About Us
Established in 2021 in Ottawa, we are a not-for-profit corporation passionate about educating our current and future generations with stories about our Prophets. We believe the best way to do that is through a fun and safe environment at home. Our plan is not only to sell these educational game boards to the public, but also to donate them to mosques, Islamic schools, and low income families.
01
The Game
Using trivia style questions, ranked easy, medium, and hard, this game does more than help people have fun while learning. It also serves as reference material when trying to reference a Prophet’s story. Our easy-to-read cards help people quickly retrieve information they need and learn a new fact!

First Reviews
¨It was actually a lot of fun we all laughed!¨
¨Easy to play and flow was good.¨

The Goal
With 25 Prophets and their stories, each story provides lessons that can be used in our everyday lives to foster kindness, empathy, and strong community bonds.
The goal of this project is to help us remember the lessons that Prophets have taught us in a simple and fun way. Developed as a board game, Name That Prophet is about having fun while teaching us about Islam through Prophetic stories, promoting knowledge for this world and the next.
04
The Benefits
Players are quizzed on Islamic knowledge through Prophetic stories. In addition, the conversations fostered from these stories serve as lessons that can be applied to daily life.
Parents get a refresher on Prophetic stories and can share them with their children and friends. This benefits parents by fostering close relationships and trust with their children. The game also serves as reference material on stories and lessons that parents can use day-to-day.
Teens can play with their friends and have fun…without any screens! Teens can spend hours behind a screen and this game provides an atmosphere that promotes face-to-face interactions in a safe, judgement-free environment.
05
Why we did this?
In a busy world filled with social media, video games, and sports, it is hard to find the time and energy to teach our kids about the Prophets and their stories. These stories can shape our kids for the better, both in this world and the next.
These stories have been told and heard for generations. However, somehow, we still forget which Prophet did what. Yet, we remember every cartoon princess – and their sidekicks. We designed this innovative, fun game to engrain the stories of the Prophets, their lessons, their struggles and their accomplishments in our youth.

Endorsement
Do not believe the People of the Book and do not deny them.
This is a translated quote from the messenger, narrated by Abu Hurairah. For this reason, we have narrowed down the questions that were found only in the Quran or by Islamic sources. Although interesting to learn and to know, we have omitted sources other than those in the Islamic Teachings for this game. All contents of this game will be thoroughly reviewed and approved by an accredited Imam from our community for accuracy and alignment with Islamic teachings.
