Our worlds

Three worlds. One mission.

Every Halfblood product starts from the same question: how do we make learning feel like play — without ever compromising the child, the fun, or the faith?

Memorize. Play. Grow.

Qurany Kids turns Qur'an memorization into a journey children want to continue. Voice recognition listens as they recite and tracks their hifz automatically, while a Duolingo-style course teaches complete beginners the Qur'anic alphabet from zero — in 15 languages, worldwide.

Run fast.

Run through a living Islamic worldClassic endless-runner flow — coins, boosts, obstacles — in a hand-crafted cultural setting.
2
Answer by running the right gate"Which prayer comes first in the day?" Pick Fajr's gate at full speed — learning never pauses the fun.

Platforming & explorationRooftops, canyons, bazaars and hidden paths reward curiosity at every turn.
Adventure & collectiblesQuests, book pages and treasures give every run a purpose worth chasing.
A world that feels like homeGiving young Muslim players that rare feeling: "this amazing game is set in our geography."
Who we are

A small studio with a big intention.

Halfblood Studio is an independent game and app studio based in Istanbul, Türkiye. We exist for a simple reason: the world's 600 million Muslim children deserve digital worlds that are as beautifully crafted as anything the industry makes — and as safe and true as home.

We are developers, designers and parents with roots in Islamic scholarship. That combination shapes everything we ship: authentic content reviewed with care, game design that respects a child's attention rather than exploiting it, and products released free of ads and dark patterns — multilingual from day one.

Our first product, Qurany Kids, is live worldwide in 15 languages on the App Store and Google Play. Two more worlds — Catch the Prayer and Project A — are in active development. This is only the beginning.

"

We don't make "religious apps with games bolted on." We make genuinely great games — that happen to carry the values we'd teach our own children.

Our promise

We build what we would trust with our own children.

Three principles we never compromise — in any product, in any language.

🎮

Joy-first learning

Real game mechanics, not worksheets in disguise. Progress, rewards, streaks and play carry the lesson.

🛡️

Child-safe by design

No ads, no dark patterns, COPPA-aligned, parental controls built in. A space parents hand over with full confidence.

🕌

Culturally authentic

Islamic worlds built with care and knowledge — environments, stories and content that feel like home.
