About BibleClue

What you will find here

18 quiz types, mixed rounds, team rounds, rounds by Bible book and three difficulty levels: discover stories, people, places and connections in the Bible.

Our Bible translation

The questions are based on the New American Standard Bible (NASB), 2020 edition. Questions and explanations are written in our own words. Statements are paraphrased rather than quoted word for word from the Bible.

After each answer, you will find a link to the relevant passage. Links open Bible Gateway in a new tab. This application does not contain the full Bible text.

Words of the Bible

One quiz type compares word frequencies and offers comparisons between four Bible books. English answers require word counts based on the NASB 2020. NASB 2020 · Count exact word forms or consecutive word sequences within a verse, ignoring capitalization. Internal apostrophes and hyphens remain part of a word; other punctuation is ignored. Other endings, possessive -'s forms and hyphenated compounds are separate forms. All meanings count. Count every occurrence, including repetitions in one verse. Headings and footnotes are excluded.

Frequencies are absolute counts; they are not adjusted for the different lengths of the books. Linked passages are selected examples. We store terms, counts and references, not complete Bible texts.

Connections between the Testaments

The New Testament often quotes the Old Testament. Sometimes an earlier person or event is compared with something new. The explanations describe the connection and the original context of the passage.

Rounds and points

Solo rounds have no time limit and contain up to five different questions. Questions are divided into Explorer, Knowledgeable and Expert levels according to difficulty. The levels contain different numbers of questions. Mixed rounds and team rounds draw from the same collection.

For the big Bible quiz, you also choose the difficulty. A round brings together five questions from different puzzle types, such as a knowledge question, a number puzzle and a matching task.

• A correct answer earns 100 points at Explorer level, 200 at Knowledgeable and 300 at Expert.
• In “Who am I?”, “Which Bible book?”, word searches and crosswords, each additional hint reduces the available points by 15, 30 or 45, depending on the difficulty. A correct solution still earns at least 25% of the base score.
• An incorrect answer earns no points. You keep any points you have already earned.

Every selection is saved automatically. Under My profile, you can continue rounds and revisit results.

Rounds started under the previous four-level system retain their original questions and points.

Book by book

Choose a book from the Old or New Testament. Your round contains up to five questions at your chosen difficulty from different quiz types. Each question refers to your book; connections to other books may also appear. Rounds are shorter for books with fewer available questions.
