100 free Adventures in Odyssey trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
45 free Adventures in Odyssey trivia questions with answers. Adventures in Odyssey has been on the radio since 1987, which means three generations have grown up on Whit's End, the Imagination Station and the Bible-teaching, ice-cream-serving John Avery Whittaker. This quiz is for all of them. It covers the show's origins as Family Portraits, the three actors who have voiced Whit, the original Disney-trained cast, Connie, Eugene, Wooton, Bernard, Jason, the Rathbones and the Blackgaard twins, the newer Parker and Jones families, the animated video series, the computer games, the club, the Chick-fil-A CDs and the announced feature film. The easy questions ask who owns Whit's End and which organisation produces the show. The hard ones want the year the pilot aired, how many hours an early episode took to make, which Andy Griffith Show regular first voiced Whit, which Terminator actor plays the Blackgaards and which Animaniacs voice plays Wooton. Built for youth groups, family road trips and long-time listeners. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the series, its producer and its cast, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.
