Tutorial missions are an essential part of video games. However, their significance is often not emphasized enough during development. This thesis presents a review of the literature related to tutorial design and combines information from the private sector and the academic sphere. The analysis outcome was organized into a clear set of rules. A tuto- rial mission for the cooperative game Silicomrades was designed based on these findings. Two distinct versions of the tutorial were created, centered on one of the conflicts iden- tified during the literature review - whether it is better to use Scaffolding (giving player necessary information right away) for a video game onboarding or Just in time approach (giving player information when he is unsure what to do). An experiment was conducted (n = 28) to identify differences between these two approaches. Participants of the expe- riments played one of the two versions, and then their performance was measured in the specialized mission. None of the experiment findings was of statistical significance, but the results indicated a superiority of the Scaffolding approach (based on the performance and subjective enjoyment). After the experiment, the tutorial mission was refined based on the feedback, and exciting directions for future studies were suggested. 1
