How to play
Every quiz is ten multiple-choice questions on the Bible. Choose an answer, see the verse it comes from, and read a short explanation before moving on.
Answering questions
Each question has four options. Tap or click the one you think is right, or move to it with the Tab key and press Enter. Your first choice is final, so read all four before you pick.
The quiz then marks the correct answer, and your own if it was different, and shows the Bible reference along with a sentence or two of explanation. Press Next question when you are ready. There is no timer. You can take as long as you like, or stop to look the passage up.
Scoring
Each correct answer is worth one point, so a quiz is scored out of 10. All questions count the same whatever their difficulty, and there is no penalty for a wrong answer beyond missing the point.
If you press Leave this quiz or close the page partway through, that quiz is dropped and nothing from it is saved.
Kinds of quiz
The Daily Quiz is the same ten questions for everyone on the same calendar date, and changes at midnight on your device. It draws from the 389 questions in a shuffled order that runs for 38 days, and no question repeats within those 38 days. You may replay the day’s quiz, but only your first score is kept.
You can also choose a quiz by subject, as often as you like:
- By testament: Old Testament or New Testament.
- By difficulty: Easy, Medium or Hard. The Hard set is the smallest, at 38 questions.
- By section: Books of Moses, History, Wisdom and Poetry, Prophets, Gospels or Letters.
- By book: Genesis, Exodus, Judges, 1 Samuel, 1 Kings, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Matthew, Luke, John, Acts and Revelation. These are the books with at least ten questions so far.
These quizzes pick ten at random and favor questions you have not seen among your last 200, so repeats stay rare until you have worked through a section.
Streaks and progress
The home screen shows your day streak, best streak, quizzes finished and the share of answers you have got right. Finishing any quiz on a given day, daily or otherwise, keeps your streak going. It lapses once you miss a full day. Replaying a daily quiz you have already finished does not change these numbers.
After a quiz you can share your score. The text shows your score, a row of green and red squares and your streak, but none of the questions or answers. Progress is kept in your browser, so it stays with that device and browser.
Tips
- Read the explanation even when you were right. It often adds the detail that helps with a related question later.
- Note the reference on any question you miss, then read the surrounding chapter. The story sticks better than the single fact.
- Use a section quiz to study. If the Prophets are a weak spot, ten questions there will show you which names and events to go back to.
- Watch the small words. Questions often turn on a specific name or number, and the wrong options are chosen to sound plausible.
- Build up through difficulty. Start with Easy, and move on to Medium and Hard when your scores settle.
Questions players ask
Which translation does the quiz use?
Quotations are from the King James Version. Names and wording may differ a little in the translation you read, but the reference lets you check any question in your own Bible.
Which books are included?
Questions come from the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as arranged in the King James Version, and 60 of those books have at least one question so far. Some Christian traditions include further books that are not covered here. Coverage is uneven, with far more questions on Genesis or Acts than on the shortest books.
Is the quiz tied to a particular church?
No. It asks what the text says, rather than what any tradition teaches about it.
Can I play a past day’s quiz?
No. There is only today’s daily quiz, though the subject quizzes are always open.
I think an answer is wrong. What should I do?
