50 free Imagine Dragons trivia questions with answers — music quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Imagine Dragons trivia quiz covers the Las Vegas band from Dan Reynolds's college demos to Loom. The easy questions cover the line-up, the albums and the biggest hits: It's Time, Radioactive, Demons, Believer, Thunder, Whatever It Takes, Natural and Enemy. The harder ones dig into the Brigham Young University origins, the Provo years, the Bite of Las Vegas break when Train's singer fell ill, producer Alex da Kid, the Palms recording sessions, the Kendrick Lamar Grammy medley, the League of Legends and Arcane songs, the Nintendo Switch Super Bowl ad, the esports team they co-own and Daniel Platzman's departure. It also covers the numbers: the 87 weeks Radioactive spent on the Hot 100, the four Diamond-certified songs, the streaming records, the Billboard and Grammy awards, the mixed Metacritic scores and the Corey Taylor and Matty Healy jibes. Questions are about the songs and their history, never their lyrics. Every answer was checked against the encyclopaedia entry before publishing.
