LANTERN VILLAGE · A GAME IN DEVELOPMENT
Four familiar friends. One gentle teacher. A world we’re building for curious children to explore, work together and practise little acts of goodness.
Try a little learning adventureAn interactive GAME in development. Try the small web challenge below. The full 3D game is not released.
A HOME FOR EVERY LITTLE LIGHT
We’re designing Lantern Village as a browser-based learning adventure: a sleepy home village waiting for its lanterns to glow, an observatory travel map, thoughtful story quests, and journeys inspired by places across the Muslim world.
The idea is simple. Notice a problem, think about it with the League, try a helpful action, and return home with something worth remembering. A verified verse and a gentle reflection connect the story to learning. Return home to light a lantern and earn play coins—then choose something for your village or the pretend sadaqa lantern. Real giving, if introduced, would always be a separate parent-gated action.
On our planned travel map: Córdoba, Cairo, Fez, Samarkand and Al-Quds. Picture child-sized discovery missions: noticing patterns, helping a neighbour, exploring with friends. Destinations, age-tiered activities and cosmetics remain in development; the illustrations below explore early possibilities.
Small choices. Shared adventures. Light in hearts.
Look closely. Who needs help? What could we do?
Pause with Ustadh Kareem for a gentle question.
Share an idea, work together, and try again.
Reflect on the lesson and celebrate the effort.
Planned learning flow. Final mechanics, rewards and supported devices are still being developed.
TRY A LITTLE OF THE IDEA · INTERACTIVE WEB PREVIEW
Try three akhlaq and game-learning questions with Ustadh Kareem. No timer. No lost lives. There is always another chance.
The full 3D Lantern Village game is in development. This small web challenge demonstrates our planned try–learn–light–earn loop; it is not the finished game.
We can take our time and think together.
Demo coins only. No money, discounts, donations, accounts or child information. Progress stays in this page and resets when you leave or reload.
This fixed-choice preview uses the project’s curated cards “kindness-01” and “coins-01”. Ustadh Kareem’s source explanation is displayed unchanged after the everyday scenario feedback. It does not generate scripture, hadith, tafsir, religious rulings or sacred audio. No open-ended chat or child data is collected by this demo.
A MOVING LOOK AT OUR IMAGINATION
Start at your village observatory, then imagine three journeys with the League.
Animated concept artwork. Not gameplay.
Your village. A world to discover.
Camera movement and transitions applied to our original illustrations. The characters are not yet independently animated. Locations and missions are concepts, not confirmed game features. Explore the development journal ↗
FROM OUR EXPLORATION JOURNAL
Imagine the League exploring places inspired by Istanbul, Samarkand and Fez. These fictional story ideas and newly created illustrations explore a possible direction for the game. They are not confirmed playable destinations or historical reconstructions.
FICTIONAL MISSION CONCEPT · ISTANBUL
On an Istanbul-inspired terrace, imagine the League discovering scattered library supplies. With Ustadh Kareem nearby, they sort the books and materials into a cart everyone can use.
FICTIONAL MISSION CONCEPT · SAMARKAND
Imagine a colorful geometric puzzle on its own tabletop in a Registan-inspired setting. The friends try different shapes, listen to each other’s ideas, and discover why a little patience helps.
FICTIONAL MISSION CONCEPT · FEZ
Imagine a courtyard garden inspired by Fez. The League works together on a little wooden water-channel puzzle, helping water reach the potted plants while sharing the tasks.
FAMILIAR FRIENDS. FRESH DISCOVERIES.
The same Little Lantern League you meet in the stories is at the heart of the game we are imagining.

A GUIDE, NEVER A GUESS
Our planned teacher experience uses gentle questions, story context and encouragement. The goal is to give children room to think, make a choice, and try again without shame.
Faith-related content must come from the project’s approved sources: verified Qur’an resources, curated teaching material and the lesson being taught. The mentor must not invent scripture or religious rulings. Questions outside that scope are deferred to parents and qualified teachers.
Qur’an recitation must come from authentic human recordings. It is never generated by the character’s speaking voice.
These are development requirements, not a claim that every planned feature is already available.
BUILT WITH FAMILIES IN MIND
The final experience needs to earn your trust as carefully as it earns your child’s curiosity.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
We’ll share confirmed details as development moves forward.
