Join a game (players)

Joining a Bible Challenge needs no app and no account - just a phone and the game code.

Join in three steps

1. Scan the QR code shown on screen, or go to sanctumel.com/j.
2. Enter the game code (6 digits) - it is already filled in if you came via the QR.
3. Pick a nickname and tap Join.

You are now in the lobby: wait, the host starts the game once everyone is ready.

Play

• A 3-2-1 countdown announces each question.
• Four big buttons in different colours and shapes appear - tap the one for your answer. The shapes let you play even without reading the screen.
• Answer fast: the timer on your phone counts down, and speed earns more points.
• After each question, you see whether you were right or wrong, your points, your streak and above all your rank among the players.

Good to know

• The sound (countdown, right or wrong answer) can be muted with the speaker button.
• At the end, your final place is shown - reason enough to play again.
• You can play from anywhere in the world: everything runs over the internet.

Disconnected? You lose nothing

1. Locked screen, reloaded page, battery saved just in time: rescan the QR (or reopen the link) - you get your place back automatically, with your nickname and points.
2. Arriving late? You can join a game already started: you enter at 0 points and play from the next question.
3. If the code says "no game", the game is over or the host started a new round: scan the new QR projected on screen.

The question also shows on your phone

During the game, your screen shows the question number, its full text and the answers: you can play without looking at the projected screen - handy at the back of the room or remotely.

Learn as you play

At each reveal, your phone now shows the correct answer in full, your answer if you got it wrong, the Bible reference and the explanation - you leave with the verse, not just a score.
