Guardians of Ancora is a new digital environment for 8 to 11-year-olds that combines the excitement and creativity of a high-spec online game with an immersive experience of Bible content and faith formation. Delivered via app and free of charge, Guardians of Ancora aims to provide a fun and positive social space where children can explore their relationship with God and the Bible.
The game includes two interactive Bible quests, quizzes and challenges, access to videos, space to reflect on the experience. More Bible quests and other content will be released regularly throughout the summer.
What’s great is the game meets children where they are at with their interests, and is instinctively compelling for them, offering the wealth of God’s Word freely, and potentially opening a doorway into a life with him forever.
We asked three ‘game’ volunteers – Daisy (6), Poppy (8) and Caroline (old enough to know better!) to test the app and tell us what they thought. Here’s their reviews…
Daisy: “It’s OK but quite difficult to control, which makes me frustrated!”
Poppy: “If they can sort out a few of the glitches and it will be good. I like the adventures you can have and I’ve learned things from the Bible.”
Caroline: “A good game but they do need to sort some minor glitches out. It’s very addictive and very informative - as soon as you’ve learned the controls, you can travel through the different stories of the Bible.....and passing these, you get points which link with other stories and create a timeline. Overall it’s a really good game for ages 8+ because of the controls.”
Guardians of Ancora is available to download for free from the iTunes App Store, Google Play and the Kindle Fire Store.
