Digital Praise was an American Christian-themed video game developer. It has produced Dance Praise,[1] Guitar Praise,[2] Adventures in Odyssey,[1] Light Rangers: Mending the Maniac Madness,[3] VeggieTales' Dance, Dance, Dance,[4] and other video games.

It won the Addy Awards for "Mixed Media (Cross Platform) Campaign" in 2008.[5] It intended to merge with Inspired Media Entertainment (formerly Left Behind Games),[3] which closed in 2011. At the time of the merger's announcement, Digital Praise was the largest private Christian game developer in the global market.[6][7] The merger never occurred, however, and the deal was lost due to Left Behind Games reneging their end of the contract.[8][9]
