Tips & strategy
Interrogate the specifics
Statements usually go false in the details — a number, a name, a place. "Jonah was swallowed by a whale" fails on one word (Scripture says "great fish"). Check each noun before you vote.
Beware pop-culture Bible
Three wise men, an apple in Eden, angels with harps — culture wrote a lot of "verses" the Bible never did. If you learned it from a painting or a carol, treat it as unverified.
Familiar feeling is not evidence
The game’s favorite trick is a claim that sounds like a proverb. "Cleanliness is next to godliness" and "God helps those who help themselves" feel biblical — neither is in the book.
Scripture Spotlight
Test everything
When Paul’s preaching reached Berea, Luke praises the listeners for one habit: they "examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." Not gullible, not cynical — checkers. True or False? is a sixty-second daily rep of that Berean instinct.
It matters more than ever, because misquotes travel faster than corrections. Learning to pause and ask "does the Bible actually say that?" — and knowing how to find out — is a small skill with a long reach, in conversations, on social media, and in your own reading.
“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
Acts 17:11
“But test them all; hold on to what is good.”
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Good to know
Are the false statements made up?
They’re the myths people actually believe — common misquotes, pop-culture inventions, and details from tradition rather than text. If it’s false here, someone you know thinks it’s true.
Which translation decides the answer?
Answers rest on what the text says across mainstream translations, not on a quirk of one version. When a claim hinges on wording, the explanation says so.
Only one question a day?
One sharp claim per day keeps it a habit rather than homework — and you can hit play again to revisit it, or jump to another TriviaPew game for more.
