A well-known challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking Bebras is based on task solving activity.The Bebras model is known as one of the methods that involves students to the learning and promotes students' reasoning.The Bebras motivates students to be interested more deeply in informatics.This goal can only be reached if the tasks are interesting and provoke some excitement.The interactivity is very typical for computers, so it is clear that a computer oriented challenge / contest should apply interactive elements to solve or explain tasks.This paper presents a tool that is used to code and design dynamic Bebras tasks.The paper has two main goals: 1) to analyse tasks used to engage student's in learning informatics fundamentals, and 2) to provide a description of the tool, so-called the Bebras Lodge, and illustrate application of this tool by discussing several examples.
