Digital games have been increasingly present in educational contexts and their intrinsic characteristics emerge as innovative possibilities to present content in a more attractive and motivating way. This article presents an evaluation of an educational game for teaching computational thinking, from two perspectives: formative and objective evaluation. The results show that the game can be an adequate possibility for teaching computational thinking, but the assistance of a teacher is necessary.
