Parents FAQ
It's a simple game, but the life in it is real: doing good, trusting God, and knowing that Peter, Mary, Stephen and Rhoda were real people, saints who pray for us still. We hope it sets your children on fire with love for Jesus.
The game
Does my child need to read?
No. Every line is voiced, and every choice has a speaker button, so children who can't read yet can follow by listening.
What does it cost?
Chapter 1 is free to play, with no ads.
Where can we play?
In a browser at play.bibletown.app, on a computer, tablet or phone, with nothing to install. An iPhone and iPad app is coming soon to the App Store.
How much of the game is ready?
Chapter 1, Waiting for the Promise, is ready now. Chapters 2 to 6 will open as each one is finished. Between chapters, children can explore Jerusalem any time.
Can each child have their own player?
In the app, yes: up to eight children each get their own player and save. Removing a player happens in the Grown-ups corner, behind a grown-up question. A browser keeps one player.
Privacy and safety
Does BibleTown collect anything about my child?
No. There are no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking. The browser version loads from our own server and nowhere else, and saves progress in your browser, on your device. The privacy policy has the details.
Does the app go online?
No. The App Store version is made for the Kids category: everything is inside the app, and it never connects to the internet.
Scripture and the faith
What point of view is it written from?
A Catholic one. The story follows Acts closely, and Scripture is quoted from the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE).
How does it show the first Christians?
As the Jewish men and women they were: keeping the feasts, praying at the Temple and breaking bread together. Inside the story, people only say and do what fits their own time.
How does it connect to the Church today?
After each chapter, a Friends in Heaven card shows a saint from the story, with their feast day and a line of Scripture, and the family prays together, one line at a time. The Chapter Complete card gives one thing to try at home. Story Time in the Journal has deeper pages to read with a grown-up, like the first novena and Mary, Mother of the Church, with Catechism references.
What are the Fruits of the Spirit in the game?
The twelve Fruits of the Holy Spirit, as the Catechism lists them (CCC 1832). They are gifts, not prizes: at the end of each chapter, the game shows the Holy Spirit growing one of them in your child, and it appears on their own tree at home.
I found something that isn't right in the story.
Please tell us at support@bibletown.app. We want the game to be faithful to Scripture, to the Church's teaching, and to life in first-century Jerusalem, and we read every note.
