Looking for a Bible-based game the whole family can enjoy? Load the Ark brings the story of Noah to life through a colorful tile-matching puzzle where players pair up animals and guide them onto the ark.^1
Explore diverse environments — from African savannas to icy tundras to South America — matching animal pairs as the challenge grows with each level. Along the way, discover real facts about animals (including their conservation status) in the built-in "Arkopedia," test your Bible knowledge with surprise quizzes, and follow an original comic book retelling the story of Noah's Ark.^2
What sets Load the Ark apart is its heart for stewardship. The game's news section highlights the work of Christian conservation and humanitarian organizations, and DayStar Media Labs has partnered with Compassion International, Plant with Purpose, and A Rocha to weave real-world impact into the gameplay experience.^3 The game is free, collects no user data, and is built by a nonprofit team of siblings and friends rooted in faith.^4
Why Christians Love It"Very visually appealing and with good cause/background story! Played with my daughter for long time and didn't get tired."^5
"This game is a blast! The discovery of different animals, opening new pages of the online comic, and even the small but notable location changes in each continent you unlock is just perfect. Really recommend this to people who love the Bible and animals."^6
"Downloaded for my grandkids, but it's actually kind of fun for adults as well. Very cute art."^5
