Platform: DOS
Publisher: Everbright Software, 1992
This is a trivia game that goes beyond the Bible to include classic hymns. You can choose your difficulty level, and when you get the right answers, you'll get a piece of a Bible verse puzzle. When you get enough pieces to name the verse, you win. When you get too many wrong answers, the candle on the left burns down, and you lose.
+ + +
The Bible Game (Excellent)
This is a fun one to play with your friends. You're competing against up
to 3 other players or the computer on a game show and answering trivia
questions or playing mini-games for points. There's a lot of variety in
the content and the mini-games themselves. The graphics have held up
well for a PS2-era game. I'd definitely recommend it as a group game.

Bible Trivia (Excellent)
Platform: Android
Publisher: Christian Games, 2019
There's a lot to like about this game. First, you can decide which category to answer questions from, including Basic Questions (easy mode), or to mix them all together. Then, you can challenge yourself with a game that allows you to get three wrong answers only or set it the game to 5 minutes. Once you unlock it, you can play for an endless amount of time. If you need a hint, you can use the stick of dynamite to blow two wrong answers off the screen. But if you do get a wrong answer, the game will show which is the right answer and give you the option to see the Bible verse it's taken from.

Granny's Bible Dojo (Excellent)
This is a great game for learning the books of the Bible. Granny will
present the books in a jumbled order, and you have to crack the boards
in order. When you crack one, another will appear behind it. You'll also
hear Granny's instructions and encouragement, so that adds some humor
to the game.
+ + +
This quiz game includes difficulty levels, multiplayer, and various game
modes to let you answer a variety of questions or hone in on specific
topics. In Race Mode, there's the added challenge of the timer. Besides
the classic Church Edition, you can also purchase the African American
edition, which adds a little color to the game's artwork.
+ + +
Super Bible Trivia (Excellent)
There are a lot of Christian trivia games, but this one stands out for
its mini-games. Like some of the other trivia games above, this one uses
a game show theme that you can play solo or versus other players. The
mini-games are fun because they include things like Timeline, Who Am I?,
and Name that Book, which I found particularly enjoyable.
+ + +
Versed (Bible verse game) (Excellent)
Oohhh, I like that you can play different game modes (Reference, Verse,
Fill in the Blank, and Books of the Bible) on three difficulty settings.
In Reference, you read the chapter and verse and choose which of the
four written texts match it. Verse is just the opposite. You read the
text and choose the reference. In Fill in the Blank, you choose which
order the words go into the blanks. The spacing in this mode is off, but
it doesn't take too much away from the gameplay. The Books of the Bible
game has you arranging the books in order that they appear.
Versed is a different kind of trivia game that lends well to learning Scripture. Plus, you can't lose this game. If you answer incorrectly, it tells you to try again. Going above and beyond what I've seen most apps do, Versed allows you to choose which translation of the Bible to use: NIV, ESV, NLT, KJV, or NASB. Plus, there are no ads. It's a completely free game with nothing to buy and no interruptions. The only thing I wish this app had is some music and sound effects.

Publisher: TWJ enterprise, 2014
Wow, this game is hard! But it's good if you're wanting to brush up on your Scripture memorization. It will give you a quote, and you have to tap the reference. If you miss three, it's game over. The nice thing is that you can go into study mode in which you can see the verses and references to prep for the next game. The only fault I found with this Scripture memorization game was the pop-up ads.

Bible Quiz (Good)
Wow! This one is for serious Bible students. It will give you a verse
(in King James!), and you have to choose which book it's from. It's
great if you want a challenge, but this game isn't going to be for
everyone. There are ads, but they're unobtrusive at the bottom of the
screen.
+ + +
Bible Sorting Game (Good)
I really like the concept and arrangement of this game. It presents you
with words to put in order, according to how they're presented in the
Bible. The first level, for instance, has you choose the order in which
God created the different elements in Genesis 1 and 2. In the screenshot
above, I was putting Jacob's children in order by their birth. It's a
simple game, but it's a fun, unique trivia game.
+ + +
Bible Trivia: Avatar Edition (Good)
Play by yourself or with up to three other players as you take turns
answering multiple choice questions before your time for your turn runs
out.
+ + +
Bible Trivia Quiz Free Bible Guide (Good)
This is a simple trivia game. The only choice you make is how many questions you want to answer. Then, you have a timer for each question. At the end, it tells you how many questions you answered correctly in what amount of time. There's a good range of questions, so it's certainly worth playing if you enjoy trivia games. It also tells you the correct answer and the Scripture reference if you answer incorrectly. The best part about this app is that there are no ads. The "Free Bible Guide" part comes in when you have the option to give them your contact information and have them send you a printed guide about how to study the Bible. I didn't opt to do so, but from the topics covered, the guide does sound like it would be useful.

Bible Verse Quiz (Bible Game) (Good)
Platform: Android
Publisher: PetProject, 2017
This app has all the makings of a great Scripture reading game. It presents you with a verse in which there is one word missing. You tap on the letters below to fill in the missing word. You're reviewing Scripture as you test your knowledge. If you don't know the missing word, you can use the hint system, where you can choose to fill in a letter, remove unnecessary letters from your pool, or solve the puzzle. You'll also see the Scripture reference, so you can look up the answer on your own. The only problem is that there's a pop-up ad every few verses. It would also be nice if the supplied letters were in alphabetical order instead of randomly placed.

A Journey Towards Jesus (Good)
This trivia game gets high marks for including a story. You are
accompanying a young man named Eliab to find Jesus so that he can ask
Him to heal his sister. The quiz questions are fairly easy, and there
are also some word scrambles and other simple puzzles mixed in for
variety.

King Solomon's Trivia Challenge 1 and 2, Solomon Says: Anything Goes (Good)

| Purchase |
Play against the computer or against other players in this game show
trivia competition. Solomon is your host, and you can set the difficulty
to an appropriate level. Solomon Says is the original game, with the
King Solomon's Trivia Challenge games being the editions that Left
Behind Games published after they purchased Cloud 9.
+ + +
Learning the Bible (Good)
This is a fairly simple trivia app, but I like it. It gives you
the opportunity to choose which book and chapter of the Bible you want
it to quiz you on. Then, you can read the chapter before you start to
answer. If you get stuck, you can look at the text again. There are also
two modes, a test in which you answer questions and see your results
right away, or Exam Mode in which you answer a series of questions and
see your score afterward. Exam Mode is also timed, but it's a very
generous time limit. The only detraction from this game is that it's
been translated from another language into English, so some of the
phrasing can be a little awkward.
+ + +
Play the Jesus Bible Trivia Challenge Quiz Game (Good)
Despite the awkward name, this trivia app is a cut above some of the
others. You spin a dial to land on a category for each question. If you
don't know an answer or want reinforcement, you can click to see the
passage of Scripture referenced in the question. You're also on a time
for each question, so that adds to the challenge, and the sound effects
and animations make the game more addicting than most trivia games.

Bible Grand Slam 2.0 and 3.0 (Fair)
Answer trivia questions as you make your way around the bases versus teams of various difficulty.
BibleMania - Christian Trivia (Fair)
This might sound counterintuitive, but this app is too gamified. You earn points, have lives, and can buy coins that help you answer or skip difficult questions. The questions, however, are very easy, so you won't need most of the game's features if you're familiar with the Bible. If you're not familiar with the Bible, you're probably not going to be playing this game. One nice feature is that you can choose to read the verse that the question is based on after you submit your answer. There's are also a fair number of pop-up ads and an emphasis to watch advertising videos to get in-game perks. Overall, I wasn't impressed and wouldn't recommend spending too much time on this one.
+ + +
Bible Quiz - Free Offline Trivia App (Fair)
When you start a game in this Christian trivia app, you choose between
Old and New Testaments. You must then score enough points in each level
to unlock the next set of questions. The problem is that some of the
questions are wrong. For example, one question asked me to finish the
title of the book, "The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the..." Well,
depending on how your Bible names the books, any of the given answers
would have been correct. Paul wrote the letter to each of the choices:
Romans, Philippians, Colossians, and Galatians. Romans, however, was the
only answer the app would accept. I discovered that by using the hint
system. If you get stuck, you can pay 10 coins for a hint, and it will
take away one of the wrong answers.
I would rate this app higher if I could trust the accuracy of the questions more. I also wasn't a fan of the screen that pops up and tells you your score after every question. It simply delays getting to the next question. It would be better to see your score somewhere in a corner on the question screen.

Bible Trivia Quiz (Fair)
I like that there are three difficulty levels and various achievements
to earn. The questions are fair, and when you get a wrong answer, it
highlights the right one so that you can learn from your mistake if
you're so inclined. Still, there's not much to this game, and there are
too many ads for my taste.

Bible Trivia Wheel - Bible Quiz Game (Fair)
Platform: Android
Publisher: DS Software, 2017
The presentation of this game isn't bad, but the focus on getting points is ridiculously distracting. It feels like you're only answering questions about a third of the time. The rest of the time, you're watching the wheel spin or your points add up, or dealing with a pop-up of some sort. Yes, you can skip all of those things, but that just makes the game too clicky. Over all, my opinion is that it doesn't put user experience first.

Holy Bible Quiz - Test Your Christian Faith Trivia (Fair)
The questions in this trivia app are good, but it's lacking a lot
of the functionality of other free quiz games you can play. First,
there's no way to see the Scripture the question was taken from. You can
narrow down your choices, but that doesn't help your learning much.
The only goal of the game is to get the highest score, and you can keep playing until you answer incorrectly three times. There are also a lot of pop-up ads that break up your gameplay without warning. I do appreciate the rotating artwork displayed behind the questions, but it would be better if the art went with the question. The text itself could also use a little polish with spaces inserted after commas.

True or False? (Bible Quiz) (Fair)
This app runs well and looks nice, but there are a couple of detractors
for me. One is the fact that when you start the game and complete a
level (every 10 questions), you get a pop-up ad. The other downside is
that the questions are much too easy. If you're interested in playing
this game, you probably already have a working knowledge of the Bible,
and this game won't challenge you. It will, however, remind you of what
you already know and would be a good review if it weren't for the ad
interruptions. After every question, you can read the Bible verse the
question is based on.

I was excited about this game but became quickly disappointed once I started playing. You choose a category, then type in your answers. In my playthrough, I was supposed to name 7 things that had to do with Jesus' birth. The nice thing is that it accepted "shepherd" for the answer it was looking for "Flock." But it did not accept quite a few of the answers I thought it would, including "angel," "Mary," "virgin," and "census." You can ask for a hint, but it will cost you coins, and do you know what they want you to do to get more coins? Watch ads. No, thanks. And with no way to know which correct answers will be accepted, I won't spend any more time with this one.

Bible Quiz (Poor)
The only good things about this trivia game are that there are two game
modes and that it runs well. The game modes are Endless and Timed. The
Timed mode should add an element of excitement as you try to answer
questions as quickly as possible, but it felt unfair because I could
barely read the question and possible answers before my time ran out.
The mix of questions also seems unfair as there are some very easy ones
mixed in with those that are way too hard. There are also way too many
advertisements.
+ + +
Bible Trivia Christian Quiz (Poor)
I like the variety of questions in this game and the fact that there is
an Endless and Timed mode to give you a choice of whether you want the
extra challenge of racing against the clock or not, but there are way
too many ads in this app to be enjoyable. I couldn't even click to start
my first game before a video ad for another app started playing.
+ + +
Bible Trivia Game Free (Poor)
The one good point of this app is that whether you answer correctly or
incorrectly, you can read the Bible reference to refresh your memory. On
the downside, the questions are very difficult overall. Second, you
only get to answer two or three questions before another pops up. Some
you can exit out of right way, but others, you have to watch before you
can close them. You can pay to not see the ads, but I would recommend
skipping this one altogether.
