59 free Arcane trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Sep 2026.
48 free Arcane trivia questions with answers. Arcane took a video game nobody thought could be adapted and turned it into one of the best-reviewed animated series ever made. This quiz covers both seasons of the Netflix and Riot Games show: the sisters at the centre of it, the crystals stolen from Jayce's penthouse, Silco and shimmer, Hextech and the Hexcore, the Firelights, the Progress Day bombing, the rocket at the council, and season two's wild rune, Warwick, the Black Rose, the alternate-universe Powder and the finale. Easy questions ask which game it comes from and who voices Vi. The hard ones want Singed's real name, which councilor secretly backed Jayce and Viktor, what colour flare the sisters used, who turned out to be a spy, and how many countries put the show at No. 1 in its first week. There are questions on the production too: Fortiche, the six-year development, the Twitch premiere and the Emmy. Every answer was checked against encyclopaedia entries on the series, its episodes, its characters and its theme song, and each question shows the sentence that backs it up. Spoilers for both seasons throughout.
30 of 59 questions with answers and explanations. Play the quiz
Q 01Arcane is set in the universe of which video game?
League of Legends
League of Legends is Riot's online battle arena, yet the show needs no knowledge of it: IGN's reviewer scored season one a 10 having never played the game.
Q 02Which French animation studio produced Arcane?
Fortiche
Fortiche, a Paris studio, had made music videos for Riot since 2013, and that partnership grew into the series.
Q 03Who voices the adult Vi in Arcane?
Hailee Steinfeld
Hailee Steinfeld voices the adult Vi, and the show sent players back to the character: Vi's pick rate in the game climbed within days of the premiere.
Q 04Which actress voices Jinx, and won an Annie Award for the episode 'When These Walls Come Tumbling Down'?
Ella Purnell
Ella Purnell won for the episode in which Jinx finally reunites with Vi, only for the sight of Caitlyn to sour it; Mia Sinclair Jenness voices the character as a child.
Q 05In Arcane, Vi's giant gauntlets were first built as a tool for which workers?
Miners
Miners: Jayce designed the Hextech gloves so workers in the fissures could dig without tiring; Vi grabs a pair before a factory raid and keeps them as boxing gloves.
Q 06In Arcane, Vi is short for which first name?
Violet
Violet is first spoken late in the third episode, and a season-two flashback shows it was Vander who suggested the name to her mother.
Q 07Who created Arcane?
Christian Linke and Alex Yee
Christian Linke and Alex Yee were longtime Riot staffers with no experience of making television when the company let them try a pilot; Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord directed season one.
Q 08What pushed Arcane's premiere back a year?
The COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic: in June 2020 Riot said video meetings were no substitute for being in a room together and moved the show from 2020 to 2021.
Q 09Each Arcane season reached Netflix in three weekly batches known as what?
Acts
Acts: each season's episodes arrived three at a time over three weekends, so nobody could binge the whole run on day one.
Q 10Which band performs 'Enemy', Arcane's opening theme, with rapper JID?
Imagine Dragons
Imagine Dragons had history with Riot: they recorded 'Warriors' for the game in 2014, seven years before 'Enemy' opened the show.
Q 11Who voices Jayce Talis, the inventor of Hextech?
Kevin Alejandro
Kevin Alejandro voices Jayce, who starts the show hauled before Piltover's council over his unsanctioned magic research and within a few years holds a seat on it.
Q 12In Arcane's second season, what can Ekko's Z-Drive do?
Rewind time
Rewind time: Ekko builds it while stranded in a parallel universe, and each pull winds the world back just four seconds, enough to disrupt Viktor in the finale.
Q 13Arcane's explosions, smoke and tears are mostly made with which technique?
2D animation
2D animation: the show's animation director said effects are mostly done in 2D over 3D characters and digitally hand-painted backgrounds, which is why frames look like illustrations.
Q 21Which Hollywood actress voices LeBlanc, leader of the Black Rose, in season two?
Minnie Driver
Minnie Driver voices the sorceress, who disguises herself as a captive's dead brother and, in the finale, is the one who kills Ambessa.
Q 22What is the name of the young orphan Jinx rescues and takes under her wing in season two?
Isha
Isha repays the rescue in the hardest way: she sacrifices herself, overloading Jinx's pistol with Hextech gems to stop the rampaging beast Vander has become.
Q 23What is the title of Arcane's first episode?
Welcome to the Playground
Welcome to the Playground opens far from play: two young sisters find their parents dead on a battle-scarred bridge, and the rebel leader Vander takes them in.
Q 14What is the name of the bar Vander runs in Zaun?
The Last Drop
The Last Drop doubles as a music venue: the band behind the show's theme song cameos as its house band while Vi hunts Silco's lieutenant there in season one.
Q 15In season two, Vander is transformed into a wolf-like beast known by what name?
Warwick
Warwick is Singed's work: he rebuilds Vander into a human-wolf hybrid, and the beast stops mid-attack when it recognises Jinx.
Q 16What is the name of the purple, mutagenic drug that Silco floods Zaun with?
Shimmer
Shimmer is first tested on a caged rat, which swells and kills the cat sent to hunt it; people who keep using it end up addicted and wasting away.
Q 17Ekko leads which revolutionary Zaunite group?
The Firelights
The Firelights sabotage Silco's drug trade and help its addicts recover; their leader's identity is a reveal, since Ekko was a childhood friend of Vi and her sister.
Q 18Who is the diminutive founder of Piltover who mentors Jayce and Viktor?
Heimerdinger
Heimerdinger ends up ousted by his own pupil: when he orders the dangerous Hexcore destroyed, Jayce engineers a vote that retires him from the council.
Q 19Ambessa, the war general who arrives late in Arcane's first season, hails from which nation?
Noxus
Noxus is where she commands armies: Ambessa reaches Piltover after her son's death, set on hardening her daughter for the coming war with Zaun.
Q 20Singed's real name, revealed in season two, is what?
Corin Reveck
Corin Reveck was a disgraced Piltover academic, and every experiment he runs, the beast included, serves one aim: reviving his comatose daughter, Orianna.
Q 24In Arcane's opening heist, what do Vi and her siblings steal from Jayce's penthouse?
A set of magical crystals
A set of magical crystals: the youngest drops one, the blast wrecks part of the building, and the wreckage exposes Jayce's unsanctioned research to the council.
Q 25What are the names of Vi and Jinx's two adopted brothers, who die in the failed rescue of Vander?
Mylo and Claggor
Mylo and Claggor are killed by accident: their little sister sets off a bomb meant to help the rescue, and Vi's furious reaction drives the girl to Silco.
Q 26Which councilor secretly backs Jayce and Viktor's early Hextech experiments?
Mel Medarda
Mel Medarda shields the banned research from her fellow councilors, and the gamble pays off: within a few years Hextech has made Piltover rich.
Q 27In Arcane, what does Piltover's Progress Day celebrate?
Its founding
Its founding: the Progress Day in season one is the city's 200th, and Jayce shelves a planned unveiling that day after his mentor warns the device is dangerous.
Q 28Where does Caitlyn find the adult Vi locked up in Arcane's first season?
Stillwater Hold
Stillwater Hold had held Vi for years: Marcus, an enforcer on Silco's payroll, locked her away there, and Caitlyn frees her to help track Silco down.
Q 29What colour is the flare Vi gave her little sister, which the sisters use to reunite in season one?
Blue
Blue: Vi hands her the flare before leaving on the doomed rescue of Vander, and it stays unlit for years until her sister learns Vi is alive.
Q 30Who does Viktor accidentally kill while experimenting with the Hexcore in season one?
Sky
Sky was his assistant and childhood friend; guilt over her death makes Viktor beg Jayce to destroy the Hexcore, and her spirit accompanies him in season two.
