This Friends TV show trivia quiz has 180 free questions with answers and starts where everyone can play: Central Perk, Smelly Cat, Hugsy, Dr. Drake Ramoray, 'we were on a break'. Then it keeps going. The back half is built for people who claim they have seen every episode ten times: how many embryos the doctor implants, what Chandler makes Joey drink from Monica's fridge, which airport Rachel actually flies from in the finale, where the chick and duck get stuck, what half of Rachel's trifle really is, and the childhood mishap behind Miss Chanandler Bong. There are production questions too: the working title, the writer whose husband said 'lobsters', why Phoebe's London scenes were shot in Burbank, the Super Bowl lead-out that became the most-watched episode, and the cast member credited as a guest star for ten straight seasons. Play it as a warm-up round for a Friends night, or skip straight to the hard Friends trivia questions at the end and see who is bluffing. Every answer has been checked against an encyclopaedic source and each question shows its citation once you have answered.
