50 free Guild Wars 2 trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Guild Wars 2 has been running since 2012 without a subscription fee, and it has kept growing ever since. Players have fought their way from the starter zones of Tyria through a long war against the Elder Dragons, alongside a cast of charr, asura, norn, sylvari and humans that fans know as well as any in the genre. This quiz covers the whole game: the races and their capitals, the professions, the story from the first campaign through the expansions, festivals, legendary weapons, open-world bosses and the people who made it. A good share of the questions go to Destiny's Edge, the broken band of heroes at the heart of the original story, so expect Caithe, Rytlock, Logan and Zojja to turn up often. It is pitched for anyone who has played through the story once, with easier questions to open and deeper lore later for veterans. Every answer comes with a short explanation, and the questions can be printed for a guild quiz night.
