A Kahoot alternative for churches, youth groups and Bible trivia
Quizzo is a simple live quiz game for youth groups, Sunday schools and church events: everyone joins from a phone, reads the question on their own screen and plays for the podium. It costs $9 a month, billed monthly, for up to 500 players, so you can subscribe for camp or Vacation Bible School (VBS) and cancel afterwards. Below are practical ideas, from books of the Bible to sermon recaps.
Where Kahoot gets in the way
Free plans are sized for a small group
A youth group that starts on a free plan hits the ceiling fast: 10 players per game on a personal account, or 15 players in 15-minute sessions on the free work plan. A youth night with 30 teenagers is over both.
Fellowship nights need a bigger plan
On Kahoot's monthly personal plans, a church-wide evening for 150 people is past the 100-player tier, so it means Gold at $25 for the month; a 300-person gathering needs Kahoot! One at $34.99.
The nonprofit discount comes with an annual license
Kahoot! 360's 50% nonprofit discount applies to work plans sold per presenter on annual billing ($228 to $948 a year before the discount, excluding VAT), so every volunteer who hosts needs a license of their own.
Not everyone can read the screen
Kahoot's live games show only colored shapes on players' devices unless the leader switches on questions on devices, so older members at the back of the hall, or kids who can't see past the row in front, depend on the projector.
How Quizzo helps
Month-to-month budgeting
$9 a month, cancel anytime. Subscribe for the month of VBS, a retreat or the fall kickoff instead of committing for a year.
Room for the whole congregation
Up to 500 players in one game, so a combined youth rally or a church-wide fellowship night fits easily.
Readable for every age
Each player has the full question and answers on the screen in their hand, so grandparents and kids alike can read without squinting at the projector.
Kid-friendly joining
No accounts and no app: players type a nickname, and leaders can remove any inappropriate name from the lobby with one click.
Time to teach between questions
On a manual pace, the leader can share the Scripture reference or a short reflection after each answer, while the answer chart shows what the group already knows.

Quiz ideas to get you started
- Books of the Bible: 'Which book comes right after Genesis?' (Exodus) or 'Which of these is not one of the four Gospels?' (Acts).
- Who said it?: 'Here am I; send me.' (Isaiah) or 'Am I my brother's keeper?' (Cain), with four names as answers.
- Bible numbers: how many days and nights it rained during the flood (40) and how many apostles Jesus chose (12).
- Parables round: 'Which parable tells of a son who asks for his inheritance early?' (the prodigal son).
- Memory verse fill-in: a verse with one word missing and four options, such as 'For God so loved the ___' (world), ideal for daily VBS review.
- Bible geography: map images with questions like 'In which town did Jesus grow up?' (Nazareth) or 'Where was Jesus born?' (Bethlehem).
- Sermon recap for youth group: five questions on Sunday's message, played at the midweek meeting.
- Know your church: founding year, past pastors, ministries and mission partners, with photos from the church archive.
- Christmas and Easter specials: nativity questions in December and Holy Week questions in spring, such as 'Which of these happened first?' with four events as answers.
- Meet the leaders: 'Which youth leader once lived abroad?' with the leaders' photos, an easy icebreaker for newcomers.

Good to know
Quizzo has no ready-made Bible quizzes or public library, so leaders write their own questions, and there's no free plan: it costs $9 a month. It's multiple choice only, with no team mode and no slides for lyrics or sermon notes. Every player needs a device; in children's ministry, pair kids with a leader or let a small group share a tablet.
