50 free Hitman trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Hitman has been sending a bald, sharply dressed assassin around the globe since 2000. Agent 47 is a clone built to kill, and the games reward patience over firepower: study a routine, slip past the guards in disguise, arrange an accident and leave before anyone notices. This quiz covers the whole series. There are questions on Codename 47, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money and Absolution, on the modern trilogy and its celebrity guest stars, on the studio and the people behind the games, and on the two films and the novels Enemy Within and Damnation. It is pitched at players who know their way around a sandbox level, but plenty of the questions can be reasoned out by anyone who has seen the films or picked up a controller once. Every answer comes with a short explanation.
