Level 3: Welcome To My World

Official Raspberry Pi Project

This lesson is based on the official Raspberry Pi Foundation project. Open it alongside this guide to access the starter project, step-by-step instructions and community remixes.

How to use it: Click the link above, then click See Inside on the Scratch project to explore the finished version. Use Remix to get your own copy to edit.

What You Will Build

Design an immersive explorable world with multiple scenes and interactions.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this project you will be able to:

• Use Events blocks to start scripts and respond to clicks
• Combine Motion, Looks and Sound blocks to create behaviours
• Use variables to track game state and scores
• Apply the specific Scratch concepts introduced in Level 3

You Will Need

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Plan your world: 4 locations (e.g. forest, city, beach, mountain).
2. Create a backdrop for each location.
3. Create a travel map sprite. Clicking each region switches to that backdrop.
4. Add 2–3 unique sprites in each location.
5. Each sprite has dialogue or actions triggered by clicking.
6. Add ambient sound for each location using play sound [X] when backdrop switches.
7. Create a journal variable that records locations visited.
8. Add hidden items in each location that add to the journal when found.
9. When all 4 locations are visited: show a completion message and badge.
10. Add a character sprite the player controls to walk between areas.

Extension Challenges

Try these after completing the main project:

• Add NPCs that give quests and reward items when tasks are complete.
• Add weather that changes randomly in each location.
• Create a day/night cycle using colour effects on the backdrop.

Reflection Questions
