We are building an interactive content Platform for children. Our platform resonates with our 4 Foundations of Fun, Beauty, Excellence, and God’s Truth. Children spend countless hours on screens. There is hardly any faith-based content in the app stores. TruPlay is an engaging and transformative entertainment platform that invites you into a world of hope and God’s truth. It features faith-based games bringing the Bible to life for the whole family.
TruPlay, join us today and play in the light.
