How to play

Quick guide to Junior Bible Quiz. Read this once and you're ready.

The big idea

Two teams race to answer 20 questions about the Bible Fact-Pak. Each team has up to 4 quizzers. You buzz in when you know an answer. First buzzer to the floor gets to answer.

Question points

Get it right → you score the full points. Get it wrong → you lose half the points.

Three ways to leave a match early

When you can buzz

Wait! The quizmaster has to read the question first. If you buzz too early (during "Question. Question number 5 for 20 points..."), that's a foul.

The interrupt rule: If you buzz BEFORE the last word of the question is read, that's called "interrupting." It's a big risk — if you get it wrong, the same question is re-read to the other team! So only interrupt when you're SURE.

You have 5 seconds after the quizmaster finishes reading to buzz, and 30 seconds after you're identified to answer.

Quotation questions

Some questions ask you to quote a Bible verse word-for-word. These must be perfect — no missed, added, or changed words. You also need to give the reference (like "John 3:16") before or after the verse.

Practice on your own

Want to get better? Go to Practice — flashcards, drills, and review of questions you've missed. The more you practice, the higher your rating gets, and the better matches you'll be paired with.

If something feels wrong

Tap the 🚩 button in any match to report a player. A grown-up on our team will look at what happened. Don't be afraid to speak up — we read every report.

You can also tell your parent or coach, or contact us.
