Quizzing resources

Start here. Then pick your program.

A central guide to competitive Bible quizzing across WPF, UPCI, National Bible Bee, Bible Bowl, and Awana: how to get started, how to become a quizzer or a coach, where each program keeps its official rules, and free Pace Planner and Recall Check tools for every season calendar.

Coach tools

Plan the listing. Then check recall.

Two free tools that work across WPF, UPCI, ALJC, National Bible Bee, Bible Bowl, and Awana. They do not replace any official listing.

Programs and official links

Five agencies. Equal doors.

Each card opens our independent profile and the program's own official site. We do not rank these leagues, and we do not speak for them.

Memr.is is an independent study platform. Program names are used descriptively. Each organization remains the source of truth for official curriculum, eligibility, scoring, rules, and tournament decisions — without implied endorsement or affiliation.

Questions

The stuff everyone asks first.

What is Memr.is?

Memr.is (say it “memorize”) is a modern Bible quizzing platform for competitive ministry programs. It replaces paper flashcards, legacy quiz software, and the old way with VerseReels, fourteen study modes, solo quizzes, live team matches, leaderboards, and tools for parents, coaches, pastors, and church admins — on desktop, web, iOS, and Android.

What is Bible quizzing?

Competitive Bible quizzing is a church-based memory sport. A quizzer memorizes an assigned portion of Scripture, then answers on it at events their program runs — often on a team, under a clock, on a lockout board. Formats differ: WPF, UPCI, National Bible Bee, Bible Bowl, and Awana each set their own divisions, translations, and rules. It started in Kansas City in 1946.

Which quizzing programs does Memr.is support?

Memr.is includes pre-release 2027 study support for WPF Bible Quizzing (Equipped for Every Battle) and UPCI Bible Quizzing (Lift Up), plus mapped WPF and UPCI Ignite practice forms. The program organizations remain the source of truth for official curriculum, rules, eligibility, and tournament decisions.

Who can join the Memr.is beta?

Adults and quizzers 13–17 can join the beta at beta.memr.is, but every minor's product access stays pending until the required guardian flow is complete. A parent or legal guardian can submit their own contact information for a younger quizzer; coaches and church leaders can request team access but cannot provide parental consent.

Is Memr.is safe for kids?

Memr.is is designed with age tiers, guardian consent, scoped visibility, and no direct messages, public comments, ads, or user-upload stranger feed. Under-13 access is unavailable during beta and requires an expressly approved guardian-cleared flow.

How do I get started in Bible quizzing?

See which program your church already quizzes in, talk to a coach, parent, or pastor, then read that organization's official requirements. Memr.is is the study and practice platform; it does not decide eligibility or replace any official rulebook.

How do I become a Bible quizzer?

Join a local church team, learn your program's division and this year's official material, and practice like the meet. Quizzers 13–17 can join the Memr.is beta with a guardian flow; younger quizzers are covered by a parent or legal guardian. Coaches cannot sign a child up in a parent's place.

How do I become a Bible quiz coach?

Get your church's blessing, pick the program that church will quiz in, and use that organization's official coach and season materials. Memr.is gives coaches assignment, readiness, and live practice matches. Coaches cannot provide parental consent for a minor.

How do parents and churches start a quiz team?

The church chooses the official program. A parent or legal guardian covers every young quizzer. Self-signup is for ages 13 and up, and a coach cannot complete the guardian-consent flow. Memr.is documents age tiers and consent on the Safety page.

Does Memr.is run official Bible quizzing tournaments?

No. Memr.is is an independent study and practice platform. Program organizations remain the source of truth for official curriculum, eligibility, scoring, rules, and tournament decisions, without implied endorsement or affiliation.

What is the Memr.is Pace Planner?

The Pace Planner is a free Memr.is Bible quizzing study calendar. You pick a program, a division, a listing range, and the season dates, and it paints official-list numbers onto each study day. It works across WPF, UPCI, ALJC, National Bible Bee, Bible Bowl, and Awana. It does not reproduce official verse listings.

How many verses a day should a Bible quizzer learn?

It depends on the listing length, the days you actually study, and the date of your next meet. The Pace Planner divides the remaining listing by those study days and then splits the season into a higher weekly rate followed by a lighter finish so the last weeks are not a pile-up.

What is the Memr.is Recall Check?

Recall Check is a free Memr.is recitation sheet. A coach sets a quizzer name, a listing range, and how many verses to draw. The tool shuffles random official-list numbers in that range so the coach can hear the material out loud. It is not a copy of any other site's spot-check worksheet.

Do I need an account to use the Pace Planner or Recall Check?

No. Both tools run in your browser — no sign-in, nothing saved on Memr.is. The Pace Planner builds a study calendar and Recall Check draws random official-list numbers; either one downloads as a letter-size PDF. Your settings live in the page URL, so you can paste that link to another coach and they open the same plan.
