About this game

Learning becomes an adventure with Antura, the fun-loving dog. Catch living letters hidden around the world, while solving puzzles and earning gifts along the way.

Winner of several international awards, Antura and the Letters is a free mobile game that mixes the best of entertainment technology with practical educational content to give kids, ages 5-10, an engaging learning experience.

Ratings and reviews

Nice game, but repeating problem I will change the rating to excellent after receive a reply. We're facing the problem on the level 1-5 on different devices. After you finish first part of the level, there is a dancing letter and it doesn't react on any actions or touches. Please fix the problem, as the game is really nice and helps my kids a lot!

The game is so fun, the art and mechanics are well done working together, the narrtion is so much fun, speaking to boy or girl to improve relation btw game and kids , but i have a couple of notes: #- Choosing age doesn't affect way of games specially in older ages, The games are the same and way of narrtion is same. Really boring. #- Random letters doesn't help earliar age from knowing letters for correct order. #-Repeating letters and activities/games totally unpleaset to play for more 5 min.

I really love this application, super cool not only for kids. But I faced with problem on step 1-3, cannot pass this level because of some bugs, so cannot continue to play ( very sad about that (
