TFT Snakes and Ladders Board Kit with Arduino Uno
Build a Digital Snakes & Ladders Board Game on a TFT Screen with Arduino Uno
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn the classic board game into an interactive digital experience. This kit lets you build a two-player Snakes and Ladders game displayed on a 1.8-inch TFT screen, with animated dice rolls and cheerful audio feedback. Perfect for young learners to grasp coding, electronics, and game logic while creating something they can immediately play with friends and family.
What You'll Build
You’ll wire up an Arduino Uno, a colour TFT display, two tactile buttons, and a buzzer onto a breadboard. After uploading the provided code, the TFT screen will show a full Snakes and Ladders board with tokens for both players. Pressing the yellow button “rolls” the dice on-screen with a spinning animation, moves the token along the grid, and triggers sound effects. A special animation plays when a player lands on a snake or ladder, and the game concludes with a victory sequence. The entire system runs on a 9V battery, making it portable for game nights anywhere.
What You'll Learn
- Programming Arduino to draw colourful graphics on a TFT display using the ST7735 library
- Implementing turn-based game logic, state machines, and random number generation
- Creating simple animations (dice spin, token movement) and visual effects
- Interfacing tactile buttons for input and a passive buzzer for audio feedback

Who This Kit Is For
Young makers aged 8–15 who want to learn electronics and coding through a hands-on game project will love this kit. It’s a natural fit for ATL Tinkering Labs, CBSE school science exhibitions, and weekend hobby builds. Parents and educators can use it to introduce programming concepts in a playful, screen-based format that feels rewarding without being overwhelming.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to launch the AI companion; it walks you through each connection and code line. You can also send a photo via WhatsApp and our support team will help you debug directly.
Do I need any prior coding experience?
Not at all. The sketch is fully written and commented, so you can simply upload and play. As you tinker, you’ll naturally pick up how variables, loops, and conditional statements drive the game.
Can I reuse the parts for other projects later?
Absolutely. The TFT display, Arduino, and breadboard are standard components. After this build, you can reprogram the setup as a digital clock, a weather display, or even a simple paint program.
Is this kit safe for younger children?
All parts run on low voltage (5–9V), so there’s no risk of electric shock. We recommend adult supervision for children under 10 while handling small wires and the breadboard connections.
