Antura and the Letters – Family Game Review
Antura and the Letters is a Family/Education/Word game from Videojuegos Sin Fronteras, first launched in 16th March 2017.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 24+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Antura and the Letters Stand Out
Learning becomes an adventure with Antura, the fun-loving dog. Catch living letters hidden around the world, while solving puzzles and earning gifts along the way. With Antura, kids will be able to easily develop their language skills as they progress through the game one step at a time. You don’t need internet access to play, so your child can learn anywhere!
Winner of several international awards, Antura and the Letters is a free mobile game that mixes the best of entertainment technology with practical educational content to give kids, ages 5-10, an engaging learning experience. It was created to help children that are not able to attend schools, mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine, but any child can easily play and learn with Antura.
This original Arabic project was funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and developed by the Cologne Game Lab, Video Games Without Borders and Wixel Studios. Later on, several additional partners joined and helped adapt the game to address other emergencies and learning needs in different contexts with the priority set on 3 humanitarian crises: Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine.
Currently, Antura and the Letters supports the following languages…
- English
- French
- Spanish
- Italian
- German
- Polish
- Romanian
- Hungarian
- Ukrainian
- Russian
- Arabic
- Dari Persian
… and it helps children to learn to read in their mother language (Arabic and Dari Persian)
as well as discovering a variety of foreign languages:
- English
- French
- Spanish
- Italian
- German
- Polish
- Hungarian
- Romanian

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
On the English Color Tickle, it dosent work. Beacuse everytime you try to paint the letter it just ends up tickling them. Please fix this bug.
The app is fun, easy to use, and keep the children engaged. We hope the developers can expand on the concept.
We love this app, Im using it for ourselves and we love it.
Thank you it was fun for kids. Great job.
Antura is fun for all to play. The voice in the game is very friendly, and the clear pronunciation very much helps grasp the sounds of each letter. Great for kids ages 5-10.
This contest-winning game is built specifically for Arabic children on the move – #SyrianRefugees. Not only does it help them learn to read and write, but it helps them have fun and attain some level of normalcy amidst their disrupted education. Brilliant all around.
