Epic Chronicle is the full challenge: 10 events including tricky within-era ordering, 3 minutes. The Daily Challenge presents the same 6 events to every player worldwide each day with no time limit — perfect for Sunday school groups, family game nights, or personal devotional reflection.
Which eras of the Bible are covered?+
Nine eras of salvation history are covered: Creation (Genesis 1–11), the Patriarchs (Abraham through Joseph), Moses and the Exodus (Exodus through Deuteronomy), the Conquest and Judges (Joshua through Judges), the United Kingdom (1 Samuel through 1 Kings), the Prophets (Elijah, Jonah, Isaiah, and the divided kingdom), the Exile and Return (Daniel, Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah), the Life of Jesus (the Gospels), and the Early Church (Acts, Paul's epistles, and Revelation).
Is this game suitable for children and Sunday school?+
Yes — the Bible Timeline Challenge was designed with all ages in mind. The Quick Round uses only the most universally recognised Biblical events, making it a wonderful introduction to Bible chronology for children. The hint system (which reveals the correct position of a misplaced card) reduces frustration for younger players. Teachers can use the Daily Challenge as a group activity, with everyone sorting the same events simultaneously.
How does the hint system work?+
Each game gives you two hints. Tapping the Hint button highlights a card that is in the wrong position and shows a badge indicating where it should go. The hint disappears after 3.5 seconds. Using a hint does not end your game but will affect your final score.
