STORY AND SCREENPLAY BY

Judah Ray

PITCH

Cheat Code Kids is an exhilarating, high-stakes adventure that blends heart-pounding action with emotional depth, perfect for anyone who’s ever been caught in the fiery grips of sibling rivalry. The story follows Tobi and Bug, two brothers whose relationship has been defined by years of competition. Tobi, the older brother, is a strategic, win-at-all-costs player in both games and life. Bug, the younger, scrappy and unpredictable sibling, thrives on the rush of the challenge—never backing down, even when he's clearly outmatched. This rivalry, though fierce and fun, has left a trail of unresolved tension, unspoken resentments, and fractured trust.

When a routine late-night gaming session turns into something much more dangerous, the brothers are unexpectedly sucked into a mysterious game world. Here, the stakes are real, the challenges are personal, and the game isn’t just about outsmarting the system—it’s about confronting the very emotions and issues that have kept them at odds for years.

Each level presents a new challenge, designed to mirror their deepest struggles:
  • Level 1: Jealousy – A stage where only one can advance at a time, forcing them to reckon with their lifelong struggle for dominance.
  • Level 2: Fear – A horror-themed world where their anxieties take shape, testing their ability to rely on each other instead of just themselves.
  • Level 3: Resentment – A co-op challenge where they’re forced to carry each other’s burdens—literally—pushing them to acknowledge the ways they’ve let each other down.
  • Level 4: The Final Boss – A shadowy, glitched-out version of themselves, manifesting as their worst traits turned against them.
​
As the game progresses, reality starts to bend, and the brothers begin questioning whether they can escape this world—or if they’ve been brought here for one final, life-altering test. They realize that to survive and win, they must stop trying to outplay each other and instead learn to play as a team.


Cheat Code Kids is a thrilling, visually stunning rollercoaster ride that blends the spirit of iconic movies like Tron and Jumanji, with the emotional depth of coming-of-age stories. At its heart, it’s a tale about growth, redemption, and understanding that the greatest challenges aren’t the ones you face alone, but those you learn to tackle together. It’s a story that reminds us that sometimes, the hardest level to beat is the one that lies within.
​

This is a film that will resonate with audiences of all ages—whether they’ve battled their own sibling rivalries or simply want to experience a high-energy, emotional adventure that blends gaming culture with life lessons.
