Questions

Are there trick questions?

No. There are no negations, no “all of the above” and no wordplay on old English. Every answer comes with its verse from the KJV or BSB, or a cited source for questions about the history of the Bible.

Which Bible translations are used?

The King James Version and the Berean Standard Bible, quoted word for word from the same text ScripturePath uses for its studies. Where the two word a detail differently, the answer accepts both.

Is it denominational?

No. Questions stay with what the text itself says. Contested topics (baptism, end-times chronology, the Sabbath, church offices, the canon) are left out on purpose.

Do I need an account?

No. Play as often as you like without one. A free account lets you claim your seat on the public Index and keeps every attempt in your profile.

How is the Index ranked?

Only registered players with a confirmed email appear. Of each player's runs this season, only the best of the first 3 counts, so the Index measures Bible knowledge rather than memory of the question pool. Names go public once enough players have taken it; until then your score and provisional seat are visible only to you.

How long is a season?

Season 1 ends on 31 Jan 2027. Each season brings new questions and a fresh Index.
