This study aims to investigate students' engagement in computational thinking skills through game-based learning in science classrooms. Data was gathered through observation and interviews with 30 secondary school students. Research data were analyzed qualitatively through six stages involving preparing and organizing data, exploring data, developing descriptions, representing results, interpreting findings, and validating the accuracy of findings. The study results show that game-based learning makes students engaged in computational thinking skills. Interaction with educational games trains students to find solutions more precisely and bravely in making decisions. Game-based learning can be a solution to introduce students' computational thinking skills in a more enjoyable way. Teachers are expected to use this research to teach students computational thinking skills through game-based learning. © 2023 IEEE.
