Verse Arcade

Everything here is new since 1.2.0. TODAY IS TWO THINGS NOW • The Play tab is today's verse, today's trivia round and your road. Nothing else. • Trivia is four hundred questions about the BOOKS of the Bible. Five on one book each morning, the same book for everyone. No XP, no rank, nothing to fall behind on. • A compass names what is open right now and goes quiet once your day is done. Never a score, never a list of what you missed. EVERY RUN ENDS WITH WHAT YOU LEARNED • Miss a question and the fact behind it is waiting at the end — "3 things you now know", never "3 wrong". • Earn a piece for one of your rooms and you are told the moment it is yours. BATTLE ANYONE, RIGHT NOW • Quick match: tap it and we put you with whoever else is looking. No code, no queue, no rating. • Or share a room code. You both read the same verse, you both tap ready, and a bar shows where the other player is. • Pick the round: the verse, or trivia on one book. • 10 XP for turning up, three a day — winner and loser get exactly the same. • Six looks earned in battle. Jonathan and Deborah from playing live, win or lose; Francis, Hildegard, Aquinas and Melisende from winning. No progress bar to grind, and nothing counts what you have lost. THERE IS AN ARCADE IN HERE • Manna Rush: seven days in the wilderness. Gather the fresh flakes, leave yesterday's, and on the seventh day the best thing is to rest. • Word Catch: a verse comes loose from the page and you tap the words back in order. • Cross Word: two words that share a letter, standing as a cross. Solve it and the squares turn to wood with the verse carved underneath. • Your first go on each machine is worth 5 XP a day, for turning up rather than for doing well. No high scores, and nothing here can be lost. • Share a machine: one free go, no account, no download. PRAY, AND BE PRAYED FOR • The Prayer Wall: tuck a note into the stones, and the wall deals somebody else's to you. Hold the candle until the wick catches. • A stranger only ever sees the category. Your own words reach your church and buddies, or nobody at all. Anonymous unless you sign it. • No note carries a count, so no note can become a ladder of who is loved. READING FINALLY UNLOCKS SOMETHING • Read every chapter of a book and its seal is pressed into your Bible. Sixty-six to find, and the short ones take an evening. • A wardrobe page: everything there is to wear and what brings it. No counts, no bars. • Four rings and four badges for chapters opened, the first at ten. Nothing here can be taken back. • Three looks that layer BEHIND your own character instead of replacing it — a vine, a pillar of fire, sheltering wings. Your face, your robe, your items stay. FIRST LIGHT • Whoever opens a day's verse first holds its light, and everyone who opens it after is worth a point to them. Nothing is taken from anybody — the points are minted, not moved. No second place, and a fresh start at midnight. YOUR CHURCH HAS SOMEBODY TO PLAY THIS WEEK • Every Monday your church meets another its own size. Whoever gives more raises a statue in their churchyard, and your congregation picks which one. Nobody is named on the losing side, and Monday starts everyone at nothing. • Small congregations play small ones, so a church of four can win its week. • The board reads Today, This week or All time, so a church playing hard now is not buried under one that banked points two years ago. THE REST • Your week, on a Sunday: what you did over seven days. Your own numbers, nothing compared to anybody. • Your reminder learns the hour you actually play. • Put a favourite verse, book and translation on your card. • Drag anything in your Upper Room, hall or churchyard exactly where you want it, and pick what the room is made of: clay, limestone, cedar or dusk. All four free, and none of them makes a bigger room. No ads, no tracking, and a wrong answer still teaches you something.
