What Makes Osmo Coding Jam Stand Out
Explore the creative side of coding with hands-on music-making!
In Osmo’s Coding Jam, kids arrange physical coding blocks into patterns and sequences to compose original tunes. The game comes with over 300 musical sounds to produce the perfect song.
Kids can safely record and share their music with friends, family and the Jam community.

Community Insight:
Weve used this off and on over several years. Works great and our kid enjoys it.
We played this before and we love it.
Nothing weapon nothing forbidden. We just feel great. Thanks and have fun Enjoy.
Im sure it would be a five star but we cant buy the irl set.
Every time we open up Coding Jam, it goes back to the Home screen.
When we try to code a song it glitches and doesnt do the right note.
This game is great, but there is a issue. The only thing you can do is make songs, thats it. So eventually, the game would get boring, so we were wondering if we can add a trade character feature, but that wont work because there arent that many players anymore, we think, we hope this game has more players.
So we played this and we were not bored we really loved playing this game but when the new sounds came (maybe they are new sounds idk) we didnt like it but a few days later we liked them a lot! Im just wondering if you had this thing like where you make your own musical character that would be great! Whenever like our songs are on a category we dont see it sometimes we do whenever we see them and they probably get moved because of new songs coming the category. But yeah we love this game.
Hello!we got our osmos for Xmas and coding Awbie works but coding jam not so much the pieces dont work and the cameras glitchy but overall its a great game.
Ever since we download these kind of apps we've always loved them but this one we just love so much so we play it week no we're sorry we get what's reality not AnyWho we download this app and it's amazing and it told us lotta stuff and we were inspired by our friend Rubys so we did that it's amazing amazing amazing.
This game is awesome but when you get all the characters there is no use in the hearts. We would like that to be fixed and when we try to find our music on spooky tunes, number 26, we find that our music in NOT there. Same for our other music. Otherwise this game is the best. We would recommend it but just remember those things that should be fixed. Thanks for reading!! From, us a 9 year old.
99% awesome because we could really use some more guys.
So when we started to play it was cool but when we updated it we couldn't hear the song in the starting so it was cool but please fix it.
We made a song last week, and it told us our song would be there. This week when we looked on sea songs, #19 it wasnt our song, like they said it would be. We were disappointed.
Ive been trying to get this game to work for over a month deleting it and redos loading, looking for updates. We get an error message every time, right after the first loading screen. Little irritated we bought the we]tiles for this.
Cant get the app to work properly on our iPad. Very poor experience.
When we played this in school it was great we got it for our birthday we tried it it worked the first two levels then it wouldn't load it would go half way then say to move it up its still is a great game maybe try to use a different device Im trying it right now.
Its a great game but not enough characters! Games u havent updated: monster,coding jam,coding Awbie,detective agency [we finished this] AND IF U RESPOND, USE A HAND WRITTEN RESPONSE.
The camera just wont work the best we put in our combo but it sensors different combos then what we have. And the combo when its loading it in for our monster to do. It would load halfway then stops. Its a really weird glitch that keeps happening thats frustrating us so if you would fix it we would be really happy.
We were going to get coding awbie but saw the really bad reviews. So we went with coding jam and it worked perfectly. It's so awesome.
This is a really good learning tool, you learn to code and make music , we really recommend it.
There is a glitch cause the one that the song plays that shows you a bit of what they do every time they try show that it glitched.
More characters plz… But no weird ones.
We love this game so Much we totally recommend it.
We love that you can use different characters as different beats to make a song. Also, other kids who use Osmo can rate the song that you made.
This game is awesome thanks Osmo for making these games.
What is the problem with this app for the iPhone? Our kids use different osmo products with iPhone without any issues. The app cant see the tiles placed in front using the reflector and base for the iPhone. Not planning to buy an iPad just to play the jam.
What bothers us so much about this game is the fact that you need that block thing for the iPad. Our saw this a tried messing around with it and it didnt work.
We LOVE THIS GAME we GOT A FAMOUS SONG.
This game is super cool, just one thing, IT TAKES FOREVER TO DOWNLOAD! (Btw the reason we rated this was because we accidentally pressed 1 star so we had to change it).
When we had this game, it was great. But one day l had to delete it… Now we cant download it.do you have that problem.
We love this app but for some reason it won't recognize the blue coding blocks. We have to keep turning our iPad off and turning it back on so it will work, or we have to quickly press the check mark before we hear what it sounds like or the blue blocks will disappear.
