Free Bible Trivia Quiz: 15 Questions from Both Testaments

Which book of the Bible, in its original Hebrew text, never mentions God by name? If you said Esther without blinking, you'll still meet a few questions here that make you pause. If you had to think about it, this quiz was written for you.

The quiz is live on this page, so start there. Fifteen questions, medium difficulty, six to nine minutes from the garden of Eden to the court of Persia. Once you've got your score, everything below explains how the quiz works and how to reshape it for your own group.

From Eden to Esther in fifteen questions The bible trivia questions walk through both testaments in loose story order. The set opens easy: the garden where Adam and Eve lived, David felling Goliath with a sling stone, the prophet swallowed by a great fish. Then the curveballs arrive. One true or false item asks whether Matthew's Gospel really says exactly three wise men visited the child Jesus, and the answer trips up plenty of lifelong readers.

Most questions are multiple choice or true or false, and three are select-all items where partial knowledge shows: picking the real plagues of Egypt out of a lineup, spotting which men were among the twelve disciples, and sorting New Testament letters from Old Testament prophets. Every answer reveal comes with a short explanation that cites book and chapter, Genesis 2 for Eden, 1 Samuel 17 for Goliath, so a wrong guess still teaches something. Where translations differ, the question says so up front, as with the item about Delilah and Samson's hair.

Who actually plays this Church small groups use it as an icebreaker before the study starts. Youth ministries run it as a game night round, and the built-in leaderboard turns a quiet room competitive fast. Families pull it up at holiday gatherings when the debate over who knows Scripture best needs settling.

The tone stays warm and non-denominational throughout. Questions stick to the text itself rather than doctrine, and the one item where Catholic and Orthodox Bibles differ, the Greek additions to Esther, gets acknowledged right in the explanation.

How the 150 points shake out Each of the 15 questions is worth 10 points, for 150 total. The pass mark sits at 45, deliberately gentle, because the goal is a fun bible knowledge quiz, not a seminary exam. Feedback lands instantly after every answer, followed by the explanation, so takers learn as they go instead of waiting for a final report.

There's no timer, so nobody races. Questions shuffle into a different order for each taker, which keeps side-by-side phones honest at a group event. Skipping is off, but anyone can step back to review an earlier answer, and a progress indicator shows how much remains. Retakes are open, so a rough first run isn't final.

Make it yours before Sunday Copy the template and every part opens up: the questions, the answer options, the point values, the pass mark, and the explanations. Swap in questions about your own congregation's history, tighten the set into a shorter bible quiz for a ten-minute slot, or raise the pass mark for a confirmation class review. You can restyle the whole thing with your church's colors and logo, and switch on a lead capture step if you want names attached to scores for a prize drawing.

All of this, playing, copying, editing, publishing, happens on Uplup's free plan. No card, no trial clock.

Handing it to your group A public link works anywhere you already talk to people: the weekly email, the group chat, a Sunday bulletin insert with a QR code that phones scan straight from the pew. Youth leaders can post the same link straight to whichever social feed their group actually checks. If your church runs a website, an embed snippet places the quiz on any page, and WordPress users get the same result by pasting a shortcode from the Uplup plugin.

Afterward, the response dashboard shows every score, question-level stats reveal which items stumped the room, and a CSV export takes the results wherever you keep records. That question-by-question view doubles as a teaching tool: whatever most of the group missed makes a ready-made topic for next week's study.
