Jacob’s Ladder
Seven Bible prompts, 25 seconds each. Less-obvious answers rise higher, based on our ratings. A trivia ascent, not a measure of faith.

How to play
Seven prompts a day, the same seven for everyone. For each, type one answer and launch before the 25-second gauge runs out.
Two kinds of prompts. Broad lists - like the books of the Bible, Protestant through Orthodox, or the kings of Israel and Judah - where less-obvious answers score higher by our editorial ratings. And small complete sets - like the 7 churches of Revelation - where every valid answer earns full 100 points. Either way: if your answer truly fits, it counts.
As you type, if we spot a one-letter slip we offer the fix - tap it to use it, or keep typing. Miss the tap and misspell anyway, we show you the fix again before it counts - launch again to confirm, or keep editing. A wrong answer doesn't end the round - we say it's off and you try again while the gauge keeps running. If the gauge runs out, you stay put. Either way, the next prompt is waiting.
Our point ratings are our own editorial judgment of how obvious each answer is - never measured from other players. Spelling is forgiving; capitalization doesn't matter. Your answers and streak stay in this browser. After a climb you can optionally count your final score toward today's real player percentile - only the score and a random browser ID leave this browser, only if you tap it.
