42 free Dead by Daylight trivia questions with answers. Dead by Daylight has been running trials in the Fog since June 2016, and with 70 million players it calls itself the most played horror game in history. This DBD trivia quiz covers the whole thing: the one-versus-four rules, generators and exit gates, hook stages, perks, hexes and boons, the Bloodweb, and the lore of the Entity and its campfire. There are questions on the original killers and survivors, the licensed chapters that made the game a hall of fame of horror, from The Shape and Laurie Strode in 2016 through Freddy, Pyramid Head, the Nemesis, Sadako, the Xenomorph, Chucky, Dracula and Springtrap, and the chapters that were pulled: Stranger Things, Hellraiser and Halloween. There are also questions on the 2v8 and Lights Out modes, the mobile version, the dating sim, the board game, the comics and the Blumhouse film. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's Dead by Daylight article and its DLC table. Warm-ups on the basic rules come first; the questions about the Deathslinger's map and the Nicolas Cage chapter are for players with a P100.
