The horse-race board game, played with what you know

A cross-shaped board of 52 squares, four stables, four horses each — and not a single die. On your turn, you draw a card. Its value, from 1 to 6, is the number of squares to travel: it only counts if you answer the question that comes with it correctly.

Here, luck never stands in for the answer.

Iqra, “Read”, written in Arabic

Iqra“Read”

The name

The first word

Iqra — “Read” — opens Sūrat al-ʿAlaq, which tradition reports as the first verse revealed.

IqraQuest takes its name from that imperative. Read, learn, seek: here knowledge is the engine of the game, not its scenery. Every gallop is earned with an answer, and every answer opens onto a source and an explanation. The race is the pretext; knowledge is the journey.

The quest

A quest through Islamic knowledge

Five realms, three levels, 900 questions. Each one cites its source and explains itself in a sentence.

Five realms

  1. 01

    The Prophets

    250 questions

    The stories, the trials and the signs of the prophets named in the Qur’an.

  2. 02

    The Sīra

    250 questions

    The life of the Prophet ﷺ and of his companions, event by event.

  3. 03

    The Qur’an

    150 questions

    The sūras, their names, their verses and what they teach.

  4. 04

    Faith

    150 questions

    The pillars, the angels, the revealed Books, the Last Day.

  5. 05

    Virtues

    100 questions

    What the Prophet ﷺ taught about good conduct and good speech.

Three questions, as they appear in the game

Taken from the bank. Tap an answer: you will see what the player sees — the right answer, an explanation, and the exact source.

ProphetsEasy

Which prophet built the ark by Allah's command?

SīraIntermediate

Which young companion served the Prophet ﷺ for ten years without ever hearing a reproach?

Qur’anExpert

What is the name of the 19th surah, named after the mother of Isa?

Where the questions come from

From the Qur’an, or from a hadith reported in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī or Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. The few widely established descriptive facts that point to no single work — a name, a number, a unanimous practice — are marked as such rather than tied to an invented reference. At the slightest doubt, the question is dropped.

Progress, not a mark

Right answers in a row open the knowledge streak. These bonuses can only be earned through knowledge.

  1. The shield

    Three right answers in a row: your horse is protected from capture.

  2. The Grand Galop

    Five in a row: +2 gallops in reserve, spent automatically when they are enough to cross the finish.

  3. The mastery badge

    Ten in a row: the badge that says you know.

In four moves

How you play

No dice, no menus, no confirmation button. A turn takes four moves.

  1. Answer

    You draw a card. It announces its value before opening its question, at your level: easy, intermediate or expert.

  2. Advance

    A right answer is worth exactly the number of squares announced. You touch a horse, its golden square lights up, you set it down there.

  3. Make the most of the course

    Bonus squares, shortcuts, captures: the course can speed up your race. Everything is visible on the board before you set off.

  4. Reach your goal

    Ride your horses all the way home. In a quick game, the first one home wins; in a classic game, all four of your stable have to come back.

The game

A real board, not a quiz

Every screen in IqraQuest has been composed like a piece of the game: the board is painted, the horses are sculpted, and the question opens in the middle of the game rather than in its place.

Everything about the game
The cross-shaped IqraQuest board mid-race: 52 squares, four landscape panels, the four stables' horses spread along the course and inlaid +5, +10 and +20 bonus squares.
  • A hand-painted board

    52 squares in a cross, four landscape panels, a double gold rule and an eight-pointed star at each corner.

  • Four stables, four symbols

    Émeraude, Saphir, Grenat, Safran. Each team carries a colour and a symbol — never colour alone, so the board stays readable for everyone.

  • The gesture is the move

    No distance picker, no confirmation. You slide the horse onto its square: setting it down is the move.

  • What a ride pays

    A bonus square reached on an exact count is worth +5, +10 or +20. A capture is worth 20. Nothing ever overshoots the finish.

  • The knowledge streak

    Right answers in a row pay off: a shield at three, the Grand Galop at five, a mastery badge at ten.

  • The Daily Challenge

    Five questions a day, offline, with a score to share. Enough to bring you back without thinking about it.

The world

An adventure guided by knowledge

IqraQuest draws on the landscapes and architectural heritage of historic Arabia, in an artistic interpretation made for the game.

Oases, high ground, palm groves, caravan roads, stylised architecture: the world of IqraQuest is told through its places. You travel it, you stop in it, you arrive — and it is knowledge that moves you forward.

What the game never depicts

Out of respect, IqraQuest depicts neither Allah, nor the prophets, nor the companions as characters, and invents no sacred scene. Religious elements are never used as mere decoration: holy sites appear as landmarks on the board, never as objects to own or capture.

  • The finishing oasis

    The destination of the course: water, palm trees, low light. This is the image the game shows when a horse comes home.

  • The desert and its high ground

    From ochre expanses to shadowed mountains, each region gives the course its colour and its pace.

  • The Arabian horses

    Four coats, four caparisons, four banners. These are the game pieces, and they are what you watch run.

For the whole family

A seven-year-old and an adult really do play together

Each player chooses their own question level before the game. The board stays the same for everyone.

  • Learning without feeling like studying

    The question arrives in the middle of a race. You answer it to move, not to be marked.

  • Challenge your family and friends

    Two to four players on one device, or solo against one to three opponents.

  • Discover, or revisit what you know

    Every answer comes with its source and a short explanation. You learn even when you get it wrong.

Four stables, four symbols

Each team carries a colour and a symbol — never colour alone, so the board stays readable for everyone.

  • Émeraude

    The star

    Grey coat

  • Saphir

    The compass

    Bay coat

  • Grenat

    The lantern

    Chestnut coat

  • Safran

    The book
