How these games were written: Our ranking, not a survey. Nobody was polled: the answers on each board stand in our own order, from the one a room is likely to shout first to the one likely to come last, and the number beside each answer is a fixed ladder for play (8 for the first answer, then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1), not a count of people. All 6 games, their 40 boards and all 310 answers were written for this site in 2026. Every answer was checked against the World English Bible, 2020 stable text, a public domain translation: the full text was downloaded from https://ebible.org/Scriptures/eng-web_vpl.zip (linked from https://ebible.org/details.php?id=eng-web, which also states that the text is in the public domain; that page was checked 2026-09-20) on 2026-09-18, and each answer was looked up in the verses recorded for its board. All 310 answers were looked up again in a fresh download of the same text on 2026-10-03, and all stand. Names and wording follow that translation (a huge fish, lice, a rod, a tent maker, the gentle), except eight tiles that keep or add the familiar church word: the ark (it says ship), a coat of many colors (tunic), the sun and the moon (the two great lights), a golden calf (a molded calf made from golden rings), John the Baptist (John the Baptizer), the belt of truth (the utility belt of truth), Saul's armor (his clothing, a helmet of bronze and a coat of mail) and the gentle, or meek (it says the gentle only). A few tiles shorten a verse to fit, such as those hungry for righteousness for those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. One tile was corrected on review on 2026-09-19, when the text was downloaded again: Exodus 3:5 is a command, so the tile now reads God tells Moses to take off his sandals. Parable names are the traditional ones. Only the 66 books that Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Bibles share are used. Catholic and Orthodox Bibles hold more books, among them numbered books of Maccabees and Esdras, which the World English Bible also publishes; the numbered-books board lists the eight numbered titles among the 66, and the page tells the host to count Maccabees or Esdras as right but not on the board. The Ten Commandments board follows the verse text of Exodus 20:3-17; churches group and number those verses differently, and the board takes no side. A board holds eight tiles at most and many questions have more true answers than that (the twelve sons of Jacob, the ten plagues, the Ten Commandments, the twelve disciples, the nine fruit of the Spirit, any king of Judah), so a true answer can be missing from a board. Unlike a TV survey board, every answer here is either in the passage or it is not; only the order is ours. Nothing is copied from a TV show's question bank, a fan transcript, a boxed game or another website, and no question repeats one on this site's other survey game pages. The boards ask what the text says and take no side on doctrine. Wine is on two tiles, only where the passage names it: the water turned into wine at Cana (John 2:9) and the oil and wine of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:34); no board is about drinking. The play rules, which the survey game questions hub page describes (the face-off, three strikes, the steal after conferring, the round's points going to one team), follow Wikipedia's article on the TV format, checked 2026-09-18 and again 2026-09-19.

How it works
These 40 Bible survey game questions and answers were each looked up in the World English Bible, so only the order is ours. Play them like the game sold as Family Feud, which this site is not affiliated with.
Read the full guide
Run a game at youth group
Tick Host view under the board to see the answers. The Game list runs in Bible order: three Old Testament games, The Life of Jesus, What Jesus Taught, then Letters and the Whole Bible. If the group has never played, read the face-off and steal rules on survey game questions first.
Right, but not on the board
A board holds eight tiles and the Bible often holds more: twelve disciples, ten plagues, nine fruit of the Spirit. Pick a rule first: a strike, or the kinder one, right but not up there, answer again. Use the kinder rule for Maccabees or Esdras on the numbered-books board. The Ten Commandments board follows Exodus 20 without numbers, because churches count them differently.
Tiles follow the World English Bible: for whale, flip A huge fish; for branch, flip An olive leaf.
Christian survey game questions go better when the youngest can score, so start with In the Beginning.
Church survey game questions and answers make a lesson review: after a unit on Exodus, play Moses and the Exodus.
Questions and answers
Can I print a game for a room with no screen?
Yes. Print host sheet, the last button under the scores, prints the game on screen: each question, its answers in order and a score grid. Pick another Game and print the next.
Which translation do the answers follow?
The World English Bible. Eight tiles keep a familiar church word, such as the ark where it says ship. They are listed under How these games were written, below the answers. Every book used is in Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Bibles.
How are biblical survey game questions ranked with no survey?
Each board starts with the answer we expect a room to shout first, such as Peter among the disciples. It is our ranking, not a survey, and the numbers on the tiles are a fixed ladder, 8 down to 1.
