Scripture BattleshipPremium

The classic hide-and-hunt game, played on a week of Come, Follow Me, where every square on the board is a real verse. Hide five passages, then take turns naming verses until one side has found all of the other's.

How to use it

  1. Open Games and tap Scripture Battleship. On your own plays against the computer. The week of scripture is chosen in the settings line above Play.
  2. Tap Play, then hide your five passages (5, 4, 3, 3 and 2 verses long). Tap a verse to lay the next passage from there, or tap Hide them for me. Then tap Play.
  3. On your turn, tap a verse on Its reading and tap Fire in the bar at the bottom.
  4. A card says whether you hit or missed and shows the verse. Tap Carry on, and the computer takes its shot at you.
  5. Tap Click to see your board to check on your own passages. Whoever finds every passage first wins.

Good to know

  • A passage runs along verses in order, so it can wrap onto the next line and even run through a chapter break.
  • When you hit something, try the verses on either side of it.
  • Sinking a passage names the whole range, and Read it in context opens a verse in its chapter.
  • If you leave in the middle, the game is saved. Tap Pick it back up on the Battleship page to carry on.
