We looked at 10 amazing games to learn CSS. And in this article, we'll do the same for JavaScript.
Learning a language by playing games is super fun, and for some people, it's a great way to understand the impact of the language visually.
Without further ado, here are ten fantastic games where you can learn JavaScript.
1. CodinGame
CodinGame is a multi-language platform where you can learn several languages, including JavaScript, by playing games.
The cool thing about it is that you can use it as a multiplayer game, which is excellent as you can compete against your friends or coworkers.
2. CodeCombat
CodeCombat is an RPG (role-playing game) set up that teaches you web fundamentals and more.
It's extensive in the number of challenges and supports five languages, including JavaScript.
It offers a free option for all core levels and can upgrade to unlock more.
3. Untrusted
This is a fantastic concept of a console-like environment turned into an escape room.
You'll need to type JavaScript code to exit each level. It's easy to start, and they provide some hints.
4. Codewars
Codewars is a cool concept where you have to solve puzzles by filling out the blanks.
It's cool to discuss and see other people's solutions.
This makes it the perfect place to learn and grow your skills.
5. JSRobot
JSRobot is a super cool game setup with a lot of background information.
You have to type JavaScript to control the robot and clear the level. I enjoyed how well this game is executed.
6. JSDares
JSDares is a super cool open-source game platform, so you get community-provided dares you have to solve.
They are small, so you can quickly do some in between or before starting your day.
Worth checking out this fantastic game platform to learn JavaScript.
7. Screeps
Screeps is a sandboxed game where you can control a colony by providing JavaScript code.
It's quite a cool concept, as you learn quite a few different aspects of JavaScript.
The cool part is that it's massive and has infinite levels to play.
8. Crunchzilla
Crunchzilla is an excellent way for visual learners among us. It provides multiple levels of complexity where you can learn step by step.
I'd highly suggest this game to anyone wanting to visually understand the impact of specific code.
9. Elevator Saga
Another excellent game is the elevator saga, where you learn how to transport people in a lift by writing JavaScript code.
It has many levels and exceptional documentation and solutions described in detail.
You can keep improving this great challenge to make it more efficient.
10. CheckIO
CheckIO is an excellent text-based game with some fantastic graphics for the level indicators.
It has a cool feature where you can see all solutions, moving from the most efficient to the most creative.
This helps you to learn about the solution and what you could do to optimize it.

Btw, my favourite websites to learn coding: CheckiO, TwilioQuest, CodeCombat, and WarriorJS
I always recommend them to new software developer! (that's why I wrote about them ^^)
Thanks for the additions 🥳
Cool material to introduce the kids into this world.
Indeed, what a cool way for kids to learn as well.
Hello
Thanks for the information.
It doesn't seem like CodeCombat is free, level 6 and beyond requires a sub.
Indeed some of them require some form of monetary value at a certain mark.
However their free levels are still pretty cool 🥳
Agree. But I feel it stopped too early to see if it is worth it or not. Would be nice if it extends to level 10 or something.
This is really cool. Thanks for this! 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it 🥳
you can add also leek war in the list, cool dofus combat like.
ah cool, let me check that one out 🥳
