Fifteen games, one game night
From quick-fire quizzes to drawing, puzzles and detective games — switch any time without anyone rejoining.
1–40Lamp Race
Fast, bright, everyone answers at once.
A rapid-fire quiz: the question appears on the big screen, everyone answers on their phone, and the quickest correct answers earn the most light. Turn on “own level” so children, teens and grandparents each get questions made for them — in the same game.
Matthew 5:16
1–12Scroll Showdown
Choose a scroll. Lift your lamp. Know your Bible.
A shelf of sealed scrolls, sorted by topic. The deeper the scroll, the more it's worth. Choose one, be the first to lift your lamp on your phone, and answer before the oil runs out. The night ends with the Final Scroll that everyone answers together.
2 Timothy 3:16
1–40Who Am I?
Clue by clue — guess the Bible person, place or thing.
Clues appear one at a time, from tricky to easy. Lock in your guess as early as you dare: the fewer clues you need, the more points you earn.
Acts 17:11
1–40Timeline Trek
Put Bible history in the right order.
Events, people and Bible books appear in a jumble. Tap them on your phone in the right order — from Noah's ark to Paul's journeys. Points for every item in the right place, plus a bonus for a perfect trek.
Romans 15:4
2–16Sketch & Seek
Draw it on your phone. Everyone else guesses.
One player gets a secret Bible word — Noah's ark, a sling and a stone, a lost sheep — and draws it on their phone while it appears live on the big screen. Everyone else types their guesses. Little artists welcome!
2–12Truth Finder
Spot the true Bible fact among the decoys.
A surprising Bible fact appears with a word missing. Everyone writes a believable decoy answer, then all the answers are mixed together. Can you find the truth? Score for finding it — and for every friend who picks your decoy. Best for teens and adults.
John 17:17
1–40Scroll Scramble
Unroll the letters — find the Bible name.
The letters of a Bible person, place or book tumble out of a scroll. Read the clue, then tap the letters in the right order on your phone. The quicker you unscramble it, the more you score.
Proverbs 25:2
1–40Bookshelf
Which Bible book tells this account?
An account appears on the screen — the Red Sea parting, Daniel in the lions' pit, Paul's shipwreck. Which book of the Bible tells it? A great way to learn your way around the Bible.
Psalm 119:105
1–40Odd One Out
Three belong together. Spot the one that doesn't.
Four answers appear: three share something in common and one doesn't belong. Find the odd one out — then learn what links the other three.
Philippians 1:10
1–40Count the Stars
Guess the number — closest wins.
How many years did Methuselah live? How many fish did the disciples catch? Type your best guess on your phone. Exact answers shine brightest, but everyone close earns points.
Genesis 15:5
1–40Footsteps
Where did it happen? Tap the map.
Walk in the footsteps of Bible people. A question appears — where did Jesus raise the widow's son? where did Paul's ship run aground? — and everyone taps the spot on a real map of Bible lands. The closer your footprint, the more you score.
Psalm 48:12-13
1–40Wall Builders
Rebuild Jerusalem's wall — together.
Like the families in Nehemiah's day, everyone works on the same wall. Builders answer questions at their own level to lay bricks. Watchmen keep their eyes on the big screen and sound the horn when opposers come near. Finish the wall together!
Nehemiah 4:6
1–20The Lost Sheep
Answer to earn a clue. Talk to find the lamb.
One lamb has wandered off. Answer your question to earn a clue from the shepherd, then share clues out loud — “it's next to the well!” — and tap where you think the lamb is hiding. When everyone finds it, there is extra rejoicing.
Luke 15:4
3–40Two by Two
Find the other half of your Bible pair.
Every phone shows half of a Bible pair — Ruth or Naomi, Elijah or Elisha, Jonah or the big fish. Get up, talk to each other and find who holds your partner card, then tap their name. The quickest finds score the most.
Genesis 7:9
1–40Dragnet
Keep the fine fish, throw back the rest.
Inspired by Jesus' illustration of the dragnet. A category appears — the sons of Jacob, the fruitage of the spirit — and fish swim onto your phone. Keep the ones that belong and throw back the rest. Every fish sorted right earns points.

Rooted in the Scriptures
- Every question comes from the New World Translation and cites its verse.
- Nothing contradicts the Bible or what is taught on jw.org.
- We never picture Jehovah or Satan — when a scene needs Jehovah's presence, it's shown as an endless light from above.
- No holidays, luck, magic or wagering — just wholesome fun.
- Found a mistake? Every question has a reference, and you can report it.
- An independent project by volunteers — not an official jw.org product.
Free for all. Kept alive by a few.
Lamplight will always be free, with no ads. If it brings your family joy, you can help cover servers and new games — completely optional.
“Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
