Winner of the international competition EduApp4Syria, "Antura and Letters" is a free and fun game on smartphone. It combines the best of entertainment technology with Arabic educational and practical content for children aged 5 to 10 years old. Reading becomes a captivating experience. Antura was created to help children who can not go to school, to allow them to play and learn Arabic easily and for free.

In collaboration with educators and psychologists, the development team has turned the curriculum of learning Arabic elementary into a fun adventure. Children evolve at their own pace, step by step. Each success is rewarded with colorful objects. Children can then use these items to customize Antura and make it unique. The impact of this game on improving reading has been measured successfully through several Playtests and a third party independent study. They concluded that the game "Engages and involves children without distinctions of age, gender or literacy level".

This project was funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and developed by the Cologne Game Lab, Video Games Without Borders and Wixel Studios.
