Made by a Seventh-day Adventist, for anyone who wants to walk through the Bible

Why it exists

Bible games for children online are mostly worksheets and trivia. We wanted something you play: a chapter of the Bible drawn as a small world, the people who were there to talk to, the verses read aloud, and a quiz at the end that checks what was noticed. Every one of the Bible's 1,189 chapters is in the game, with 14 story scenes from the Life of Jesus and the Sabbath, and open lands to walk with friends.

How we read the Bible

Scripture is the source text. Every verse the game quotes is from the King James Version, quoted word for word. The game reads the Bible in the Seventh-day Adventist understanding of Scripture: the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord; the dead rest until the resurrection; Christ is coming again. Players of any background are welcome.

Some things the game never does:

• God is never drawn as a person. Where Scripture gives no face, the game shows light, cloud and a voice.
• Jesus is never a character you play. He is met and spoken with in the words of the text.
• Nothing is added to the text. Characters speak only from their own place in the chapter.
• No blood on the screen. Where Scripture tells of battle, the game tells it as obedience and the LORD's victory.

How the chapters are made and checked

Each chapter is drafted with the help of AI from the text of the chapter itself, then put through automated doctrinal checks, verse by verse, before it is released: every quiz question must point to a verse of its own chapter, every verse must be covered by something the player sees or hears, and the theology is checked against the rules above. A human reading of every chapter is under way. Anything a player flags in the game is looked at and put right.

Every line is voiced, with voices made by a text-to-speech model and chosen by ear for each character. The narrator's voice and the voice of God belong to no other character.

Children

A child under 13 signs up with a parent's email, and the parent confirms before the child can play with anyone else. There is no typed chat anywhere in the game, and other players never see a child's username. The details are on the page for parents and in the privacy notice.
