: Information technology has been contributing to various areas of knowledge; in particular, the field of education stands out. In what concerns the teaching of computer programming, literature contains important efforts that aim to assist in the learning process. Teaching algorithms and programming concepts for first year students has always been a great challenge for universities, new Computer Science students usually have difficulties in understanding and abstracting the problem logics. An alternative that has contributed to the teaching-learning process is the use of games, which contribute towards mediating and enhancing the teaching learning process. we have developed a game named Maze to help teach concepts that are considered difficult to understand by students of Computer Science courses. This paper presents the implementation of Maze game that aims to assist students in Computer Science courses.
