Christian Bible Games for Adults - Board, Card, Party, and Video Games
Bible Board Games for Adults
The Acts Board Game (Good)
Help
spread the Good News and earn victory points at the same time! In this
Bible game, you gain points by spreading out on the map or increasing
your number of followers in a region depending on the strategies you
employ and the cards you draw. It's a fun game similar to other
civilization-building board games but with a much nobler purpose.

The American Bible Challenge Board Game (Fair)
I
like that there's a variety of question types, including Bible trivia,
spelling, and sequencing, but the game can get a bit repetitive.
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
The Bible Game: Old Testament and New Testament Board Games (Good)
The
two editions of this game combine luck, trivia, and a little bit of
strategy. It's a simple, fast game that's great for families to play
together.
Bible Blurt! Board Game (Fair) |
| Purchase |
 |
| Purchase |
This
is another Bible 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 Journeys / The Life of Board Games (Fair)
Each
of these board games have you answering multiple-choice trivia
questions as you advance through the story on the board. They're good
for reviewing and discussing the Bible but are fairly simple.

Bible Sequence Board Game (Excellent)
Draw the cards and work with your partner to get 5 in a row before the other team does. The game will remind you of the Bible events, and there are Scripture references on the cards to look up the stories while you play. If you're looking for easy but fun board games to play, this fits the bill.
Bible Tribond Board Game (Good)
What
do the three clues have in common? Get the answer right, and you're
that much closer to winning this very Trinity-fitting game. While being
mostly just another Bible trivia game, I like the unique style of clues.
Having three clues also makes the game a bit easier than answering
open-ended trivia questions. |
| Purchase |
Bible Trivia Board Game (Good)
I like the multiple choice aspect of this game. It gives disciples of every level a better chance at answering correctly and thus having fun. There are also Judgment spaces and cards that do a variety of things when you land on them (not all of them are bad for you).

Bibleopoly Board Game (Excellent)
Like
Monopoly except totally different. In this game, you help your fellow
players and build a church. It's a very fun idea that turns Monopoly on
its head. It's another good one if you're looking for family board
games.
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
Champions of Faith Board Game (Excellent)
In
this game, you play as a character from the Bible and have your own
mission to achieve. You work your way around the board, choosing which
direction you go, trying to land on the spaces that will help you
achieve your goal. Meanwhile, every other player is doing something
similar. If you've ever played the fantasy game Talisman, it will feel
very familiar.
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
Exodus from Egypt Board Game (Good)
The
art is great for this game, and the questions and board are good for
reviewing or discussing the Bible story. There's not a lot of strategy
to the game, though.
 |
| Purchase |
Faith and Redemption Board Game (Excellent)
I
love this game. First, you race to get the animals on the ark before
the flood starts, then you travel the board seeking to avoid sins and
convert as many people as possible. You have prayer and Scripture cards
to help you along the way. Of course, landing on certain squares grants
you bonuses as well, including forgiveness for sin cards you may have
picked up during the game.
 |
| Purchase |
The Journeys of Paul Board Game (Good)
Strategize against the other players in this game to see if you can build more churches in the places Paul visited.
 |
| Purchase |
Kings of Israel Board Game (Excellent)
Play
as the prophets trying to rid Israel of idolatry before the nation is
overthrown by the Assyrians! This is a fun Bible game that will get you
into and thinking about the time of the kings and prophets in Israel's
history. There's also a lot of variety and strategy involved, making it a
very solid game. Also, check out the video game version of the game on
PC or Mac!
 |
| Purchase |
Miracles and Pitfalls Board Game (Good)
Answer
Bible trivia questions in this game as you move around the board. Get
blessings from the miracle cards to help you, or bad luck from the
pitfall cards. You can often answer the category of question that your
knowledge is strongest in, but sometimes, you'll have to meet the
challenge of answering a category where you might be lacking.
Portals and Prophets Board Game (Excellent, Video Intro) |
| Purchase |
Have
you ever wanted to go back in time to witness the events of the Bible?
This game is the next best thing! It reminds us of the stories with
attractive cards and requires a lot of strategy to win against your
opponents.
 |
| Purchase |
Redemption: City of Bondage Board Game (Excellent)
This
is a very cool game based on the most successful of Bible-inspired card
games. You enter the city and engage in spiritual warfare. Each enemy
falls to your faith, wisdom, or good deeds.
 |
| Purchase |
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.

Redemption (Excellent, Review)
This is the longest running two-player Christian card game and has a wide variety of cards available to build your deck. The main drawback is the one-goal objective.

The Ten Commandments (Fair)
This UNO-type game is interesting in that you can play different types of cards to empty your hand. Not all of the cards are Ten Commandments. There are cards that help teach the Commandments, and you can play cards based on whether they have to do with that Commandment. I love the teaching in the game. Unfortunately, the art isn't very appealing, and there is a lot of reading of cards, which slows down gameplay.

| Purchase |
Timestream: The Remnant (Good, Review)
Here's
another one by Cactus Games. I actually like it a little better than
Redemption, even though it's not as popular, because you have more of an
objective. You're traveling back to Bible times to witness Biblical
events.
 |
| Purchase |
Bible DVD Games for Adults
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.
 |
| Purchase |
The Bible Game (Good)
This is another trivia game that includes general Bible questions. I enjoy the classic art illustrations and fast games. |

Bible Party Games for Adults
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.
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
Get your teammates to guess the right word by giving them verbal clues. You just can't say the most obvious words.
Cranium: Bible Edition (Excellent)
One of my absolute favorite group games. It has everything from charades and Pictionary to trivia and word puzzles.
|
| Purchase |
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...
 |
| Purchase |
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 |
Parables & Miracles of Jesus (Good)
This
game combines some interesting mechanics, including guessing, math, and
Biblical knowledge. It's best for an adult Bible Study or youth group,
but you can take out some cards to make it easier for children to play
too.
 |
| 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.
 |
| Purchase |
 |
| Purchase |
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.
 |
| Purchase |
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.

Bible Video Games for Adults
Action Video Games
Break-Out the Bible (Excellent)
Platform: PC, Mac
Publisher: DivineGames, 2002
Bounce
the ball into the pieces to score points and reveal the Bible verse and
graphic. There are three difficulty modes that determine the speed of
the ball and plenty of levels to provide for extended gameplay.
+ + +
Defender of the Faith: The Adventures of David (Fair)
Platform: DOS
Publisher: Solid Rock Software, 1992
Fight
your way through the stories of David's life in this combat-heavy game.
You'll get a review of the Shepherd-King's life, but you might also get
frustrated with the controls as you try to survive the enemies coming
at you.
|
FIVE: Champions of Canaan (Fair)
Your
mission: infiltrate the arenas to disrupt the sacrifices to Moloch. The
gameplay: repetitive. This is mostly a fighting game. The graphics are
great, and the ability to upgrade your gear is a plus, but there's not
much to the story. If you simply want some quick-paced fun, Champions of
Canaan can hit the spot, but there's not enough depth here to play for
an extended period.
+ + +
FIVE: Guardians of David (Fair)
 |
| Purchase |
Platforms: PC, Mac
Publisher: Kingdom Games, 2015
Play as 5 of David's mighty men as you walk through some of the major events in the famous king's life.

Publisher: GraceWorks Interactive, 2005-2010
I want to like these games. I just can't. They're exploration/action games that move too slow and really have very little to do with the books of the Bible they're representing.

Card Video Games
Redemption: Victory at Hebron (Excellent)
This
trading card video game was a real find for me! With a story and 3D
exploration to go with it, this is the perfect game for anyone who
enjoys card battling. The game still looks and runs great today.
Hidden Object Video Games
Hidden Object - Psalms (Poor)
There's
a Bible verse on the screen and an instrumental melody of an old hymn,
but I can't see the point of the objects you're supposed to find. They
don't seem to have anything to do with the verse. Plus, every time you
complete a level, there's an annoying pop-up ad. You also need to pay to
unlock new levels. It might be worth it if the levels were challenging,
but they're not. I can't recommend this game for anything more than the
artwork.
Keys of the Kingdom (Good)
+ + +
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.
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.
Platform: Android
This multiplayer quiz game awards you more points if you can guess the Biblical person with fewer clues.
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.
King Solomon's Trivia Challenge 1 and 2, Solomon Says: Anything Goes (Good)
King James Bible (Fair)
Puzzle Video Games
aMazing Bible (Excellent)
This
is a different sort of game that has you moving a red and blue ball
simultaneously through different mazes as you walk through the Bible.
Each maze is different, and you can do different things to get through
them, so you won't get bored easily. It's a fun challenge and a review
of major portions of the Bible at the same.
+ + +
The Game of the Bible (Good)
 |
| Play for free! |
Platform: Android
Publisher: GrupoAlamar, 2017
This
is a simple kind of game that will have you thinking. You have to match
tiles from one side of the screen to the other, but you can only do so
if they're not surrounded. There are multiple ways to solve each puzzle,
and they get more difficult as you progress in the game. With 125
levels, this app will keep you plenty busy. Plus, it's attractive and
has pleasant sound effects and music. The only downside is that an ad
will play after you complete each puzzle.
+ + +
This
is a fun one for those who like movement puzzles. You solve the puzzle
by blowing up blocks and moving the key to the lock. Sounds simple, but
it does make you think. It also displays a new Bible verse every time
you defeat a puzzle. The verses are the real Keys of the Kingdom.
+ + +
Nacah (Poor) and Isles of Derek (Fair)
This
is an exploratory puzzle game that doesn't quite hit the mark when it
comes to gameplay, though the second game is notably better than the
first.

Jesus Christ RPG (Good, DLC Review)
 |
| Free to play, with DLCs to purchase |
Platform: PC
Publisher: Wholetone Games, 2013
Play
a variety of characters as you walk through the life of Christ,
battling demons and Pharisees. It's a little strange to have Jesus
"leveling up" to learn new miracles, but I understand doing it for the
sake of the game. I also appreciate all the humor in the game.
+ + +
The Journey of Jesus: The Calling (Fair)
Platform: Brower (Facebook)
Publisher: Lightside Games, 2012
This
game is available only on Facebook. You'll play as a witness to the
life of Christ and interact with people of the day, including Romans,
Pharisees, and Jewish believers and nonbelievers, playing through
real-life scenarios and helping to minister to them as you see fit. The
one complaint I have about the game is that it makes you do mundane
activities, such as chopping wood or clearing thornbushes to be able to
get close enough to the Biblical scene. Still, for free, it's worth
playing around in, even if you decide not to finish it.
+ + +
Noah's Ark: Dash N' Splash (Poor, Review)
 |
| Purchase on Android, iOS, and the Microsoft Store |
Platform: PC, Android, iOS
Publisher: JustinTime Studios, 2019
This 3D game shows good effort but needs a little more work. You
play an intrepid Noah, getting ready for the Flood. You’ll meet his
family as well as others in the world as you gather materials, solve
puzzles, and explore the landscape.
+ + +
Paul's Mission (Fair)
In
this RPG Maker game (the same engine I used to make Alpha/Omega), you
play as Paul and experience some of his story. The townspeople quiz you
on Bible knowledge, and you fight wild animals on your way from town to
town. There are items to purchase and upgrades to make, but the whole
game is rather simple and uses a lot of the default settings of the game
engine. It didn't keep my interest for very long.
Matching Video Games
Bible Gems (Excellent)
This
is a well-done computer game that walks you through Genesis as you
play. You'll hear a summary of the stories, accompanied by original
illustrations before each level. And each level is different, adding
variety to the game.
+ + +
Platform: PC
Play the Bible Ultimate Verses (Fair)
This
game isn't very challenging, but it is fun to play for a while. All you
have to do is cover each letter of a word with the same color of tile,
and you earn points. Powerups allow you to clear words more quickly. I
like that you're reading the Bible verse as you play, and you get to
test your memory after each level by filling in missing words. It's also
fully voice acted, which is a nice touch. The one downside is that you
have to give the company your email address or log in with Facebook,
which feels a little shady. I can't think of a legitimate reason they
need my information to play a free app.
+ + +
Scripture Solitaire (Excellent)
Platform: PC
Publisher: GraceWorks Interactive, 2003
This
is an interesting game in which you have to match parts of the verses
instead of values on the cards. There are also seven modes of solitaire
to explore, so the game doesn't get boring. Memorize Scripture and play a
challenging game at the same time!
+ + +
Stained Glass (Excellent)
This
match 3 game adds beautiful artwork and fully voiced Bible story
narrations. I particularly enjoy the paraphrased Bible stories that the
characters tell you. They're imaginative and add a fresh perspective to
the Biblical text without crossing the line into too much speculation.

Kings of Israel (Excellent)

| Purchase |
Platform: PC, Mac
Publisher: Funhill Games, 2015
Play
as the prophets trying to rid Israel of idolatry before the nation is
overthrown by the Assyrians! This is a fun game that will get you into
and thinking about the time of the kings and prophets in Israel's
history. There's also a lot of variety and strategy involved, making it a
very solid game. If you like the game, check out the original board
game version.

BibleUP! Bible Riddles (Poor)

| Play for free! |
Platform: Android
Publisher: Kupina.me, 2016
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 Bingo (Good)
Platform: Android
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.

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 Grand Slam 2.0 and 3.0 (Fair)
Answer trivia questions as you make your way around the bases versus teams of various difficulty.
+ + +
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.

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 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 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 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 (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.

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.
+ + +
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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
+ + +
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.
+ + +
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.
+ + +
+ + +
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.

Bible Crossword (Fair)
This
crossword puzzle has a variety of questions but could be seen as a

to find the answers. I did appreciate, however, that you can check your
answers and see the correct solutions when you're finished with the
puzzle.
+ + +
Bible Crossword Puzzle (Fair)
This
isn't a crossword puzzle in the traditional sense. The only clues you
get are the letters and the spaces in the puzzle. It's a fun game to
play for a few minutes as you test yourself to see if you can combine
the letters correctly to fill in the puzzle, but I don't think it's an
app you'll want to spend a lot of time on. I did enjoy the pleasant
music and the fact that I didn't see any invasive ads.
+ + +
Bible Hangman (Good)
This
is a simple game that's fun to play. I was always curious to see what
word or phrase the next puzzle would be. And, of course, once you know
what it's spelling, you're reminded of the book, person, event, etc. The
app runs perfectly with minimal ads, so if you're a fan of Hangman,
give it a try!

Bible Word Cross (Fair)
Swipe
the letters to make all the words that fit in the crossword grid. The
letters then fill in Bible verses. It would be better, however, if the

game, so I lost interest fairly quickly.

Bible Word Puzzle - Free Bible Story Game (Good)
This
is an upgrade of the original Bible Word Puzzle from idailybread.org.
As you complete each set of puzzles, you get an animated picture of the
major stories of the Bible and have the opportunity to read a selection
of Scripture. You can also answer trivia questions for extra points. I
found the game to be fun and addictive. Some of the phrasing shows that
it was written by a non-native English speaker, but there are no
problems understanding the game. The one detractor is that the words
you're making in the puzzle don't seem to have anything to do with the
Bible story.

Bible Word Search (Good)
This
word search app allows you to choose from 8 grid sizes, ranging from 5 x
5 to 18 x 18. You can also challenge yourself by choosing to play a
timed game, or you can leave the timer off. If you get stuck, you can
use a hint (doesn't cost anything) to see the first letter of one of the
words you're looking for.
There is a pop-up ad after you complete each puzzle, but since this isn't a super-spiritual app, the ads aren't a big problem. The only real complaint I found for this one is that while every word is from the Bible, many of them are very obscure. I feel like the words in a Christian puzzle should remind you of a spiritual truth or an edifying story, not merely random names. Another plus would be to have all of the words for a puzzle come from one Bible passage.

like that there are different sizes of grids to choose from. You can
select anywhere from a 6 x 5-letter grid to a 16 x 16-letter grid. The
only reason I'm docking this game is that you can't see all of the words
you're looking for at once. You have to scroll to see all of the words,

This

all three game modes, you're filling in the missing words of a Bible

workers making progress on a fairly detailed animated rendition, which
is a nice touch.

I'm
not sure why "christian" isn't capitalized in the title of this game,
but it's a great app to play. There are three difficulty levels, and you
can choose a category. For my first game, I chose King David, so all
the words in the puzzle related to David's life. You can also click on
each word to see some background on it and where it appears in the
Bible, which is a fantastic addition to the game. When you finish each
level, there are quiz questions about the category, another nice touch
that makes this game about more than finding words. There are ads, but
they're unobtrusive down at the bottom of the screen.
