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.

Q 01Season 7 premiered late, in July, because its makers waited for what?
Winter weather
Winter weather. With winter finally arriving in the story, Benioff and Weiss said sunny skies no longer suited the show, so they pushed the whole shoot back to catch grim skies even at their sunniest locations.
Q 02Why did season 7 run to only seven episodes, not ten?
Production time
Production time. Benioff and Weiss said they could no longer finish ten episodes in the usual 12 to 14 months, with Weiss likening the shoot to a mid-range movie's schedule.
Q 03Moments before she dies in season 7, Olenna Tyrell tells Jaime she was behind the death of which king?
Joffrey Baratheon
Joffrey Baratheon. Jaime let her drink a painless poison instead of facing the public execution Cersei wanted, and only then did Olenna admit the murder and ask him to tell his sister.
Q 04Which Thor: The Dark World director returned for season 7's sixth episode after an absence since season 2?
Alan Taylor
Alan Taylor. He directed Ned Stark's execution in season 1, then left for two Hollywood blockbusters that he later said cost him his will to direct.
Q 05Which director, later of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, handled season 7's Loot Train Attack episode?
Matt Shakman
Matt Shakman. He was best known for the comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a favourite of Benioff and Weiss, who had once written an episode of it themselves.
Q 06Season 7's finale confirms that Daenerys, Jon Snow's new lover, is also what relation to him?
His aunt
His aunt. Bran and Sam work out that Jon is the lawful son of her eldest brother Rhaegar, at the very moment the pair fall into bed together aboard ship.
Q 07San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, a Spanish islet with a long winding staircase, became which Westeros castle in season 7?
Dragonstone
Dragonstone. The staircase Daenerys climbs on her homecoming is real: the episode's director said it looks like a computer creation, but the crew shot it on location.
Q 08Arya's reunion with her direwolf in season 7 was filmed in which country?
Canada
Canada. The scene was shot in Alberta, and a local film-industry chief said the producers came because the province has the biggest wolves in the world.
Q 09Jim Broadbent joined season 7 as which teacher of Sam's at the Citadel?
Archmaester Ebrose
Archmaester Ebrose. He accepts that the White Walkers are real but trusts the Wall to hold them back, so he keeps the restricted books locked away and Sam ends up stealing them.
Q 10Tom Hopper replaced Freddie Stroma in which role for season 7?
Dickon Tarly
Dickon Tarly. Stroma, who played Sam's younger brother for one episode in season 6, had since been cast as H. G. Wells in ABC's Time After Time, a likely scheduling clash.
Q 11Which musician cameoed as a singing Lannister soldier in season 7's premiere?
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran. Benioff said they had tried for years to book him as a surprise for Maisie Williams, a fan, and it is her character who stumbles on his singing soldier.
Q 12Which New York Mets pitcher, nicknamed 'Thor', cameoed as a spear-throwing Lannister soldier in season 7?
Noah Syndergaard
Noah Syndergaard. When the episode aired he had not pitched since April because of a torn muscle, and he called his few seconds in the battle a dream come true.
Q 13Whom does Arya spar with on her return to Winterfell in season 7?
Brienne
Brienne. Arya asks her for a training bout and proves every bit her match, while Arya's sister looks on, uneasy at how dangerous she has become.
Q 21What is the name of the direwolf Arya encounters leading a wolfpack in season 7?
Nymeria
Nymeria. The wolf turns away instead of following her home, and Arya's 'That's not you' echoes her own answer in season 1 when her father pictured her as a lady: 'That's not me.'
Q 22Who leaps overboard instead of fighting when Euron attacks Yara's fleet in season 7?
Theon
Theon. With his uncle holding Yara captive in front of him, he freezes, jumps, and ends the episode clinging to driftwood among the burning wrecks.
Q 23Whom does Jon name regent of Winterfell before sailing south in season 7?
Sansa
Sansa. The choice visibly surprises her, and before leaving Jon takes Littlefinger by the throat and warns him to keep away from her.
Q 14Which season 7 episode is the shortest in the whole series at 49 minutes?
The Spoils of War
Short but explosive: it ends with the Loot Train Attack and Drogon meeting a scorpion bolt.
Q 15Who composed the music for season 7?
Ramin Djawadi
Ramin Djawadi. Benioff and Weiss wanted the show to sound unlike other fantasy, so he was told at the start to avoid flutes; his score for this season's finale won him an Emmy.
Q 16Which cast member won the 2018 Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama for season 7?
Peter Dinklage
Peter Dinklage. His third Emmy as Tyrion came at the expense of his screen brother, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who was nominated beside him in the same category for playing Jaime.
Q 17Which adviser does Daenerys warn in season 7 that she will burn him alive if he ever betrays her?
Varys
Varys. She challenges him over the rulers he has abandoned, he answers that his loyalty is to the people, and she forgives him on condition that he is always honest with her.
Q 18Season 7's fourth episode leaked early from which HBO international partner?
Star India
Star India. The copy still carried a 'for internal viewing only' watermark, and within two weeks four people had been arrested over the leak.
Q 19Whose face is Arya wearing in season 7's cold open?
Walder Frey
Walder Frey. In his face she hosts a feast for every man of his house and toasts them with poisoned wine, wiping out the family that staged the Red Wedding.
Q 20Which old friend does Arya meet at an inn in 'Stormborn', last seen in season 4?
Hot Pie
Hot Pie. He tells her that Jon has retaken Winterfell, and on that news she gives up her ride south to kill Cersei and turns for home.
Q 24Whom does Sam cure of greyscale with a forbidden treatment in season 7?
Jorah Mormont
Jorah Mormont. Sam risks the banned procedure out of loyalty to Jorah's father, his old Lord Commander, and actor Iain Glen spent about five hours in make-up for the scene.
Q 25In season 7, Cersei poisons Tyene Sand with the same poison Ellaria used to kill whom?
Myrcella
Myrcella. Cersei delivers it the same way, with a kiss, then leaves Ellaria chained in the cell to watch her own daughter die.
Q 26Which Sherlock actor returned in season 7 as the Iron Bank's envoy, Tycho Nestoris?
Mark Gatiss
Mark Gatiss. His banker arrives to call in the crown's debts, and Cersei settles them with the gold her army has just seized from Highgarden.
Q 27Which stronghold do the Unsullied capture in season 7 through sewers Tyrion designed?
Casterly Rock
Casterly Rock. It was a trap: Jaime had left only a small garrison and marched his army off to seize Highgarden, while Euron's fleet burned the Unsullied's ships behind them.
Q 28Which actress played Olenna Tyrell, bowing out in 'The Queen's Justice'?
Diana Rigg
Diana Rigg. Her Queen of Thorns goes out sparring: with her castle fallen, she drinks the painless poison Jaime offers and uses her last minutes to needle him about his sister.
Q 29What object does Littlefinger give Bran at Winterfell in season 7?
a Valyrian steel dagger
A Valyrian steel dagger. It is the blade a hired killer brought to Bran's bedside in season 1, and Bran hands it straight on to Arya, who ends up cutting Littlefinger's throat with it.
Q 30Which of Littlefinger's own sayings does Bran unsettlingly repeat back to him in season 7?
Chaos is a ladder
Chaos is a ladder. Littlefinger had said it in a private conversation years earlier, so hearing it from a boy who was nowhere near shows him that Bran can see his past.
