Christian Game Night - Board, Party, and Video Games as a Family
Board Games for Families
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.

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.

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)![]() |

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

it makes a good party game.

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 |
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.
![]() |
Purchase |
Daystar Board Game (Excellent)
Rather
than a game, this is more like a simulation of the Christian life! Walk
through the entire experience of being saved, developing in
Christlikeness, and battling temptation in this game. There are also
some trivia spaces that test your knowledge of the Bible.
![]() |
Purchase |
Divinity, the New Catholic Catechism Learning System Board Game (Good)
Players
circle the board once, answering questions or performing activities for
the spaces that they land on. It's a quick game and easy game to play
and is a great way to learn or reinforce Bible teaching and all-around
Christian knowledge.
![]() |
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 |
Inspiration! Board Game (Good)
Part
trivia, part strategy, part luck, there's something in this game for
everyone. There are 3 play modes that increase its complexity. It's also
a short game to learn and play. It's also a little different in that
you're not answering questions based on the Bible but on Church history
and how God has inspired His people to make scientific discoveries. The
battle systems come into play as you control angels and other guardians
to defeat obstacles in your path.

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 |
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.
The Road to Bethlehem Board Game (Excellent)
![]() |
Purchase |
Pilgrim's Progress Board Game (Good)
Coming
with an illustrated book, this board game and story based on the
classic allegory makes for some great discussion with your kids.
Gameplay is fairly simple, though, as you mostly have to rely on the
luck of the dice and what cards you pull without employing any conscious
strategy.
![]() |
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.

Purchase |
Settlers of Canaan Board Game (Excellent)
This
edition of the famous Settlers of Catan game puts you in the shoes of
one of the tribes of Israel, trying to settle your territory and
organize the national capital of Jerusalem. If you like civilization
building games, this one's for you.

The American Bible Challenge (Fair)
I

spelling, and sequencing, but the game can get a bit repetitive.

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 |
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.
![]() |

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.

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.

Video Games for Families
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: 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.
+ + +
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.
+ + +
Heaven Quest (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.
+ + +
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.
