It could be anything you want. The only limit is your imagination and you don't need to know how to program. There is plenty of software available that will do that work for you. You can make your own video games! In the video game design section you can find lots of materials on designing, creating, and playing your own video games. You can also look through lots of books and find the one right for you.

This first game will actually be only a single room but you will be encouraged by how easy the process is.
