Read full description

Seyyah is an application which gives voice to the places which you pass through every day. Through Seyyah, the places tell you their stories, ask you questions and give you book points in return. Users receive notification from the talking places in a distance of 100 meters on their mobile devices when they are connected to the internet and activate the location services. They earn book points by reading the history of these places and answering questions. This application was created by the Bible Society in Turkey as a gift for the people living in Turkey for the occasion of the celebration of the bicentennial of its activities in 2020. It aims to make visible our country's less known historical cultural heritage. For more information, please visit our website. The book points can be used as discount (for predetermined products) or gift books at the sales point of the Bible Society (Kitabı Mukaddes Şirketi) in Turkey.
