Learn to make games. Win prizes. Have fun doing it.

🎓 Why this is great for your child: Builder Lab teaches the real foundations of coding — logic, sequencing, cause and effect, problem-solving and debugging — through play rather than lectures. Kids design, test and fix their own game, then see other people play it. It’s computational thinking disguised as a really good afternoon, and no prior coding experience is needed to start.

🔒 A note for parents: This challenge is open to builders aged 10 and over, and needs your permission. Entering is done from inside Builder Lab, so the only details we hold are the ones on the free account — and when a game is entered we get the game, not a new set of contact details. Nothing is passed to anybody else, and you can ask us to delete an account and everything in it at any time. No payment. Prizes are book vouchers rather than cash. See our Privacy Notice.

📣 If a game is entered: we may promote it on the mebobox website to show off what people have built — with the builder’s username, so they get the credit. The name and email address on the account are never published.
