BeBlocky challenges children to help Blockys solve game puzzles by combining graphical programming blocks. The activity introduces sequencing, loops, conditionals, functions, and variables through interactive problem solving rather than text-based code.
Build solutions with coding blocks
Players experiment with graphical blocks and arrange them to create instructions for their character. The documented concepts provide different ways to structure a solution, including placing actions in sequence, repeating instructions with loops, applying conditions, using functions, and working with variables. The result of the block arrangement is used to solve the current puzzle.
Explore puzzles with augmented reality
BeBlocky also uses augmented reality technology to let children explore the game environment in the real world while working on puzzles. This is presented as an additional way to engage with the environments and understand the challenges.
Progress through levels and characters
The game contains more than 80 challenging levels. When levels are completed, players earn virtual coins based on their performance. Those coins can be used to buy new Blockys characters, giving the level-completion process a continuation beyond the individual puzzle.
Parent Dashboard information
The Parent Dashboard gives parents access to information about completed levels, time spent in the app, and the programming concepts covered. Parents can also set screen-time limits and purchase virtual coins for their child's wallet. These tools connect the child's puzzle activity with progress monitoring and account management.
Learning focus
BeBlocky is described as an educational application for students of different ages, with its game-specific material focused on building a foundation in programming. Its documented play elements combine puzzle solving, coding-block experimentation, augmented reality exploration, level progression, and virtual character purchases.
