133 Bible Trivia Questions and Answers
Every Bible trivia question on this site, written out in full with its four options and the correct answer underneath — 30 easy, 40 medium and 63 hard. Nothing is held back, and you do not need an account to read them.
They are here as a list because that is what a trivia night, a Sunday school lesson or a long car journey actually needs: the question and the answer in front of you. If you would rather be asked them one at a time and scored, the same 133 questions are the Bible Trivia Quiz.
How to run a round of Bible trivia
Pick a grade rather than working top to bottom — a round of ten from one band keeps a group at roughly the same success rate, which is what stops trivia from turning into two people answering everything. Read the question, then the four options, then give it a beat before reading the answer line. For a mixed-age group, the Bible Quiz for Kids has its own, easier set of questions, written for children rather than filtered down from these.
Easy Bible trivia questions (30)
The ones most people who grew up around the Bible will get. Good for a warm-up round, for children old enough to read, or for a mixed group where you want everyone answering.
