Anatomy of a card

An image to look at, a text to read.

Every card has two sides. On the front, a painted scene. On the back, the Bible story, its reference and a detail to look for. You play, and you learn without even noticing.

In the Bible story

La naissance de Jésus

A birth in Bethlehem

According to Luke, Jesus is born in Bethlehem. Mary lays him in a manger. Shepherds, told by an angel, come to see him.

Luke 2:1-7

A detail to look for. A manger is used to feed animals. In Luke’s account, it welcomes the newborn.

Your collection

Every card finds its place.

An album to complete, duplicates that come in handy, a showcase to arrange and medals that grow with you.

The album, in collection order

Characters first, then the scenes from the Annunciation to the Ascension, the parables and the teachings. Search for a character or a scene, filter by rarity. The album stays available offline.

Our giving project

A game that gives back.

We intend to give 30% of HolyDex revenue to Christian foundations, associations and parishes.

  • For whom

    Christian foundations, associations and parishes, who will be able to introduce themselves to us.

  • Where the money comes from

    From purchases of divine dust, the only purchase offered in the app. The game itself stays free.

  • Fully transparent

    The amounts given and their recipients will be published on this site.

Do you represent a parish, an association or a foundation? Write to us at support@holydex-app.com.

Project being set up: the basis of calculation, the choice of recipients and the payment schedule will be specified before the first donation.

Our commitments

An honest game, with no unpleasant surprises.

HolyDex is free to play, ad-free, with rules written in black and white.

  • Truly free

    Boosters cannot be bought: a new one arrives every 12 hours.

  • No ads

    No advertising, no banners, no videos.

  • Guaranteed draws

    The fifth card is always Rare or better. A Very rare or Divine card arrives by booster 14 at the latest.

  • Denarii you earn

    They come from duplicates and missions. They can never be bought.

  • Divine dust, optional

    Bought in the shop, it only shortens the wait for a booster. You can play everything without it.

  • Your data respected

    Sign in with Apple, with no name or email shared. Delete your account whenever you like, from the app.
