About the game
Elements of the game:
Scottie Go! is an innovative game to teach programming. It is a combination of puzzle tiles, which are used by the players to create programming commands, and an app that sets tasks and scans the proposed solutions that set Scottie and other characters in motion.
Coding Tiles
The tiles are used to write commands which will be performed by Scottie. They also have a defined goal: they allow players to acquire basic programming concepts such as loops, conditionals, variables or functions.
App
The app allows to scan the commands by capturing a photo or a video. Once the command has been scanned, Scottie will carry it out step by step, and the player can see if the task has been performed correctly.
How it works
-
The game has 91 quests divided into 10 modules, which provide several dozen hours of great fun and learning.
​
-
The set consists of a box containing 179 blocks for writing programs, a user manual, game board and license code. Mobile device is not included in the set.
​
-
The player selects a task in the application and writes a program by placing tiles in the right order on the game board. The program controls the main character’s, that is Scottie’s, movements.
​
-
Then the player scans the program using the ScottieGo! application on a computer, smartphone or tablet.​​
-
Once the program is scanned, Scottie will perform, on the device screen, the instructions placed on the game board.The player will see whether the task was performed correctly.
-
The game is designed for children from the age of 6. Whilst the game can be played by a single player, Scottie Go! provides great teamwork fun in groups of 2-3 persons.
​
-
For very young players, it is recommended that the first levels of the game are completed with the help of an adult.
