50 free Clash of Clans trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Clash of Clans has been on phones since 2012, and its mustachioed Barbarians and noisy village raids have made it one of the most recognisable mobile games ever made. Behind the cartoon armies sits a deep rulebook of troops, spells, defenses and upgrades, plus more than a decade of odd stories about how the game was built and sold. This quiz covers all of it: which troop does what, what unlocks at Town Hall 9, how clans fight and build together, the Builder Base, decorations such as the Barbarian statues, and the business and advertising history around the game. Every question comes with its answer and a short explanation. It is pitched for players at any level, from new village owners to veterans who remember earlier eras of the game. Play it solo, or run it as a card-by-card quiz night with your clanmates.

Q 12Which defense must every new Clash of Clans player build during the tutorial, as the village's first?

Q 26Which Clash of Clans defense appears only when troops come close, then strikes both ground and air units?
Hidden Tesla
The Hidden Tesla also pops up once 51% of a base is destroyed, and unlike a trap it never needs rearming. Its look and name come from the Tesla coil.
Q 27Which buried Clash of Clans device flings small ground troops clean off the battlefield, removing them instantly?
Spring Trap
The Spring Trap only ejects units that fit its housing-space capacity. Anything heavier is tossed upward and stunned for a moment instead.
