TruPlay: Quality Bible Games Ratings and Reviews

I used to be somewhat of a gamer when I was in high school. Zelda, FF, Kingdom Hearts.. so RPG games are near and dear to my heart. I also know the downsides all too well. When we started inching towards video games apart from learning our letters and phonics, I realized I wanted something Christ-centered. We tried a Christian game on the computer, but it was constantly glitching. Shortly after, I found TruPlay. I thought it’d probably glitch too, because, well… Christian games are just behind! But zero glitches and many plays later: I am so so glad we bought this. The other day we were out biking with our kids and my daughter began having a rough time with the bumps and puddles. I tried encouraging her, reminding her she can do hard things. Then she began pedaling and shouting “I am a brave fox, like my parents!” That’s what one of the little characters says on TruPlay! And that’s not an isolated incident. She and her brother will run around the house pretend-playing they’re the characters in the game. They attack evil monsters in Jesus’ name! C’mon, now!! I find myself wanting a go at these games myself. I look forward to one day buying an iPad and being able to play on a bigger screen together. But yeah, way to go, developers! You’ve got TruPlay fans in this house.

Hello JoMulv! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with TruPlay.

It's incredibly rewarding to know that our games have not only provided entertainment but also inspired moments of courage and imaginative play in your children. We're thrilled to hear that TruPlay has become a beloved addition for your family. We love to hear that Maple inspired your daughter to be strong and courageous, and we're ecstatic to hear she and her brother can follow along with their favorite characters fighting the evil monsters in Jesus' name—it's moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Thank you once again for your kind words and for being part of the TruPlay community. We look forward to bringing you more adventures in the future!

I can’t say how grateful I am that this app exists. As a mother to an 11 year old with a very creative mind, its all I can do to try and introduce him to entertainment that kids his age enjoy while still being connected to Christ. I asked him to try these games and unsurprisingly, he was reluctant and annoyed. But now I find him playing it all the time, and he admitted to me he really likes it. Thank you for helping a mother keep her son engaged in God’s message!

(Also, please please please consider making an interactive math and reading game as well!)

Hello VLoh77-- We are so happy to hear that our games have been a positive outlet for your son in hearing God's word! We value your input!

I am not completely against it. It’s just a little boring for when you hit the age of 10. Also, it doesn’t let you change your characters look, which is very annoying because that’s the only reason I bought it. wish they had more content and it was a little annoying. They have these little clips of one big story, which I find very boring. 🥱 would recommend if you had a child maybe five or seven. But if you have an older kid looking for a Christian app, this is not the one. Nothing wrong with the content. Just boring. No ads which is good. My family does not like ads, but would add more games and other actually fun stuff like maybe events. But it is not a terrible game. There’s nothing inappropriate and no bad language. it teaches very well. No worries for parents.

We appreciate your feedback and are constantly working on improving our app by adding new games, events and content. We just released a new game called King David's Battles aimed around the age you're looking for. We hope you give it a try and let us know how you like it!

My kids (5&7) LOVE these games and comics. They even prefer them to their console games! And I get comfort knowing they're learning biblical lessons. Some complaints though: Some of the games can be occasionally glitchy on certain levels. Which is frustrating for a 5 year old who wants to beat the boss. The app doesn't work without WiFi. That's annoying since most of our screen time is on road trips and on airplanes. Another totally nit-picky complaint: The app also only works one horizontal direction. In other words I can't turn the iPad 180 degrees (say for charging cord length purposes) because the screen won't flip with it. Most game apps flip with the iPad.
Over all AWESOME app! Just needs some tweaks :)

Hello MalMalJ! Thanks so much for your valuable feedback! We've forwarded your concerns to our team for review. If you have further details, please email us at Support@TruPlaygames.com so we can look at the glitch you may be having. We're thrilled to hear your kids love our games and comics, and we'll work on addressing the glitches and offline mode for a better gameplay experience. Your input helps us improve. Thank you for your support!"

The first two games didn’t work. The play button didn’t work on the Ava one. The lion sword word one would go straight to a black screen after loading. The next game I tried to help my son with was the little flame. Far too hard for him. Would’ve been nice if the scripture at the beginning of each try was narrated audibly, as he can’t read yet. The last we tried was the leap of faith one. No scripture or godly narrative/correlation being narrated to the bug jumping up the branches. Maybe I’ll give it a try in the future once some of the bugs and glitches are addressed. I don’t want my son playing inappropriate games so this seemed awesome. I just don’t want to have to sit here and read him everything on screen as I was hoping he could independently get into gods word in a way.

Hello SpindelSpigot. We’re so sorry to hear about the experience you and little one had with our app. We would love to definitely help you with any glitches you experienced with our app. Please send us an email at support@truplaygames.com. We love the recommendation of narration for the scriptures in Little Light, and we would love more recommendations! Please send more our way!

We just download this game. My kids and I love it! My daughter said when she is playing the game she feels safe and she doesn’t want to go to the other games with ads. Thank you for creating a safe place to play games while spending time with God. I have one question, with the Maple and words of the Forest game are there more chapters than 1 and 2. We were really enjoying this game but can’t see any more chapters to continue. Thank you !

Hello Kelasheim! Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're glad your daughter feels safe and loves TruPlay. One of the main thing we try to achieve here at TruPlay is safety while having fun learning the word of God, and we're so happy to hear your daughter is able to experience that! We're always releasing new content. Keep an eye out for any future chapters! If you have any other questions, please reach out to our support team at support@truplaygames.com!

I allowed our son to download this app due to it being a Christian based gaming app.. And much to my surprise when he opened the app to play some games I saw the game “stained glass” on the main page with “Eve” on the main photo looking like a Kim Kardashian sister and something she’d wear to a Halloween party with her under side breast showing in her tunic… First of all shame on you for allowing that to be approved and to whoever designed Eve.. I thought this was a safe space for me to allow my kid to play some games without having to worry about him seeing that. I guess even a Christian gaming app can’t keep him from the modern age where I guess less is more and women/girls do not wear appropriate clothes.

Tackling the nakedness in the Garden of Eden is definitely a challenge! We compared to other Christian media and how they handled it - we feel we chose a design that was more modest than what's common in this space. That said, we've passed your feedback onto the art team. Thanks

The app games and stories are beautiful. There are a few glitches like story videos going dark during playing and some screens not having a way to go back, but overall very good. My suggestion to the developer would be to add more 5 year old simple games and to have a robust release schedule to keep the value going. Overall, great job!

We have been working hard on improving any errors or bugs, definitely let us know if you find any more! support@truplaygames.com

I love the concept of this app; however, it is definitely geared towards older kids that are fluent in reading and comprehension. I would appreciate more toddler game options and I would love an optional feature where there is an option for directions to be read to the player in all of the games. I love that there is scripture in the games and a positive theme in each of the games. Please, please, please add more age appropriate games for toddlers and early elementary.

Hello Deleted Everything! Thank you so much for your lovely words and feedback. We always love new ideas, and we completely understand wanting something for your younger ones. We'd love to hear more. Please reach out to our Customer Support team at support@truplaygames.com with any feedback or ideas you might have.

Great game for the first week free; however once it charged my card it will not link up and work. Can’t play any of the games, it says subscription required, I press on restore purchases, and nothing works. I’ve deleted and redownloaded. It said when I redownloaded that it looks like my device is already linked to a subscription. Sign in, and same thing. Can’t play any games because it says subscription is required. GRR. Frustrating. I hope you can fix this issue, your games were very fun.
