✦ Free Bible study game
Living Word – Bible Study Game
A free 3D game that walks you through the Bible chapter by chapter, from Genesis to Revelation. Each chapter is read exactly as Scripture is written, and every thread leads to Jesus.
Living Word
Walk through the Bible as a witness, chapter by chapter. The game loads right here on this page.
What it is
You step into each chapter as a witness. The text is read word for word, the people are where the verses place them, and nothing is added or taken away. You can read in the Berean Standard Bible, the World English Bible or the King James Version, or open the chapter in another language.
Along the way you find study notes, history, the Hebrew and Greek behind the words, and threads that show how the Old Testament points to Christ. Then you stop to reflect, and carry a verse with you.
Hebrew and Greek
Tap any word to see the original Hebrew or Greek, its Strong’s number, and every verse that uses it.
Notes and history
Study notes, cross references, history and archaeology, every one with its source.
Threads to Jesus
Collect the threads where the New Testament itself shows how the Old Testament points to Christ.
Remember and reflect
Memory verses, reflection questions, a verse of the day, and reading plans to walk with friends.
Free, anywhere
Plays in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to buy and nothing to download.
Why it helps spread the Gospel
Many people have never read the Bible for themselves. Living Word gives them a free and simple way to open it: the whole story of Scripture, exactly as written, with Jesus at the center from the first page to the last.
It is easy to pass along. Send it to a friend, a grandchild, a youth group, or someone you meet at the market, then sit down and walk through a chapter together. We sow the seed; God gives the increase.
Why the game uses open translations
Living Word reads the Berean Standard Bible, the World English Bible and the King James Version, and 1,086 more translations in 860 languages. All of them are open: anyone may keep, read aloud and share them freely. The game needs that freedom to do what it does.
- Exact, word for wordThe game keeps the full text of every chapter and checks every scene against it, so nothing is added or taken away.
- Heard in natural voicesEach chapter is recorded once in natural voices and kept, so it plays at once for everyone after that.
- Free on every deviceIt plays on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for.
- In many languagesOpen translations let the game offer the chapter in hundreds of languages, not just English.
What about the ESV, NIV and NLT?
Those translations, like the NKJV, CSB and NASB, belong to their publishers. Free access is offered to small non-commercial sites, but within limits: a few hundred verses at a time, only a few hundred verses kept, and a set number of requests each day. Keeping whole chapters, checking every word against them and recording them in natural voices takes a full license from each publisher. Each publisher sets its own terms and price, and some license only to organizations. We will add a translation only after its publisher gives permission, and your gifts are what would pay for it.

One gift, two fields
Gifts to the farm’s Christian ministry do both: they put Bibles, Jesus figurines, stickers and Scripture bracelets into hands at markets, festivals and events, and they keep Living Word free and growing, with more translations as publishers allow.
These are estimates from published prices as of November 2026. Real costs depend on how many people play and listen and on each publisher’s terms.
