Pre-coding logic game for kids

Overview

Version:

3.3.3

Last updated: 2019-09-23

Features & Capabilities

Hopster Coding Safari for Kids is an animal-themed pre-coding logic game that introduces computational thinking and coding foundations to young learners. Through a sequence of increasing puzzles, children guide animals to their destinations, building problem solving, planning, and sequencing skills without learning a specific programming language. Each animal represents a continent, turning play into a global adventure.

Designed to align with UK Early Years & KS1 and US Kindergarten–2nd Grade standards, the game teaches the four foundational techniques of computational thinking—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. Built by the team behind Hopster, it is 100% safe and ad-free. Unlock the second coding world with a single in-app purchase or via an existing Hopster subscription; a Hopster login is required to access across apps and platforms.

User Reviews

Overall, reviews praise Hopster Coding Safari as kid-friendly, engaging, and educational, helping kids learn logic and basic coding while playing at home. Pros include accessible, gradually challenging content and strong family appeal. Common concerns across reviews include too few levels/worlds and requests for more content; occasional sound problems or missing audio; a gated unlock/pay model and family-sharing issues; drag-and-drop can be hard for small fingers; and some question the clarity of learning goals. Many call for more levels, better sound, and price adjustments.
