Free to use; a one-time CA$7.99 Pro add-on unlocks all 3 books, 9 languages and a comeback bonus round.

Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript — no framework, no build step. The steal round hides the correct answer until it's revealed on screen, so there's genuinely no way to peek. Everything about the game lives in the browser via localStorage.

The real game. Set up 2-5 teams, choose your options, and play a round. Nothing is sent anywhere — it all runs in this browser. Best experienced in its own tab, ideally fullscreen.
From opening the file to a live scoreboard on the projector — no slides to build, no prep the night before.
Double-click biblequiz.html — it opens straight in your browser, no install.
2-5 teams, team names, questions per level, a timer, and toggle steal round, penalty and music.
One click for the cleanest view on a projector or TV — the live scoreboard tracks every team.
Individual, then Team round, Level 1 → 2 → 3, with a podium and confetti at the end.
The free game plays all of John's Gospel — a complete game night on its own. Drop biblequiz-pro.js next to it and every locked option unlocks.
Individual (one representative answers alone), then Team (the whole team confers) — each Level 1 → 2 → 3.
A wrong answer opens the floor to the other teams. The correct answer stays hidden until revealed.
Every team tracked by colour, with one-click fullscreen for the cleanest view on a projector.
A separate answer-key.html — every question with the answer marked, for the host only.
Genesis/Pentateuch and 1 Samuel join John's Gospel, mixed into every game across all 3 levels.
German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and Japanese, for the interface and the questions.
Hard comeback questions after the Team Round — the trailing team answers first for +20.
Upload any MP3 for background music instead of just the three built-in generated tracks.
The printable answer key covers all 3 books, all 125 questions, in all 9 languages.
Building slides yourself takes hours; a subscription app charges every month whether you host or not. Here's where a single-file, offline game lands next to the usual options.
