## What is Antura and the Letters?

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.

### 5/5 — Both616

*2025-12-26, version 2.3.5*

Both616

### 5/5 — Color Tickle

*2023-08-05, version 2.3.5*

On the English Color Tickle, it dosen’t work. Beacuse everytime you try to paint the letter it just ends up tickling them.
Please fix this bug!

### 1/5 — لا تخلطوا المفاهيم لاطفالنا

*2022-08-17, version 2.2.1*

حبيت اللعبه الا انو ما اعجبن ان حين اختيار الشخصيه اخير بين الولد والبنت وحين اختياري بنت يظهر لي شخصيات مخلوطه بين الذكور والاناث وليس فقط اناث وحين اختار ولد يطهر لي شخصيات مخلوطه بين الذكور والاناث وليس فقط ذكور 

فانا لا افهم لماذا خلط هذا المعنى للاطفال ؟

### 5/5 — مفيدة وممتعة جداً

*2021-12-07, version 2.0.0*

اللعبة مفيدة جداً، فكرتها وتصاميمها ورسوماتها واصواتها جميلة للغاية. إختلاف تخصيص النطق للبنت والولد جداً رائع وأقرب للواقع وأفضل فالتعليم والتمييز للطفل. 
ابنتي ذات الخمس سنوات استمتعت جداً باللعب مع عنتورة وأصبحت شخصيتها المفضلة التي تضحكها دائماً، مع العلم انها كانت دائماً ماتمل من تعليم الحروف باستخدام العديد من التطبيقات الأخرى. 

شكراً جزيلاً لجعل هذه اللعبة متاحة للجميع جزاكم الله خيراً.

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2021-01-23*

My son loves this app to learn Arabic. We’re non native speakers and I can see him really engaging with the games. Although it would be nice if there was an option to hear instructions in English, as I have no clue what were meant to do with that dog 😂 but thanks again ! Great app :)

### 4/5 — K

*2020-10-13, version 1.2.0*

I agree

### 5/5 — Great app but need directions in English

*2020-05-31, version 1.2.0*

Best app to learn to read Arabic for kids, but all directions are given in Arabic. If there was a way to hear audio in English, it would make it so much easier for a large part of the non-Arabic speaking world to help their kids learn Arabic reading. Highly required these days especially by Muslim families

### 3/5 — تطبيق رائع مع ضرورة إجراء بعض التعديلات

*2020-01-27, version 1.2.0*

فكرة التطبيق من حيث المبدأ رائعة لكن الصعوبة تكمن بعدم قدرة الطفل على معرفة الخطوة التالية 
تحاول ابنتي منذ شهور تخطي المرحلة الأولى عند إغلاق التطبيق والعودة إليه ترغم على اللعب من البداية مما أفقدها الاهتمام بالمتابعة وأشعرها بالملل 

أتمنى بالتعديلات القادمة أن يراعى هذا الأمر 
بالإضافة لتصحيح بعض الأخطاء التقنية على سبيل المثال :
خسارة القلوب بالمرحلة الثانية على الرغم من تقديم الإجابة الصحيحة .
شكرا لكم

### 1/5 — طز عليكن و على التطبيق

*2019-10-30, version 1.2.0*

طز عليكن و على هالتطبيق، بجيب الجلطة،،، عمري ٤٠ سنة و طلع روحي...

### 5/5 — This is great App.

*2019-01-18, version 1.2.0*

The app is fun, easy to use, and keep the children engaged. I hope the developers  can expand on the concept.
