Playing the Game

What is the ideal age range for this game?
Preferably people over 12 years of age. If a child is younger than this but knows the New Testament well for their age, then they should be able to play. You would probably want to set the difficulty level to "Beginner" for them.

How many questions are there per game?
Twenty - unless 2 or more players have a tie game. Then, they'll have ten more questions to break the tie. Whoever breaks the tie wins.

How many players can play at the same time?
One, two, or three. You can also have 1-3 teams so that many people can play at the same time.

Is there a time limit for each question?
Yes - 25 seconds. Most people can answer most of the questions in half of this time. The time limit is there to keep the game moving, and to prevent players from looking up the correct answer in the Bible while they are playing - which of course would be cheating!

What is the format of the questions in the game?
Most (85%) of the questions are multiple choice - you just click on the selection on the screen to answer.

There are also a few fill-in-the-blank questions and some True/False questions.

For fill-in-the-blank questions, what if I'm not a good speller?
Not to worry. TruthFinders has an intelligence system that allows for common spelling mistakes. It also goes beyond that. For example, if you had to fill in the blank in the following question, what would you put?

"Jesus said that even the _____ would cry out if His disciples were quiet."

Even though "stones" is the correct answer, the game will also accept "rocks". Each of these answers would be correct in the game.
The fill-in-the-blank questions make up only 6% of all of the questions, so you won't have that many anyway.

If I missed some questions in the game, how will I know what the correct answer was?
Two ways. In the multiple choice questions, the correct answer along with its Biblical reference will appear in bold print if you did not click on it and picked the wrong answer.

At the end of the game you can view all of the questions that you missed along with their Biblical references. You can even print out a report that shows the questions that you missed along with their Biblical references. There is space on the report for you to write in the correct answer from the Bible if you want to.

Is this really the most comprehensive New Testament "trivia" game for the personal computer?
More than likely. Other games cover the entire Bible, and they usually have around 1,000 questions. The games that cover only the New Testament usually have less questions than that, and/or they have theoretical questions that depend on someone's theological interpretation of the Bible.

TruthFinders covers only the New Testament, but it has over 1,350 questions. If you play TruthFinders long enough, you'll see questions from every chapter in the New Testament. Even more than that, there are, on average, 5 questions derived from every chapter of the New Testament. This makes TruthFinders extremely thorough and comprehensive.
Plus, all of the questions are factual and not theoretical. You can look up each question in the Bible for yourself and see the correct answer - without interpretation.

Scriptural Accuracy

Scriptural accuracy has been the top priority for this game since its inception. All of the questions have specific Biblical references which you can view and/or print. No questions are theoretical. You can open your Bible to the question's reference and see the answer for yourself. All of the questions and the correct answers have been proofread by several ordained ministers.
