How to Host Your First Game
Most hosts are up and running in a few minutes. You don't need to be good with computers — just follow these steps.
Choose a game
Pick a game from Kingdom Arena and read its description to check the recommended ages.
Choose a difficulty
Many games offer Kids, Teens/Students, Adults, or Family levels. Pick the one that fits your group.
Set up players or teams
Enter player or team names. Two to four teams works well for most groups — let each team choose a captain.
Connect your display
Plug your laptop into the projector or TV with HDMI (or cast wirelessly), and set your display to Extend.
Set up the audience screen
Choose the game's two-screen option, move the audience screen onto the projector, and click it for full screen. See how →
Explain the rules
Take a minute to walk through how players answer and how points work. Every game has a How to Play button to help.
Run one practice question
A single practice question warms up the room and confirms your screen and sound are working.
Start the game!
Play, cheer, and end with a Scripture takeaway from the game.
✅ Before a big church event
- Open the game ahead of time.
- Test your internet connection.
- Connect your projector or TV.
- Test your sound in the room.
- Check that people at the back can read the screen.
- Run one practice question.
- Make sure scoring works the way you expect.
📣 What to explain before you start
- How players give their answers
- How teams earn points
- Whether another team can steal
- How many rounds you'll play
- How special challenges work
- How the game ends
It only takes a minute or two and makes the whole game run smoother.
⛪ The best setup for a church game night
One laptop for the host · one projector or large TV for players · two to four teams · one host or game leader · an optional microphone for larger rooms.
Run one practice question, explain the rules, and begin the challenge.
Big-Screen Hosting
Dual-Screen Setup
Keep the answer key and controls on your laptop while the room watches the game on the projector or TV.
wireless cast
Duplicate Display Single screen
Shows the same thing on your laptop and the projector. Fine for single-screen games — but the room would also see your answer key.
Extend Display Recommended
Treats the projector as a second screen. Your laptop keeps the host panel while the audience screen sits on the projector.
1 · Windows
- Connect the projector or TV.
- Press Windows + P.
- Choose Extend.
1 · Mac
- Connect the projector or TV.
- Open System Settings › Displays.
- Select the projector and set Use as to Extended display (turn mirroring off).
2 · In the game
- Choose Presenter + Contestant or Dual Screen on the game's start screen.
- The audience screen opens in its own window. In Chrome or Edge, some games can move it to the projector for you — click Allow if the browser asks to manage windows.
- Otherwise, drag that window onto the projector, then click it (or press F11) for full screen.
Quick Fixes
Troubleshooting
Most problems take less than a minute to fix. Tap a question to see the answer.
The audience (Contestant) screen didn't open.
Your browser probably blocked the pop-up window. Look for a blocked-pop-up icon in the address bar, choose Always allow pop-ups for kingdomquestgames.com, then click the game's Contestant Screen (or Dual Screen) button again.
The game doesn't fill the whole screen.
Click once on the audience screen — most Kingdom Arena games go full screen with a single click. You can also use your browser's full-screen mode: press F11 on Windows, or Control + Command + F on a Mac.
Everything looks too small on the projector.
Zoom in with Ctrl + plus (Windows) or Command + plus (Mac), use the game's full-screen option, or lower your computer's display resolution for the projector in your display settings.
I can't hear the sound.
Browsers only play sound after you click something on the page, so start the game with a click. Check the game's sound button (🔊), your computer's volume, and whether sound is going to the TV or projector: when you connect with HDMI, the audio often switches to the TV's speakers.
The Scripture pop-ups say they couldn't load.
Verse pop-ups (like Read the Verse) are fetched from the internet as you play. Check your connection and try again — every pop-up also has a link to read the passage in context.
I accidentally refreshed the page.
Refreshing usually restarts the current game and clears the scores. Avoid refreshing during play; if it happens, jot down the scores and start a new game.
I made a scoring mistake.
Some games, like Word & Wisdom, have score controls the host can adjust. In games without them, keep a quick tally on paper and announce the correction — or simply laugh it off and carry on.
Something else isn't working.
- Refresh the page (between games, not mid-game).
- Check your internet connection.
- Make sure your browser is up to date.
- Close the game and open it again.
- Check that the projector or TV is connected and set to Extend.
- Try another browser such as Chrome or Edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kingdom Quest Games FAQ
Whether you're hosting for children, teens, adults, a Bible study, youth group, classroom, family, or church event, start here.
Getting Started
What is Kingdom Quest Games?
Kingdom Quest Games is a collection of Bible-centered games designed to make learning Scripture engaging, interactive, and fun. Games can be used by individuals, families, churches, classrooms, Bible studies, children's ministries, and youth groups.
What is Kingdom Arena?
Kingdom Arena is the group game-show collection of Kingdom Quest Games — team challenges, Bible trivia, and Scripture-based game shows built for church and ministry events.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Every game runs in your web browser. Open the game, choose your settings, and begin playing. You can also add Kingdom Quest Games to your home screen like an app if you'd like.
Do I need an account?
No. There are no accounts or sign-ups — just open a game and play.
What equipment do I need?
For basic play: a computer, laptop, or tablet, an internet connection, and a current web browser.
For larger groups, connect your computer to a projector, TV, large monitor, or your church presentation system.
What browser should I use?
Any current version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, or Firefox. For two-screen hosting, Chrome or Edge works best, because the game can place the audience screen on your second display automatically.
Screens & Setup
Can I use a projector or TV?
Yes. The games are designed for projectors, televisions, and large displays. Connect with an HDMI cable or wireless screen casting.
What is dual-screen mode?
Many Kingdom Arena games offer a two-screen option (called Presenter + Contestant or Dual Screen, depending on the game). The host keeps the controls and answer key on the laptop while the audience screen shows on the projector or TV. See the Dual-Screen Setup guide.
What's the difference between Duplicate and Extend?
Duplicate shows the same thing on your laptop and the projector. Extend treats the projector as a second screen. For two-screen games, use Extend — otherwise the audience will see your answer key.
Will players be able to see the answers?
Not when you use dual-screen mode with Extend. The audience screen never shows answers until they're revealed. On a single screen, answers appear only after players lock in.
What does the projector show between games?
When you move from one Kingdom Arena game to the next with Play Another Game, the audience screen stays on the projector and shows “Preparing the next Kingdom Quest…” with the name of the game that’s coming up. The room never sees your screen while you get ready.
When the next game is set up, choose its two-screen option as usual. The game opens in that same window on the projector, so you don’t need to drag it over again.
What does the host control?
It depends on the game, but hosts typically control the questions and reveals, teams and players, scores, rounds, timers, special challenges, and difficulty levels.
Playing the Games
Are there different difficulty levels?
Many games offer levels for different ages — for example Kids (Easy), Teens/Students (Medium), and Adults (Hard), and some add a mixed Family level. Many games also get harder as play continues.
What ages are the games for?
Some games are made especially for children; others work well for teens, adults, or mixed-age groups. Check each game's description for the recommended audience.
How many teams can play?
It depends on the game — many work best with two to four players or teams. For a large group, split everyone into a few bigger teams and let them work together.
Do players need their own devices?
No. One host computer runs the game. Players answer out loud, in teams, or by passing the device around.
Can I play by myself?
Many games support a single player; others are designed for teams and groups. Check each game's How to Play.
Where do I find the rules for each game?
Every game has a How to Play button on its start screen, so you can check the rules without leaving the game. Several games also have Print Host Cards — a printable answer key for running the game live.
Can we go straight to another game when one ends?
Yes. Every game ends with three choices: Play Again, Play Another Game, and Return to its collection. Tap Play Another Game to pick your next game from the same collection without going back to the homepage.
If you tap the top bar or All Games in the middle of a game, the game checks first, so a stray tap won’t end it.
Can I restart a game?
Yes — use the game's New Game or Main Menu button. Restarting clears the current scores, so make sure you're ready.
Using the Games in Ministry
Can churches use these games?
Yes — they're made with churches and ministries in mind: children's ministry, youth ministry, Bible studies, small groups, fellowships, family nights, Sunday school, Christian schools, retreats, and ministry events.
Can I use them in Sunday school?
Yes. They work especially well as lesson review, Bible trivia challenges, Scripture reinforcement, group competitions, and end-of-class activities.
Do they work for youth group?
Absolutely. Teen difficulty levels and team-based Kingdom Arena games are great for youth nights, retreats, small groups, and Bible study review.
Can adults and families play too?
Yes. Adult levels go deeper into Bible people, places, events, and history, and families can play individually or in teams on game night.
Are the games meant to replace Bible teaching?
No. Kingdom Quest Games is designed to support Bible learning, reinforce Scripture knowledge, and encourage fellowship. The games work best alongside regular Bible teaching and study.
