50 free Game of Thrones Season 4 trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Season 4 of Game of Thrones is the one where the show stopped being careful. Joffrey dies at his own wedding in episode two, Tyrion is put on trial for it, Oberyn Martell volunteers to fight the Mountain, Lysa Arryn goes out of the Moon Door, and the season closes with Tywin on the privy and Arya on a boat to Braavos. These 50 questions cover all ten episodes, from 'Two Swords' to 'The Children': the Dornish arrivals, the necklace that carried the poison, the three judges at Tyrion's trial, Shae's testimony, the battle at Castle Black, Stannis's cavalry charge and the Three-Eyed Raven. There are production questions too: George R. R. Martin's last script, Sigur Rós at the wedding, the Icelandic strongman who became the Mountain, the Monty Python easter egg hidden in the Meereen champion's insults, Diocletian's Palace, the 136-day shoot and the IMAX run for the final two episodes. Easy questions stick to the big deaths and the main cast; the expert tier asks about Martin's original draft, Bryan Cogman's cameo and which episode won which Emmy. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss.
