About the game
How many Bible categories can you match before time runs out? Roll the letter die to determine the key letter for that round. You roll a “C”. Now start the timer! How quickly can you think of a “Place Christ walked?...” Carelessness! “A name for the Holy Spirit?...” Comforter! What if you can’t think of an answer that starts with the key letter? No problem. Write down any answer that fits the category and you still score points if you answers are different from every other player. The player with the highest score after three rounds is the winner. Scattergories® Bible Edition is great family fun and a real discussion starter as you review your answers to categories such as “Things to forgive.” This game is entertaining, enhances faith and promotes learning.
