50 free Hearthstone trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Hearthstone turned the heroes and villains of Warcraft into a fast, friendly card game, and more than a decade of expansions has filled it with characters, catchphrases and stories that players can recite from memory. It is also one of the few card games with its own world championship and a long history at BlizzCon. This quiz covers the whole game: famous Legendary minions and the lines they shout when played, classes, keywords and deck archetypes, expansions and adventures including Kobolds & Catacombs, the people who made the game, and the tournaments that crowned its champions. A handful of questions dig into single cards, such as Al'Akir the Windlord. It is written for anyone who has ever queued for a match, from players who remember the beta to those who only know the tavern from a friend's stream. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you can play straight through or print the questions for a game night.

Q 01Hearthstone's interactive boards, which players can poke between turns, were inspired by which film?
Jumanji
Jumanji, in which a board game comes to life, gave the designers the idea. The clickable scenery also mimics how card players fidget with their cards while waiting for an opponent.
Q 02Which Hearthstone Legendary, born from a World of Warcraft viral video, shouts his own name?
Leeroy Jenkins
Leeroy Jenkins charges in as recklessly as he does in the video: his Battlecry summons two 1/1 Whelps for the opponent. His dying words are the clip's punchline, 'At least I have chicken!'
Q 03Which Hearthstone mode, revealed at BlizzCon 2019, seats eight players in Bob's Tavern?
Battlegrounds
Battlegrounds swaps deck-building for an auto-battler: players buy minions each round and combat plays out by itself. Three matching minions fuse into one golden triple.
Q 04Marin the Fox's Hearthstone flavor text, ending 'Prepare to die', parodies a line from which film?
The Princess Bride
The Princess Bride is where Inigo Montoya vows 'You killed my father, prepare to die'. Every player was given Marin free a month before Kobolds & Catacombs launched.
Q 05In Hearthstone, the player going second gets which free spell worth one temporary Mana Crystal?
The Coin
The Coin won out after Blizzard tested other ways to offset the disadvantage of going second, including starting that player on 35 Health.
Q 06Which class, whose Hero Power costs just one mana, was the first new class added to Hearthstone?
Demon Hunter
Demon Hunter arrived with Ashes of Outland, six years after launch. Its Outcast cards gain bonus effects when played from the left or right edge of the hand.
Q 07Which Hearthstone Legendary cannot attack but deals 8 damage to a random enemy each turn?
Ragnaros the Firelord
Ragnaros the Firelord growls 'By fire be purged' on arrival and 'Die, insect!' with each blast. His card shows the original legless form, not the two-legged one from World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.
Q 08Which Warcraft sorceress is every new Hearthstone player's first hero, representing the Mage class?
Jaina Proudmoore
Jaina Proudmoore is every newcomer's starting hero, and she stars in the tutorial too. New players begin with only the Mage class and unlock the rest on the Apprentice Track.
Q 09Which Hearthstone penalty deals growing damage each time a player tries to draw from an empty deck?
Fatigue
Fatigue starts at 1 damage and rises by 1 with every failed draw, so even the slowest game has to end.
Q 10Which Hearthstone dragon destroys all other minions and discards its owner's hand when played?
Deathwing
Deathwing announces himself with 'I am power incarnate!', and his flavor text recalls that he was once a noble dragon named Neltharion.
Q 11Al'Akir the Windlord belongs to which Hearthstone class, represented by the orc hero Thrall?
Shaman
Shaman players summon Al'Akir to the cry 'Winds! Obey my command!', and his flavor text jokes that he is the weakest of the four Elemental Lords.
Q 12Al'Akir packs four keywords onto one Hearthstone card: Charge, Divine Shield, Taunt and which other?
Windfury
Windfury lets Al'Akir attack twice each turn, and Charge lets him do it the moment he lands. Until a 2017 patch reordered the card text, this keyword was listed first.
Q 13Al'Akir was called one of Hearthstone's worst Legendaries until data showed he had the highest what?
Win rate
Win rate figures saved Al'Akir from a planned buff to 3/7. It was the first time the developers used hard data to settle a balance argument.
Q 21In Hearthstone, destroying unwanted cards yields which material used to craft new ones?
Arcane Dust
Arcane Dust prices climb steeply with rarity: a regular Legendary costs 1,600 to craft and a golden copy 3,200.
Q 22Which gem colour marks a Hearthstone Legendary, a scheme borrowed from World of Warcraft's loot?
Orange
Orange marks the top tier, above purple Epics and blue Rares. A deck may hold only one copy of any Legendary.
Q 23Which Hearthstone class has the Hero Power Life Tap, which draws a card at the cost of 2 damage?
Warlock
Warlock decks treat their own Health as a resource, an idea taken from World of Warcraft, where Life Tap trades health for mana.
Q 14Which Hearthstone Legendary from the League of Explorers shouts 'We're gonna be rich!' when played?
Reno Jackson
Reno Jackson fully heals your hero if your deck has no duplicate cards, a condition that inspired a whole family of one-of-each decks.
Q 15Which Hearthstone minion yells 'Everyone, get in here!' and summons another after surviving damage?
Grim Patron
Grim Patron powered Patron Warrior, one of the strongest decks after Blackrock Mountain's release, and the innkeeper later adopted a version of the line as a greeting.
Q 16Which Hearthstone Paladin Legendary has a Deathrattle that equips his owner with a 5/3 Ashbringer?
Tirion Fordring
Tirion Fordring enters to the words 'Put your faith in the Light!', protected by both Divine Shield and Taunt.
Q 17Which Hearthstone minion, once ranger-general of Silvermoon, steals an enemy minion when she dies?
Sylvanas Windrunner
Sylvanas Windrunner was turned into the Banshee Queen by Arthas, and her flavor text adds that he probably should have just killed her, because it only made her angry.
Q 18Which Hearthstone Legendary casts one random spell for every spell its owner has cast that game?
Yogg-Saron
Yogg-Saron picks targets at random too, so the spells can hit friendly minions, either hero or the caster itself. The flavor text puns, 'I spell your doom'.
Q 19Which Hearthstone Legendary arrives with two 1/1 bots and later had an expansion built around him?
Dr. Boom
Dr. Boom slotted into almost every deck after his 2014 debut, and that popularity led to The Boomsday Project in 2018, set in his laboratory.
Q 20Which Hearthstone format, introduced beside Standard in 2016, allows every card ever released?
Wild
Wild keeps every retired card playable, while Standard is limited to the Core set and the expansions of the last two years.
Q 24Which Hearthstone keyword, introduced in League of Explorers, offers one of three cards to keep?
Discover
Discover was called 'Treasure' during development, and it was designed as a contrast to decks that simply draw lots of cards.
Q 25Which haunted adventure, the first in Hearthstone, was designed around the Deathrattle keyword?
Curse of Naxxramas
Curse of Naxxramas launched in July 2014 with 15 bosses, some of which deliberately broke the game's basic rules so they would feel unlike human opponents.
Q 26Which Hearthstone set, announced at BlizzCon 2014, was its first expansion and centred on Mechs?
Goblins vs Gnomes
Goblins vs Gnomes added 123 cards in December 2014, and its makers said the aim was to 'blow up the meta all at once'.
Q 27Which Hearthstone expansion gave every player C'Thun and one of its disciples for free?
Whispers of the Old Gods
Whispers of the Old Gods built its Lovecraftian theme around C'Thun, which other cards could strengthen wherever it was, even while it sat in the deck.
Q 28Hearthstone's Miracle Rogue borrows its name from 'Miracle Gro', a deck in which older card game?
Magic: The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering players built Miracle Gro around a creature much like Hearthstone's Questing Adventurer, and the Rogue version dates back to the beta.
Q 29One-of-each Hearthstone decks are nicknamed after which 'There can be only one' film franchise?
Highlander
Highlander cards are all Legendary, and their unusually powerful effects are balanced by the lower consistency of a deck with no duplicates.
Q 30Which roguelike Hearthstone mode, added with Kobolds & Catacombs, pits players against eight bosses?
Dungeon Run
Dungeon Run draws its bosses from a pool of 48 and hands out treasure cards found nowhere else. One defeat ends the attempt and the player has to start again.
