BIBLE TRIVIA

🎮 How a game runs

One game is thirteen questions. The first ten are dealt in the order the books themselves come, so every game walks you from Genesis toward Revelation as it climbs. Each question has four answers; exactly one is right. Click your answer, read the reveal, climb on. The last three questions are the finale — see the Burning Bush, below.

Stuck? You hold two lifelines, once each per game (§ below). And that's every control there is: click an answer, F for 50/50, V to Ask the Verse. Few choices, big words, one clear thing to do next.

🗂️ The five wells

Every question is drawn from one of five categories. Between them they hold 171 questions from 34 books of the Bible, Old Testament and New:

• PEOPLE — 41 questions. The men and women of the Book — who did what, who went where, who stood where nobody else would.
• PLACES — 33 questions. The map of the story — cities, rivers, mountains, and the roads between them.
• PARABLES — 31 questions. The stories Jesus told — the seeds, the coins, the sons — and what He said they meant.
• PROPHECIES — 34 questions. What was spoken ahead of time — the promises, the warnings, and the words that came due.
• WHO SAID IT — 32 questions. A line from the text, word for word — and you name the voice that said it.

The game keeps score per category on your profile, so you can see your own map of the Book: strong in the Parables, shaky in Prophecies — and a reason to run the climb again.

📖 The reveal — where the learning lives

After every answer, right or wrong, the screen shows the reference in plain figures — John 3:16 — and the complete text of that verse from the King James Bible, exactly as it stands written. Not a summary. Not a paraphrase. The verse. Ask anybody who plays: the question is the hook; the verse is the meal.

🆘 The lifelines

• 50/50 (press F) — two of the three wrong answers are struck from the board, leaving the right one and one other. A coin you now have a fair chance of calling.
• Ask the Verse (press V) — the lifeline that could only exist in this game: the verse behind the question appears with the answer's words blanked out. The Word itself walks you to the answer — it just won't say the name out loud.

Each lifeline fires once per game, and they reset fresh with every new game. Spend them like they matter — the finale is coming.

🔥 The Burning Bush

Survive the ten-question climb and the weather changes. The last three questions are the Burning Bush — named for the fire Moses met in the wilderness that burned and was not consumed. These three burn the same way:

• Sudden death. One wrong answer in the finale ends the game on the spot, no matter how strong the climb was.
• Stand through all three and you take the finale bonus: +500 points.
• A perfect game — every question right, Genesis to the last flame — earns the game's highest honor. It calls you one who stood in the fire.

✅ Checked against the Book

A trivia game about the Bible has one job above all the others: get the Bible right. So no question in this game was written from anybody's memory. Every verse was taken from the King James text itself, and then every question was machine-checked against that same text: the reference exists, the verse printed in the game matches the Bible word for word, the four answers are four different answers, and the words each question rests on are truly in the verse. The score of that checking: 171 verified, 0 dropped. A question ships when the verse proves it, and not before.

🏆 Your scores stay home

Your record — games played, best streak, best score, and your mastery in each of the five categories — lives in one small file on your own computer, written carefully, with a rolling backup copy alongside so a crash can't take it. Each player on the machine gets their own profile and sees only their own record. No accounts, no sign-ins, no cloud.

🔒 No network. At all.

Bible Trivia contains no network code — not “no telemetry,” not “no tracking, though it does check for updates.” None. The finished program was scanned to prove it. It cannot phone home, because there is no phone. The honest limits ride along in the manual: the game speaks King James, the bank is 171 questions, your hosts are text on the screen, and your record lives on the machine you played on.
