The youngest videogame developer (female) is Simar Khurana (Canada, b. 17 May 2016), who was six years and 335 days old, as verified in Beamsville, Ontario, Canada, on 16 May 2023.

Simar first started learning coding at the beginning of the year, taking 3 classes a week. After a visit to her doctor, who gave her a lecture on healthy food options, she had the great idea of developing a videogame based on healthier food options. Simar is confident this is one of the best ways for others to find the benefits in healthy eating.
