Four ways to play
However you study, however you gather.
Solo, with the people next to you, with the room down the hall — or built around any topic you choose.
01
Solo
Just you and Scripture.
Open the app, pick a topic, and run a round at your own pace. The verse and a short commentary land after every answer.
- One player, one device
- A round in five to ten minutes
- Verse + commentary on every question
02
Together
Pass-and-play, two to eight.
One phone, taking turns, scores tracked for everyone in the room. Made for family devotionals, road trips, and small groups.
- Two to eight players on one device
- Names, scores, and turn order tracked
- Mixed difficulty across the round
03
Multiplayer
A room for everyone, anywhere.
Host a room, share the link, and play with friends, classes, or your whole congregation. Same questions, individual phones, shared leaderboard.
- Each player on their own phone
- Five-character room code + invite link
- Live leaderboard with per-question review
04
Custom
Your topic. Your verse. Your round.
Type any topic, verse, book, or theme — Kerygma builds the round around it. Made for sermons, study groups, or that one chapter you keep coming back to.
- Free-text input — anything you want
- Questions sourced from your topic
- Works with Solo, Together, or Multiplayer
How a round works
Open. Answer. Learn. Repeat.
From picking a topic to playing with your whole group — three steps, no friction.
01
Pick a topic
Choose a category from the twenty-four, or type any verse, book, or theme into Custom mode.
02
Answer and learn
Tap your answer, and the actual verse opens with a short commentary tying it back to the question. Quiet repetition is how it sticks.
03
Play together
Host a room with a five-character code. Friends or your whole congregation join from their own phones — same questions, shared leaderboard.
A note from the maker
I built Kerygma over six months because I wanted a quiet way to spend a few minutes a day with Scripture — not another habit-tracker, not a streak machine, not something engineered for engagement. Just questions, the verse, and a short commentary. If it turns out to be useful to you, that's all I hoped for.

Common questions
A few things people ask.
Is my data private?
No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics. Solo and Together rounds stay on your device. Multiplayer rooms keep names and scores briefly so the leaderboard works, then they're cleared.
Can children play?
Yes — Apple rates Kerygma 4+. Difficulty has three tiers, so younger players can stay on Acquainted (familiar stories, clear answers) while everyone else takes harder rounds.
How does the trial work?
Seven days, every feature, no credit card required up front. You won't be charged unless you choose to subscribe before the trial ends.
Can I cancel anytime?
Anytime, from your Apple Subscriptions settings. Your access stays active through the end of the period you've already paid for.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes — same app, with a layout built for the larger screen. Landscape and portrait both supported.
Can I play with my whole church or group?
Multiplayer mode hosts a room with a five-character code. Everyone joins from their own phone, plays the same questions in sync, and shares one leaderboard with per-question review.
Which Bible translation does Kerygma use?
The verses that appear with each answer are pulled from the English Standard Version (ESV). The questions themselves are AI-generated based on the canonical text and aren't translation-specific.
How is Kerygma different from other Bible apps?
Most Bible apps are reading apps. Kerygma is a study tool — every round leaves you with a verse open in front of you and a short commentary. There are no ads, no streak guilt, no daily-verse cards, no liturgical calendar. The whole product does one thing: trivia rounds that pull you back into the actual text.
Are there ads in Kerygma?
No. Not now and not planned. The subscription is the only revenue model — that's the entire business and it's deliberate. No banner ads, no sponsored questions, no in-app upsells beyond the subscription itself.
Can I play offline?
Question generation requires an internet connection because each question is freshly written by AI in real time. Once a round has loaded, you can complete it offline. Multiplayer rounds need everyone connected.
How is the app rated?
Apple rates Kerygma 4+, the most family-friendly tier. The Acquainted difficulty is suitable for elementary-age children; Conversant fits middle-schoolers and adults working at narrative grasp; Profound is written for adults with biblical literacy. There's no inappropriate content at any difficulty.
