Faith-Based Gaming Platform Set to Revive Iconic Bible Game, Offering a Safe Digital Haven for Kids
As the surge in support for Christian media continues, a faith-based gaming company out of Austin, Texas is positioning itself as the leader in quality, faith-based, family-friendly gaming and entertainment options for young kids.
“Children deserve a safe place to enjoy fun and engaging games that build character and nurture faith,” said Brent Dusing, Founder and CEO of TruPlay.

The fact is kids are spending up to seven hours a day on their screens, Dusing and company believe that this presents an opportunity to reach kids with the gospel and provide needed peace of mind to parents seeing their kids enjoying wholesome entertainment.
Issues of Anxiety, Depression, Suicide Plague the Next Generation
With digital-age issues of anxiety, depression, and suicide at an all-time high and a decline in faith among children, TruPlay offers parents options to help children avoid toxic content and provide safe screen time that promotes Christian truth and values all while entertaining. The company’s data shows that kids are twice as likely to return to TruPlay’s suite of games over Roblox or Minecraft throughout the course of one week.
It’s for these reasons that the company is seeking outside support in the form of a Kickstarter campaign to relaunch their flagship game, “The Journey of Jesus” to help even more people hear the gospel.
Entertainment the Whole Family Can Participate In
The games are made for kids, but can be something the whole family can do together and grow in there faith. Whether parents join in the fun is still to be told, but one thing is for certain, kids are impressionable and if we’re not reaching and teaching them the things of God, the world is.
“There’s something called the 4-14 window, where 65% of people who decide to follow Christ in their life make the decision in that timeframe,” Dusing shared with THRIVE! News, “So it’s crucial for parents.”
Additionally, according to The Barna Group, those who embrace Christ before age 13 are much more likely to remain committed to their faith into adulthood.
World-Class Developers
“Our team includes world-class developers who have worked on games you’ve played and products you use every day,” Dusing added. “They are now at TruPlay because they want to make a positive impact on the lives of those who play the games they create. Your support is vital for the continuous production of high-quality Christian games.”
Backers of TruPlay’s Kickstarter campaign will help create a more enriching digital environment for the next generation, attract and retain top talent, and accelerate the production and distribution of Christian content worldwide.
