Instructional Design - Tunnel of Doom

Scratch Video Game Curriculum & Workshop

The Challenge

Teach kids (ages 6-12) how to build their own video game.

Challenge Accepted!

My solve was to design a Scratch course for the kids to build their own video game. I referenced a book version of Tunnel of Doom and then added my own twists – like new levels and flying objects.


How to Play

  1. Click on the Green Flag (turn your speaker volume on)
  2. Touch. your cursor (mouse) to the Cat and see how the Cat connects (like a magnet) to your cursor
  3. Now with a steady hand and nerves of steal try to lead the Cat through the Tunnel of Doom to reach the Taco. Careful not to touch the tunnel walls or you’ll have to try again.
  4. On level two you’ll need to get home without being hit by the Flying Taco. YIKES! Try to go as fast as you can!
