## What is CodeTales?

CodeTales turns coding into an adventure kids aged 6–14 actually want to go on.

Each story follows a character on a quest — and at key moments, your child has to solve a real coding challenge to move the story forward. No videos. No passive watching. Just hands-on coding that feels like gameplay.

What kids learn
JavaScript fundamentals and core programming concepts: variables, loops, conditions, and logical thinking — introduced naturally through story context, not textbooks.

Three challenge types
• Code Gap — fill in the missing piece of code to complete the line
• Code Reorder — drag the lines of code into the correct order
• Debug Fix — find and fix the bug before the story can continue

Built for kids, designed for parents
Create a separate profile for each child. Every profile tracks XP, daily streaks, and progress independently. No ads, no social features, no external links — just focused learning.

Subscription
A free trial gives access to starter stories. Premium unlocks the full story library and all challenge types, billed monthly at the price shown at purchase.
