App Store Description
ZOE Is a bible game. It is a fun game of strategy that tests your bible knowledge, and entices you to learn scriptures - though deep thinking, memory and meditation.
The idea was spawned by mixing the board game scrabble, a love of numbers and a desire to learn the bible to form a game that can be played as part of a community.
The skill behind ZOE comes from playing any one of the books from the Old or New Testaments, and having seven numbers on your rack. You play the numbers to form verses out of that particular book. Then you are quizzed on your knowledge of the verse. For example: if you are playing JOHN and you play 3:16, you will need to pick the correct John 3:16 out of a choice of three scriptures. If you get it right, you get the points. If you get it wrong, you lose the points. Whoever gets the most points wins.
Points are ascribed by number, so the number 16 is worth 16 points. So JOHN 3 and 16 played together makes 19 points either gained or lost. There are also bonus squares which can add point to your moves - if you land a verse on them. You can play many verses at one time, in many combinations. The more verses you know and get right, the more points you get.
There is also a bonus 100 points for playing all seven numbers on your rack and getting all played verses correct. The game is concluded when one player uses his allotted 40 tiles first.
ZOE attempts to build a community of bible lovers and bible learners from all over the world. It contains a chat function, a random player search function, and a search for friends function. You can also share on Facebook and Twitter - to show all your friends how good your bible knowledge is and encourage them to play too.
It is divided into ZOE NT and ZOE OT - both free and paid. You will also be able to use different translations to the KJV with the paid versions, and get rid of the ads.
