Version 2.0.0 of Coding Duo now includes the following updates:

Repeat and subroutine actions now align with Coding Awbie, a new character swap button was added to gameplay, and the puzzle difficulties now better align with game difficulty. Regarding the game blocks, the Coding Duo blocks (Awbie & Mo) no longer exist.

Coding Duo is an advanced puzzle game and it is suggested to be played after first playing Coding Awbie. Coding Duo is the most challenging game in the coding series. Players use two sets of code to control multiple characters at once to solve puzzles.

Did you know that there is an in-app manual to help you get acquainted with Coding Duo? It can be accessed via the Settings menu, under Manual. This guide introduces the two blocks, coding concepts such as sequencing & subroutines, and game rewards, obstacles and objects.

We also have a Getting Started Guide in PDF format for Coding Duo here:

In order to play Osmo's newest Coding game, Duo, players will need Coding blocks from all three Coding games: Coding Awbie, Jam and Duo.

A Coding Family kit with all three games is sold in our online store, www.playosmo.com/order.

Even though Coding Duo is listed as part of the 'Coding Family', you may purchase it separately. Simply click on the 'Coding Family' item, check off the boxes for Coding Awbie and Coding Jam (which indicates that you already have those games and their game pieces), and you will be able to checkout with just Coding Duo in the shopping cart.

Coding Duo uses two lines of code as players make their way through fun worlds.  Duo is designed to be a collaborative game, where players help one another, although it can be played by a single player, multiple players, or teams in either collaborative or competitive play.

Coding Duo is Osmo's newest game, joining Coding Awbie and Coding Jam as a fun way to learn coding concepts!

While Coding Awbie teaches basic programming skills, and Jam teaches more advanced skills, such as nested repeats and subroutines, Coding Duo builds on those, and adds even more complexity, teaching children how to use synchronization, subroutines and loops.

Coding Duo is recommended for ages 7-11 and is Osmo's most advanced Coding game to date.

What do you need to play Coding Duo?
Coding blocks from Awbie, Jam and Duo are required to play Duo. Duo comes with two new blocks, which can be purchased as part of our Coding Family Kit.

If you are a teacher or librarian in the US or Canada, you can purchase Duo separately through our school quote page (click on the 'Request a quote' button at the top of the Schools page to access it: https://playosmo.com/en/schools/).
