Guardians of Ancora

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 initially 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.

Designed for tablet computers and smartphones, it offers a series of adventures which not only introduce the user to key Biblical stories and concepts the story but invite the child to participate to “recover the lost stories of Ancora and save the City of Light”. The program is touch-animated. Artwork and language are attractive and highly accessible for most primary-age children.

This is a major project by Scripture Union in England. The app is linked to a Facebook page and website, though is not currently playable on PCs or laptop computers.
