Lightside Games Brings The Bible Miniseries to Facebook
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – March 12, in the year of our
Lord 2013 – Lightside Games—the leader in biblically
inspired gaming on Facebook—launches Light the Way: The Bible, a Hidden
Object game based on the record-setting History Channel
miniseries The Bible, which is currently airing.
In Light the Way: The Bible players search for hidden objects,
solve puzzles and find differences in side-by-side scene
comparisons. And they can keep score and share their progress.
The game features illustrations of biblical stories with images
and music from The Bible series. Light the Way: The Bible is
Lightside Games’ third biblical game on Facebook and will launch
soon as the first biblical game built for the iPads and iPhone
platform.
“Lightside Games clearly shares our passion for telling the
timeless stories of the Bible in new, engaging yet accurate
ways,” said Mark Burnett, producer of The Bible series as well
as Survivor, The Apprentice and The Voice. “Lightside Games is
the perfect partner to create a family-friendly tablet game
based on our series The Bible.”
The series debuted to 27 million viewers on March 3, topping all
shows for the night—cable and broadcast. It was the
highest-rated show ever on History and the highest-rated cable
show so far in 2013.

“Light the Way: The Bible weaves actual scenes from The Bible
series into a high-quality, biblically inspired experience that
adults and children will love to play,” said Brent Dusing,
Lightside Games founder and CEO. “Light the Way: The Bible is an
entertaining, enjoyable game. Players can explore scenes from
the scriptures, solving challenges and having a great time doing
it.”
Lightside is known for the biblical Facebook games Journey of
Moses and Journey of Jesus: The Calling, which have attracted
close to five million players. Now, in Light the Way: The Bible,
players enter the world of the Bible through screen shots from
The Bible miniseries that bring scriptural stories to life.
Players search for hidden objects, solve puzzles and find
differences in comparable scenes. Solving the challenges of one
scene unlocks the opportunity to advance through the entire
story. Players keep score as they progress and share their
achievements with Facebook friends.
“We hope The Bible series excites people to open their Bibles
and reconnect with the wonderful stories and timeless truths
inside,” Downey said. “Light the Way: The Bible is the perfect
way for teachers, parents and children to have fun while
exploring the scriptures and engaging with The Bible series.”
More than 250 million people worldwide play social games on
Facebook and 175 million play on mobile devices. Light the Way:
The Bible offers Christians and non-Christians, adults and
children an alternative that features great fun, enjoyable
challenge, biblical inspiration and a new way to connect the
world’s best-selling book—the Bible.
