Christians have had a bad rep for not creating good art. Whether it’s literal drawings, music, movies, or even video games, people are quick to point out how unentertaining a lot of their content can be.
While this can be true for some productions, it can’t be said for all. In regards to video games, I struggled to find games that included my faith in Christ and belief in God that were made with excellence. Let’s be real, video games need to be good for people to play them, especially with the competition there is out there for our time and money!
Because I have played and found some that fit that criteria, I wanted to highlight those games below. This is a list of strictly Christian based games with links to play them, as well as a list of creators or companies that you can check out for new games.
If you would like to add a game or content creator/company, let me know in the comments or message me! Always looking to add more, and I definitely have not found all of them.

Funhill Games began with a teen Bible study group in Friendswood, Texas. I was trying to think of a way to teach Ancient Israel geography and locations to my group of teens. Being an avid board gamer, I thought a fun way of doing so would be to design a board game around that idea. After a couple months of work I tested the game out with my group and it went over pretty well! After that test, I thought I should go ahead and expand it to a fully published game called, “Kings of Israel”. After finding some artists to work on the game, and many many hours of playtesting and game design work, Kings of Israel was put on Kickstarter and its printing was funded!
Since then about nine years have passed and we have since published a video game version of Kings of Israel, four more board games, and a puzzle! We will continue to publish whatever Biblically-themed idea that pops into our head and we hope to create fun things for a long time in the future!
