CodeMonkey is educational game-based platform that helps kids learn to code without any prior experience.

The app teaches kids how to code through a variety of fun and interactive games, which gradually get more difficult as they progress.

CodeMonkey is available on both iOS and Android devices, and can be played for free or with a paid subscription. The paid subscription gives access to additional features, such as unlimited playtime, more challenging levels, and access to a private forum where kids can ask questions and get help from other coders.

Whether you're a parent looking for a fun and educational game for your kids, or a teacher looking for a new way to teach coding, CodeMonkey is a great option.
