Our Games Design competition is back! The 2026 Purple Mash Games Design Competition will give children the opportunity to showcase their creativity and skills in teams of 6 to create a game with the theme of Planet Protectors.

2DIY 3D, the game creation tool from Purple Mash, has been updated! Explore new creative tools, 3D elements and coding features that bring pupil-made games to life.

This year will be the last National Coding Week - it will run from 15th to 21st September and this year has the theme of AI.

In addition to the theme, there are a number of ways that schools can get involved: run a coding challenge for students, take part in the Digital skills Challenge or showcase how you are supporting coding in the school.

Here at 2Simple, we are a proud partner of Maths Week London which takes place from 23rd - 27th June.

We've put together a collection of activities and games, all with an outdoor theme and written especially for Maths Week London 2025.

Are you a Year 6 teacher with a class full of gamers? This year, when there is no Purple Mash Games Design competition, we are excited to signpost gamers in your classroom to BAFTA’s Young Game Design competition. BAFTA’s annual competition aims to inspire and support those who are passionate about games.
