Valentine’s Day Event Details

During the in-game event, each student can create four custom Valentine-themed mazes. Using the in-game drawing tools, students design a maze that starts on the left side of the grid and connects to the end tile on the right.

A maze is only complete and playable when it reaches the end tile. Students place three stars into each maze, and their Fuzz must collect all three stars before reaching the end.

‍

After completing one maze in the event, students will unlock six Valentine-themed costumes and accessories. They can then visit Fuzz Builder to code and customize new Fuzzes!

Sending Home the Virtual Valentines

Once students finish, you can log into your teacher dashboard to share their creations with families. You can either send the whole class at once or share them one student at a time.

Families can view and print the Valentine for free. To play the Valentine, families can start a 7-day free trial of Kodable. Schools using an All Access plan include family access, so no trial is required.
