50 free Game of Thrones Season 7 trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Season 7 of Game of Thrones ran just seven episodes between July and August 2017, and nearly every one of them ended with something the show had never done before: Arya wearing Walder Frey's face, a dragon wounded by a scorpion bolt, a record 73 stunt performers set on fire, the Night King's ice javelin, and finally the Wall itself coming down. This quiz covers the whole season: the plot beats at Dragonstone, Winterfell, King's Landing and beyond the Wall; the reunions (Hot Pie, Gendry, Nymeria, the Stark siblings); the exits (Olenna Tyrell, Thoros, Benjen, Littlefinger); the cameos by Ed Sheeran and a Mets pitcher; and the production trivia, from the $1.1 million-per-episode salaries and the 81-minute finale to the Spanish islet that became Dragonstone and the record-breaking trailer and piracy numbers. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play in sets of ten or print it for a watch-party quiz.
