Meet Our Amazing Mentors!

Over the past year we’ve had some incredible mentors join us, and we thought it would be a great time to introduce you to some of them! Today we'll be introducing Tasha, Becky, KC, and Merlijn! 

1. You're told you can only play one video game for the rest of your life, what game do you choose?

Tasha: Stardew Valley probs!

Becky: Probably Pokémon Emerald! There's so much to do - I'd probably try and hunt down shinies for all my favourites, and then use them to complete the Battle Frontier facilities!

KC: Probably Minecraft since there's so much versatility in gameplay and different minigames on servers

Merlijn: Terraria!!

2. Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names?

Tasha: One: tuxedo cat called Zuko (from Avatar, not Grease!)

Becky: Yes! I have a Giant African Land Snail named Humbug. And my family back home has a cat named Trixie - I miss her a lot since moving out, and I get my mum to send me photos of her every day!

KC: I don't personally, but my partner's dog is called Skittles. My family also has chickens, but they don't have names, they're just The Hens™ and we like them because they pay their rent... in eggs!

Merlijn: Dog, Martha, she is a princes and behaves like one too!

3. What's your favourite Pokemon?

Tasha: my boi CHARMANDER

Becky: My favourite since childhood is Flygon, however I'd say that shiny Ninetales and shiny Psyduck are my main favourites at the moment - I'm trying to get them both in Emerald!

KC: I have different favourites depending on my mood - at time of writing, I have a lot of love for the newest starters (Pombom, Browt and Gecqua) because their designs are awesome and SUPER CUTE! Big shout out to my level 100 Empoleon as well who got me through many a gym battle.

Merlijn: Mew!

4. What's your go-to ice cream flavour?

Tasha: probably vanilla tbh lol

Becky: Strawberry!

KC: Pistachio or Hazelnut

Merlijn: Vanilla! or chocolate, or cinnamon, just all ice cream!

5. What is your favourite game on The Code Zone?

Tasha: Recently discovered sword spinner through a kid using it for base code - would genuinely play that for hours!

Becky: Probably Phantom Foray! I love anything spooky

KC: Boulder Dash - it reminds me of the old school arcade version of Donkey Kong!

Merlijn: The Asteroid Field!

Wow! I definitely learned a lot from some of our newest mentors, I hope you did too!
