Wii BibleQuiz 15.000 downloads

Since the launch (15 November 2008) of BibleQuiz, it is downloaded over 15.000 times. Wow ❗ . So a very special thanks to everyone who’s been downloading, playing and commenting this game.

I personally think that this game needs a lot of more quiz questions. Who can help me with this work. I also search for someone who can translate the existing English questions to Germans, French and Spanish. Who can help me with this! Reactions can be send to info@plaatsoft.nl Many thanks in advance.
