This Guardians of the Galaxy trivia quiz has 117 free questions with answers and covers the whole MCU run: the 2014 original, Vol. 2, Vol. 3 and the Holiday Special. Expect questions on the cast (who voices Rocket, who plays Yondu, who was cast over Zoom), the plots (Morag, the Kyln, the Sovereign, Orgocorp, Counter-Earth) and the numbers, from opening-weekend records to the Oscar nominations. Music gets its own share, because no Marvel franchise leans on a mixtape like this one: which song actually opens the first film, which Awesome Mix track appears only in the trailer, the chart record the soundtrack set, and the Radiohead and Florence songs that bookend Vol. 3. There is also a comics round on the 1969 team, the Abnett and Lanning reboot, the Beatles song behind Rocket's name and the tree monster Groot started out as. Easy questions are fine for anyone who has seen the films once; the hard ones are for people who stay through every credits scene. Every answer has been checked against an encyclopaedic source and each question shows its citation once you have answered.
