen all the books from the library and plans to burn them to heat his giant old castle.
Code a game where you must retrieve the books and return them to the library so the townsfolk can enjoy the delights of reading once again.
❋ Guidelines:
You may use any VPE (Visual Programming Environment) to make your game and all genres are acceptable; RPG, platform, puzzle etc. We want as many people to code and play as possible so your game must be free and accessible to play by anyone online.
An example of a free and accessible VPE is Scratch.
We welcome entries from all ages and from home-coders to clubs or group entries. We have regular code club meet ups in our libraries for help and encouragement, so please come along to see what everyone else is coding.
We will showcase the best entries on our social media channels throughout the year.
