Email:	games Dante’s Trivia Inferno Object: To advance from Earth to Heaven while avoiding Hell by answering a series of questions related to the Catholic Church and faith. Rules You start on Earth and attempt to move up to Heaven via Dante’s elevator by answering three questions in each of five different skill level categories. For each skill level you complete you advance one floor closer to Heaven. A correct answer in any level will advance you to the next question. Three correct questions in a row will move you to the next floor. Miss a question on any floor at any time and you sink down a floor. Should you miss a question while on the first level, you sink to Hell and the game will end. You can always resume the game later. There are two “spiritual lifeline” buttons that you may use to skip any question on any level except the final level. When you’ve used both, you are on your own. If you’re lucky enough to enter Heaven, be sure to post your name with our other heavenly winners below.

S.E.C. -- September 2nd, 2008 at 2:15 pm After many tries, I got to “Heaven”. The questions about TV and movies and questions involving exact historical dates almost always messed me up. Mary -- September 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 am OK I can tell you most anything you want to know about the Catholic Church but not Islam So I keep ending up in the pits of Hell So what is this game about again ? I egt to heaven by learning about Islam ? Shannon Stowe -- September 4th, 2008 at 6:04 pm Think about the life of St. Paul (the Paulists run this site if I’m not mistaken). St. Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, often using what he knew of foreign faiths to bring people to Christianity. So, it is perfectly understandable that there would be questions about other faiths. Similar thinking also explains the pop culture questions. How do you talk to a young person about The Faith? It’s a hard game, but well worth the time and trouble. Alice -- September 11th, 2008 at 12:35 pm It would be nice if the game would give correct answers when you’ve answered incorrectly :) Denise -- September 13th, 2008 at 6:36 pm Whew!!! Finally made it! It is actually a clever learning tool, as well. Very worthwhile, and fun. M&K -- September 18th, 2008 at 2:43 am Me and my mom both made it to heaven and when we clicked submit it just turned yellow and didn’t post SarahB -- September 19th, 2008 at 3:40 pm Made it to Heaven- Fun game! Sr Gayle -- September 22nd, 2008 at 4:40 pm Mine would not submit either. Nancy -- September 26th, 2008 at 11:09 pm I finally made it to heaven but..My score 390 wouldn’t submit. I like this game and think would be nice if updated and changed every few months. I have always looked for catholic games or saint cames. Think it would be great to have a catholic game site of different games. AJDS -- October 3rd, 2008 at 6:08 pm I‚Äôm very wary of the fact that this game has so many questions about Scientology. That is not a legitimate ‚Äúfaith.‚Äù It‚Äôs a commercial cult, and we should be not legitimizing it. Steve P -- November 4th, 2008 at 2:34 pm Good clean fun, and nothing wrong with having stuff about other faiths. I agree with Shannon on that one. And relax– it’s a game! You don’t really go to hell if you don’t know that Madonna embraces Kabballah. No one will know if you have to google for a few answers! Finally, yes, more updating would be great. Certainly no shortage of material. Steve -- December 5th, 2008 at 6:24 am Excellent game, if it were only that easy to get to heaven Jason G -- January 9th, 2009 at 2:09 pm Still can’t add your name to the Cloud 9 club once you get to Heaven. Functionality broken? John T. -- January 18th, 2009 at 11:15 am John T.: Fun game. Lots of incidental learning in finding the answers. I guess that’s what a lot of the game is about. I made it to “heaven”, but also unable to submit my name to the Cloud Nine Club. The submit button is not an active icon. Cheryl -- January 25th, 2009 at 3:11 pm I made it! Deep Thought -- February 3rd, 2009 at 5:48 pm I made it to heaven but adding the name to the roster was not working. DeliaC -- February 4th, 2009 at 4:18 pm Fun and challenging. I’m disapointed that the questions don’t update. Where are other Catholic trivia games online? M Raffaele -- February 12th, 2009 at 9:57 pm Made it to heaven, submitted but it did not register. It seems from the comments that this is common. April Reis -- March 11th, 2009 at 6:40 pm Made it to Heaven! It would be great if it would give you the corect answers if you miss it. Sue -- March 27th, 2009 at 12:58 pm WHEN YOU ANSWER A QUESTION WRONG, WHY DOESN’T IT TELL YOU THE CORRECT ANSWER??? Dan -- April 4th, 2009 at 12:49 pm yea i just made it wow that was good Raymond -- May 1st, 2009 at 9:53 am Boy, I am glad that God doesn’t work this way! Raymond -- May 1st, 2009 at 11:04 am Finally made it, however I have to confess that I used ask.com and New Advent websites. My name would post either….like I said before, I’m glad God doesn’t work this way! patricia gray -- May 2nd, 2009 at 8:39 am You get to heaven by loving other people, Mary. A part of loving other people is understanding them. So, you should understand the similarities and the differences between faiths. And, RN, understanding pop culture helps you minister to all people, as Jesus did, meeting them where they are. This game is a definite PASS. Pati Allyn -- June 6th, 2009 at 3:47 pm I was finally able to to get to heaven. I went to hell several times before making it. I think I’ll play some more. Karen Louise -- July 26th, 2009 at 7:57 pm Great game and learned some great facts along the way. I made it to Heaven but could not submit my score. :-( Mike Z. -- August 28th, 2009 at 10:42 pm I confess… I Googled my way to heaven. Sarah -- August 31st, 2009 at 2:09 pm I have now won twice! I won earlier with some help from google, but won a second time on my own, with different questions… I’m pretty psyched… Great game… and extremely addicting. Max Lindenman -- August 31st, 2009 at 7:24 pm I just went to hell five times in a single afternoon. How many people can say that? chuck -- November 15th, 2009 at 9:10 am What do these questions have to do with being saintly? I do not worship budda or place any gods before the Lord Yahway and his only son Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the light. Your, so called, quiz is bogus and has no bearing on where I’ll spend eternity, but it says a lot about you. Very disappointing… george -- December 24th, 2009 at 11:52 pm man that is fun i won 20 times Katy -- January 18th, 2010 at 11:10 pm Like Mike Z., I Googled my way to Heaven as well! Daniel Harla -- February 3rd, 2010 at 7:14 am I finally made it after trying for about 45 min. The Bowles -- March 9th, 2010 at 6:36 pm The Bowles family made it to Heaven we submited and nothing happend. Jim -- April 8th, 2010 at 9:58 pm Hate to be the nerd here, but Jerome was most certainly not the first to translate the Bible into Latin. He was commissioned by the pope to create a normative translation in place of the many competing ones available at the time. In addition to doing considerable work with the original languages, he did have access to previous versions, most notably the so-called “Old Latin” translation. Also, he didn’t quite finish this enormous project single-handedly. (I’m just bitter I got a few wrong… ;-) Steve -- April 8th, 2010 at 10:27 pm After spending an embarrassingly long time on this, I finally made it! Bob G. -- April 25th, 2010 at 9:19 am At least give us the correct answer when we miss a question. How else do we learn? Doug -- May 23rd, 2010 at 8:27 pm Hey…I made it to Heaven, but my name was not inscribed among the elect. What gives? I even answered the Scientology questions correctly and new that Barbara Streisand was Jewish! Bridget -- May 26th, 2010 at 7:38 pm Love it! Thank you for so many new questions… Deacon2bGreg -- May 26th, 2010 at 10:59 pm Great learning tool. Don Coleman -- May 29th, 2010 at 7:19 pm Finally made it to heaven but it was a struggle. This is an extremely addictive game with many questions that have nothing to do with our Catholic Faith. But isn’t opening the horizons of our hearts and minds what is required to be in the Kingdom of God? Great fun! Carolyn -- June 5th, 2010 at 12:28 am I don’t feel I deserve to post my name, as I kept a second window open with Wikipedia to make it through. I learned some new things, though, and now want to find out more about my faith! I agree with Deacon2bGreg: it is a good learning tool! Bridget -- July 23rd, 2010 at 11:14 pm Delightful diversion! Really enjoyed playing and the variety of questions–so CATHOLIC CATHOLIC :) Thanks for providing this…it really is more than mere diversion. A “fun” teaching tool. Lori -- July 24th, 2010 at 8:35 pm My 15 year old son just clicked on the first correct answer really fast multiple times which caused the program to jump each level and send him to heaven in less than 10 seconds —- who needs wikipedia? Rebecca -- August 16th, 2010 at 4:08 pm Very disappointed that I cannot add my name and score to the cloud nine club… A lesson in humility perhaps?! Still a fun quiz!!! Valerie Shpak -- September 18th, 2010 at 10:26 pm I got a score of 450 and I wrote my name in the CLoud Nine club but it would not post. Why not? I think this a fun game for my Confirmation class and I would like them to get to Heaven and be able for them to enter thier names. Su -- September 23rd, 2010 at 2:44 pm Made it! Virginia -- October 7th, 2010 at 8:17 pm Lots of fun! Virginia -- October 8th, 2010 at 6:05 pm I have a long term goal and a short term goal. My short term goal is to pay my bills and my long term goal is to get to Heaven. AND I HOPE TO BRING EVERYONE I HAVE MET TO HEAVEN! Ann -- December 21st, 2010 at 5:05 pm I made it! But it would not post in the Cloud Nine Club! Maybe as Rebecca said, it is a lesson in humility….. Gerri Mackey -- December 26th, 2010 at 3:16 pm What a fun game! I am in a master’s program at Creighton and I thought I would swing right through it – HA! I have been trying for three days to get to Heaven, making several stops in Hell along the way; hmmm . . . a bit like my life! Thank you Busted Halo for designing a great trivia game that is not only based on scripture! I have posted it on my FB page for all my friends. Gerri Mackey -- December 26th, 2010 at 3:18 pm PS: Oh yeah, my name did not post either – thank you Ann and Rebecca for the “humility” reminder – LOL! Karen Latto -- March 8th, 2011 at 9:52 pm Fun and challenging! Just wasted 25 minutes not correcting student papers! Guess we all need a break once in a while! marmar -- August 22nd, 2011 at 6:59 pm After I made it to heaven, the submit button didn’t work. kenui95 -- September 23rd, 2011 at 11:54 pm Cloud 9 Club score 450 After making it Heaven the submit button didn’t work Kate -- September 28th, 2011 at 11:39 pm Do I still get to Heaven if I confess that I googled some of the answers??? Whew – frustrating game, but fun and educational :) John -- January 29th, 2012 at 7:17 pm I googled my way in. Ballykissangel?
