The Best Christian Faith Based Mobile App for Kids
3/19/2025
How can parents today possibly understand the digital world their children inhabit? Among the many parenting challenges moms and dads face today is the availability of websites, apps, and games to which kids have access—and parents may not even know how their children are spending their time...or with whom. In addition to often-disturbing content (violence, sexual depictions or innuendo, occult influences, etc.), many video games and websites offer chat rooms to children, and the controls for screening users and prevent adults with malign intentions from participating meet with widely varying degrees of success. Many feature in-app purchases, meaning kids can buy upgrades or enhancements. Some games that may be unobjectionable allow ads for products that are. And too many games conflict with and even challenge biblical teaching and Christian values. While many parents do their best to limit and monitor their kids' screen time, who can properly audit the average fifty-two-and-a-half hours a week kids spend on screens?
That’s why the TruPlay mobile game app exists: to meet the urgent and growing need for faith-based and truth-instilling alternatives to the games many children are playing...and being influenced by. The TruPlay app was intentionally designed without chat rooms, in-app purchases, or other features that make kids vulnerable. This means, of course, that kids can't spend money, buy "loot," click to go to outside and unknown sites, or "chat" with possible predators. When parents download and subscribe to the TruPlay app for their family, they can relax, knowing that strangers aren’t accessing or chatting with their kids.
But the TruPlay app is not only a safe gaming environment; it's also the best faith based app for kids (ages 4-12) that combines entertainment with Christian values. It inspires and instills biblical values and principles in kids’ minds and hearts. It offers countless hours of games, comics, and animated videos that feature high quality art, action-packed games, and thoughtful storytelling that do more than entertain; they're also infused with God’s Truth. Sometimes referred to as “the Netflix of Christian mobile games for children," the TruPlay app is a Christian resource for all ages, but especially for children.

Why do parents and kids–as well as Christian podcasters, influencers and organizations–find so compelling about the TruPlay app?

Types of Christian Mobile Games Available on TruPlay
A subscription to TruPlay opens the door to numerous games, comics, and videos, all of which promote Christian values and incorporate biblical content. Some examples:

Benjamin and the Armor of Logos, a Christian mobile video game in which Benjamin searches for the armor of God
King David's Battles, a game in which the player takes on the persona of the biblical David, overcoming obstacles all the way to his epic battle with Goliath
Bubble Shooter
ChirpSong: Wings of Praise, a bubble shooter game that reveals the restorative power of praise as players free the "Chirps" in the Forest of Words from Axilla’s corruption!
Coloring
Book of Imagination, a coloring experience featuring TruPlay’s RhymVerse characters, designed for artists and dreamers of all ages
Endless Jumper
Isabella's Leap of Faith, a Christian mobile game in which the player jumps with Isabella through the Forest of Words, collecting Eldavarian Fyreflies to power the Living Lantern.
Endless Runner
Oliver and the Vindictive Vines, a game featuring Oliver, who must dodge obstacles, avoid Vindictive Vines, and stay in the race through the dangers of the Forest of Words.
Match 3
Stained Glass, an absorbing Christian mobile game in which the player must match jewel-toned pieces of glass to assemble beautiful stained glass puzzles that reveal the stories of men and women in the Bible.
Puzzle Games
Ava and the Mirror of Truth. In this puzzle game, Ava learns about the lies we believe about ourselves and how God's truth conquers them.
Noah's Elephant in the Room is a Bible memory game as the player rides on Noah’s pet elephant and tries to avoid being caught by Noah’s sons.
Side Scroller
Maple and the Forest of Words features a daring young Tiger Bunny on a rescue mission in this side-scrolling action-adventure.
Little Light, a Christian mobile video game in which the player helps Lumi light up the dark streets with lamps and verses from scripture.
Space 3D Shooter
Lucas: Mission Starhope is a mobile game in which the player becomes Lucas, a determined skunk in a crocodile-robot suit searching earth and heaven to find his brother.
Tower Defense
Heroes of Rhym. In this tower defense game, a group of adventurous children defend an ancient castle from a wicked enemy.
Word Game
Lumi's Words of Light. As you (the player) unscramble Lumi’s word puzzles, you light up the city–and your day– with God’s promises and blessings.
Each TruPlay game incorporates the Bible and Christian teaching into the action. For example:
- In Ava and the Mirror of Truth, Ava is learning to conquer "to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments" (2 Corinthians 10:4) with the truth of God.
- Benjamin and the Armor of Logos is a game about putting on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:11-17).
- Stained Glass tells the stories of Eve, Noah, Sarah, and other Old Testament heroes.
- In King David's Battles, the player actually becomes David as he fights his way to the famous showdown with Goliath.
- At intervals in the word game, Lumi’s Words of Light, the player receives notes of encouragement and affirmation from the Bible.
These are just a few examples of the way TruPlay’s games make encounters with God and His Word a natural part of the game-playing experience, so that it’s simultaneously fun and truth-instilling.
Educational and Spiritual Benefits for Children
Educators, influencers, and parents extol the benefits of TruPlay’s fun and engaging content:
“You are the solution to the problems I have been addressing forever!” (“Counter Culture Mom” podcast host Tina Griffin).
“Here is the best part about this app: It is Christian and it is full of the Bible! It has stories about Jesus. It has scriptures. It is full of biblical teachings worked into every game, every story, every video. It’s incredible” (Christian singer/songwriter Kim Walker Smith).
“The internet is the Wild West for kids, so are you looking for a fun and safe app for your kids to play games? TruPlay is the app for you” (actor Kevin Sorbo).
"The quality of TruPlay's content is unparalleled, and it's guaranteed not to expose your children to questionable content or ads of any kind" (Will Graham, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association).
In addition to TruPlay’s extensive faith-building content, the app offers educational benefits to every user, from the youngest child to adults. Animated videos and comics (which include audio narration) will develop and refine reading abilities, from word recognition to reading comprehension. The games develop problem-solving skills, strategic thinking, and spatial and moral reasoning. Through the trial-and-error process in Lucas: Mission Starhope, for example, players experience the scientific method and applied engineering, while learning to persevere as Noah coaches his friend Lucas in faith matters. The teamwork required to solve the puzzles in games like Maple and the Forest of Words can build skills for group projects in school, from leadership to conflict resolution, and model the value of working with others to solve problems.
The RhymVerse: A World Built on Faith
Among the unique features of the TruPlay app is the "RhymVerse," a fantastical universe that’s unique in the world of kids’ mobile games. It’s a dimension where the Bible is true, evil is real, and a group of kids encounters challenges and overcomes them by hanging on to God's truth. The Rhymverse characters, much like the kids who play our games, are of varying ages and stages of spiritual awareness and growth, and they’ve been intentionally designed and characterized to connect with kids of diverse learning styles and interests, from Maple, the sometimes-impulsive tiger bunny, to Oliver, the orphaned and adopted “biblical fox,” and Lucas, the tech-savvy crocodile-robot creator who’s on the autism spectrum…and more. These and others face challenges that mirror real-life situations and learn to conquer them with the help of God and each other. In comics, videos, and games, the RhymSquad helps young users understand themselves better and enter into or expand a thriving relationship with a God who loves them and has big plans for them.
Interactive Content Beyond Games
The TruPlay app also features unique and engaging interactive content beyond our games. For example:
- Digital comics explaining how we got the Bible and Action Bible comics telling the story of Daniel and the lions, the birth of Jesus, and Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, and more.
- Other digital comics (complete with audio) tell the larger story that underscores the RhymVerse games (Maple and the Forest of Words, Benjamin and the Armor of Logos, Heroes of Rhym, etc.).
- Animated video shorts in which RhymVerse characters teach the Lord’s Prayer, recite Bible verses, relate the importance of Christmas and Easter, and more.
- All of the games and comics include audio narration, so that even children who are still learning to read can enjoy it all.
- The videos and comics provide a depth of education and experience that complements and magnifies the gaming experience, making the characters more real to them and the biblical truths more impactful.
The variety and beauty of the content on the TruPlay app is a part of what makes it the best faith based app for kids–and adults!

For All Ages
My four grandkids and I sat on the couch together for an hour while they each explored the games on their own devices. They range in ages from 4 to 11 and they all found something they really enjoyed. There were giggles and 'oooooh! I'm in the leaderboard!' Great job, TruPlay!
