Christian Group Games - Board, DVD, and Party Games
Group Board Games
Bible Baffle Board Game (Fair)
This
is another Bible trivia game that's very simple to play as you move up
in your rainbow, but some of the questions are rather difficult. It's
also based on the KJV, which can sometimes be an issue when referencing
certain names. All in all, you answer questions correctly or you don't.
Not much more to the game than that.

Bible Baseball Board Game (Fair)
Move
your token around the bases as you and your teammates answer Bible
trivia questions correctly. This game been a Sunday School staple for
years, but it works just as well with families who enjoy sports. There's
not much strategy to the game, though, so the "baseball" is for
visualization only.

Bible Challenge Board Game (Fair)
The
goal of this Bible trivia game is to be the first to answer a question
from all seven categories correctly, and besides the categories, there's
a wide variety of questions, both in the number of questions and in
their difficulty. Still, it's not much more than a question and answer
game.

This
is another Bible trivia game that makes you think quickly to come up

it makes a good party game.

Catholic Family Bible Game (Good)
Though
it says "Catholic," this game is suitable for any believer. And, yes,
it looks dated, but it's still a good game. It's a trivia game with a
board that's set up to walk through the Bible. The nice thing about the
questions is that you can set different players to be on various
difficulty levels, so it really is a family-friendly game and even good
for playing with those who don't know the Bible as well as some other
players.

Cranium: Bible Edition Board Game (Excellent)
One
of my absolute favorite group games. It has everything from charades
and Pictionary to Bible trivia and word puzzles. It's one of those board
games the whole family can enjoy, no matter how old they are.

LifeStories Board Game: Christian Version (Excellent)
This
is a sharing game that's great for getting a group of people to talk.
Use it to get to know some new friends or take it to your youth group to
break the ice.

The Road to Bethlehem Board Game (Excellent)
This
is a game similar to Dungeons & Dragons in that you have one player
who narrates the story and presents you with options. The difference,
of course, is that it's a game for Christians, and you play as yourself,
not a character you make up. As a team, you decide what to do and
participate in real-life active challenges to act out parts of the
story. The game is set up in chapters so that you'll need to play a few
times before you reach the end of the story.

The Ungame Board Game: Christian Version (Good)
Answer questions while racing around the board. This game is a great conversation starter.

Group DVD Games
The Bible DVD Game (Good)
I'm
a big fan of Jeremy Camp, not so much of The History Channel's
treatment of our religion. Fortunately, this DVD game sticks to the
Bible without the secular commentary overshadowing the content. Play as
individuals or teams as you try to answer a variety of questions.

The Bible Game (Good)
This is another trivia game that includes general Bible questions. I enjoy the classic art illustrations and fast games.![]() |

Group Ice Breaker Games
The Art of Christian Conversation (Good)
Take
turns reading the cards and asking people thought-provoking questions
about themselves. It's a good activity to get to know people and to get
people talking. It's just not a game where you score points or complete
an objective.
The Ungame: Christian Version (Good)
Answer questions while racing around the board. It's a great conversation starter.

Group Party Games
The American Bible Challenge (Fair)
I
like that there's a variety of question types, including trivia,
spelling, and sequencing, but the game can get a bit repetitive.

Purchase |
Apples to Apples: Bible Edition (Good)
One
person says a word and the others use the cards in their hand to try to
best match that word. Like the original game, this version is hilarious
and can be thought-provoking as well.

Babble (Fair)
Bible Blurt! (Fair)
This
is a fun, fast-paced game for groups. Players read words on their card.
When someone reads the same word, which happens fairly often because of
the limited word selection, they roll the dice to see who gets the
point for the match. It's a fun game, but interest wanes fairly quickly.

Bible Blurt! (Fair)
This
is another trivia game that makes you think quickly to come up with the
right word to answer the question. It's not too difficult, so it makes a
good party game.

Purchase |
Bible Charades (Fair)
Great
idea, but they tried to make too many cards to go with it, so a lot of
the clues are either too difficult to act out or guess. The best thing
to do is to go through and take out the more difficult cards before you
play.

Purchase |
The Bible MiniSeries Game (Good)
This
trivia game mixes drawing with straight questions and answers. If you
enjoyed the series, this game might be right up your alley. Otherwise,
it's still a good game with questions that aren't too difficult, but it
might not have quite the appeal for you if you haven't watched the show.

Purchase |
Bible Scramble (Excellent)
This
isn't your normal trivia game! You have to spell out your answers using
the tiles before your opponents do or you have to pay up in shekels.
And misspellings also earn you a fee. Once you lose all your shekels,
you're out.

Get your teammates to guess the right word by giving them verbal clues. You just can't say the most obvious words.
Catholic Trivia (Fair)
Don't
even try this game unless you're Catholic! If you are, you'll find lots
of interesting questions, though it's really just a straight question
and answer game that's good for conversation but not any kind of
strategic gameplay.

Guesstures: Bible Edition (Excellent)
A fun team charades game in which you race against the timer to get as many cards correctly guessed per round.

Purchase |
Inklings (Good)
This
is a fun individual or team trivia game. The cards give you clues, but
if you guess the right answer before all the clues have been given, you
get more points. Of course, you could risk all the points by getting it
wrong...

It's All About that Grace (Good)
This
is a simple game that shows that grace wins over sin every time. It's a
competitive, tongue-in-cheek game that allows you to accuse others of
sin when you have enough Good Works cards. You also have a chance to
draw a sin every time you take a new card. If you're accused or draw a
sin and don't have a grace card, you lose. There are other cards in the
deck, however, that give you advantages and add to the strategy of the
game. It pokes fun, makes you think, and is great for as few as two
people up to a group of 6 or 8.

Let's Have Church!!! (Good)
This
is a funny trivia game that combines charades, Pictionary, and multiple
choice and true/false-type questions. The highlight for me are the
questions based on surveys of what church folk actually do and the
questions that make you think about whether a saying is in the Bible or
simply something Christians say.

Mad Gab: Bible Edition (Good)
This
game is hilarious. You read a card that sounds like something but reads
like gibberish. Your team then gives you clues to help you guess what
you're supposed to be saying. It's a very neat concept. Give it a try!

Purchase |
Outburst: Bible Edition (Excellent)
Here's
a good one for team play. Each clue has 10 answers. Test your Bible
knowledge as a team to get as many of those ten as you can.
![]() |
Purchase |
Pharisees (Excellent)
If
you enjoy the game "Mafia," you'll love this even more. It's Pharisees
vs. Disciples with each player assigned a different role, including
people from the Old and New Testaments, as you try to figure out who the
Pharisee is. It's great for youth groups and young adult small groups.
![]() |
Purchase |
Proverbial Wisdom and Proverbial Wisdom Junior (Good)
I
like that there's a mix of question types, including a more active type
in which you draw the clue for your teammates. The sayings should also
be familiar enough for most people to enjoy playing without being lost
for lack of Biblical knowledge.

Refraze: Christian Edition (Good)
This
is another game that will make you think as you try to guess the name
of the Biblical person or place from the strangely worded clue. There's
no real strategy to the game, but it can be an entertaining and
challenging game for a group of friends or a small group.

The Road to Bethlehem (Good)
Watch the game trailer!
Watch the game trailer!
This
is a board game mixed with a party game, which makes it a little more
strategic than some other party games we've seen. Players will act out
challenges as the game progresses, and there's also a lot of replay
value in the various scenarios to try.
Scattergories: Bible Edition (Good)![]() |
Purchase |
This
is a fun thinking party game. You have different categories and you
have to think of a word that starts with the chosen letter that round to
match as many categories as possible. If you think of more than
everyone else, you win. Just don't think of the same answer as someone
else or they'll cancel each other out.

Purchase |
Sum Word Game: Bible Edition (Fair)
Try
to guess the word in 1, 2, 3, or 4 parts as your teammates give you
acting, verbal, or drawing clues. If, for example, the word is
loving-kindness, your teammates would have to get you to guess "loving,"
then "kindness" before you could put it all together. It's a good
concept, but some of the combinations might be a little too obtuse for
some players.

Unauthorized (Excellent)

Being a Christian is illegal. Can you survive and keep your members loyal? This is a fast, fun game for a group of 6-12 players.
