👥 Teams & Scoreboard
1–5 teams share the scoreboard across every game. Your room has 3 desk columns, so 3 is the default. Tap a team on the scoreboard anytime to fix its score by any place value.
🎯 Quiz — add questions
One per line, * marks the correct answer. On-screen answer order is shuffled automatically. MC | Who led Israel out of Egypt? | Moses* | David | Noah | Paul TF | Noah built an ark. | True FB | Jesus turned water into ___. | wine
🕵️ Who Am I? — add clue sets
One set per line: the answer first, then clues from hardest to easiest (early guesses are worth more). Moses | Born a slave, raised a prince | Met God in a burning bush | Sent the ten plagues | Parted the Red Sea
🏆 Jeopardy — build a board
One clue per line. Start each line with the round: S = Jeopardy, D = Double Jeopardy, F = Final. A random Daily Double is hidden each game (2 in the Double round). S | Old Testament | 100 | Who built the ark? | Noah D | Kings | 200 | Who was the first king of Israel? | Saul F | The Gospel | What must you do to be saved? | Believe in Jesus
Leaving off S/D/F is treated as a single Jeopardy round.
🧩 Concentration — match sets & pictures
Each set is a pile of matching pairs (12 are used per game on the 5×5 board). One item per line makes a pair of the same word; use A | B to match two different things. Lamb of God (matches another "Lamb of God" tile) Bethlehem | Jesus was born here (matches a place to its fact) Pictures: put image files in an images folder in your repo, then just type the filename (e.g. shepherd.jpg) on the game screen. You can also set a default image below.
⏱️ Beat the Clock — categories
One category prompt per line — the kind of thing a team can rattle off. The teacher taps +1 for each right answer against the clock. Name the Twelve Disciples Name animals that were on Noah's ark
🎭 Reverse Charades — word sets
Each set is a title plus words/phrases to act out — one per line. The word shows big on screen; the acting team's guesser faces away. Parting the Red Sea Noah building the ark
🏆 Word Puzzle Wheel — puzzles
One puzzle per line: Category | PHRASE. Keep phrases fairly short so they fit the board. The wheel already has all the money spaces plus Bankrupt, Lose a Turn, and a $5,000 wedge. Bible Verse | THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD Bible Person | JOHN THE BAPTIST
🚀 Verse Voyager — verses
One verse per line: Reference | the verse words | decoy1, decoy2, decoy3. The verse words become the sequence the ship must collect in order; the decoys are the wrong words mixed in at each gate. Shorter verses make easier levels — they're played in the order listed. John 11:35 | Jesus wept | cried, slept, prayed, laughed 1 John 4:8 | God is love | good, great, light, joy

🥔 Hot Potato
Hot Potato uses your Quiz Showdown multiple-choice and true/false questions (fill-in-the-blank ones are skipped). You choose which lesson’s questions to use on the game screen. The fuse is a secret, random length somewhere between these two times:
📜 Memory Verses
One verse per line: Reference | verse text Acts 7:51 | You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears...
✍️ Catechism
One per line: number | question | answer. Put optional parts of an answer in [square brackets]; the game can show the answer with or without them. A number that already exists replaces that question. 12 | Who made you? | God made me.
