Where the People Come From
All people in the game are real, notable public figures — politicians, athletes, artists, scientists, journalists, and more — drawn from all 22 Arab countries.
The database was built by querying Wikidata — the free, structured knowledge base that underpins Wikipedia. Each person was verified to have a publicly available image on Wikimedia Commons, an English name, a confirmed birth year, and a clear country of origin.
Arabic names and transliterations were sourced from the Arabic editions of Wikipedia via the Wikidata API.
