Winner of the international EduApp4Syria competition, Antura and the Letters is a free, playful smartphone game that mixes the best entertainment technology with practical Arabic educational content to give kids, ages 5 - 10, an engaging learning experience. Antura was created to support children that are not able to attend schools, but any child can play and learn Arabic easily for free.

Collaborating with expert educators and psychologists, the development team transformed the principles of reading Arabic into a fun journey in which kids progress at their own speed. Each success is rewarded with bones that are used to unlock many different colourful items. This not only reinforces Arabic skills but also enables children to create their own, unique Antura. The design and impact of this game has been successfully verified to improve reading. This was done through multiple playtests and an independent 3rd party analysis. They reported that the game “engaged children regardless of literacy level, age or gender”.

This project was funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and developed by Cologne Game Lab, Video Games Without Borders and Wixel Studios.
