Code Keys

What students practice

Students practice reaching to the top row of the keyboard while keeping their fingers on home row, following a numbered sequence of glowing keys to crack a secret code.

How to play

Players press each top-row key shown in the numbered sequence, 1, 2, 3, and so on, before a closing ring seals the vault; a finger-reach hint shows which finger to use. A wrong key stops the vault and shows the correct one, and that code returns later; three sealed vaults end the mission.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which top-row keys are in play, from the whole row to just the left or right hand or index-finger reaches, and turn on a letter hint that appears after a long pause, plus speed and whether the answer is shown after a miss; the end screen offers a printable student report listing the keys practiced.
