The Last Supper as a game: the upper room, the towel and the bread

The story, in order

The quest, In the Upper Room, has eight steps, and they follow the passages in order. Nothing is added to the text; the steps are a way of making sure you miss none of it.

1. Hear how Peter and John were sent to prepare.
2. Find the man carrying a pitcher of water.
3. Learn what the Passover lamb pointed to.
4. See the basin and the towel.
5. Hear what Jesus said as He washed their feet.
6. Hear His words over the bread and the cup.
7. See who went out into the night.
8. Read the new commandment.

Who you meet

Six people and voices stand in the scene. Each speaks only from their own place in the passages.

• The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved — the disciple sent with Peter to make ready, who leaned on Jesus’ bosom and asked who it was.
• Simon Peter — the disciple who would not have his feet washed, then asked for “my hands and my head” too.
• Jesus, Washing His Disciples’ Feet — met and spoken with, never played, who girded Himself with a towel and gave them “an example”.
• Jesus at the Passover Table — met and spoken with, never played, who broke the bread, gave the cup and spoke the new commandment.
• A Disciple at the Table — one of the twelve, who tells you how each of them began to say, “Lord, is it I?”
• Judas Iscariot — the disciple who kept the bag, who received the piece of bread and “went immediately out” into the night.

What you find

Walk up to any of these and the game reads you the verses it comes from, in the King James Version.

• A Man Carrying a Pitcher of Water (Luke 22:10–12)
• The Passover Lamb (Luke 22:7)
• The Basin and the Towel (John 13:3–5)
• The Unleavened Bread (Matthew 26:26)
• The Cup and the Fruit of the Vine (Luke 22:17–20)
• The Piece of Bread (John 13:26–28)
• A New Commandment (John 13:31–35)

The new commandment

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:34–35, King James Version

Every verse the game quotes is the KJV. Where a character speaks in their own words, the dialogue is written from the passages and checked against our doctrinal rules before release. The about page says plainly how we read the Bible.

How to play it

1. Open the game in your browser and make an account. A child under 13 gives a parent's email instead of their own, and the parent confirms before the child can play with anyone else; see the page for parents.
2. Play the short intro story in the Archivery, the library where the Scribe finds the Book. It is free and takes a few minutes.
3. Open the world map and choose The Last Supper. To play with others, start a room and share its code, which looks like SCRIBE-7K4P2Q; up to six people can join from their own devices.
4. Walk the map, speak with everyone, read everything, then step into the quiz zone.
