50 free Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom trivia quiz covers J. A. Bayona's 2018 sequel, the fifth film in the Jurassic Park series and the one that took the dinosaurs off the island for good. The plot questions run from the Mosasaurus in the lagoon and Ian Malcolm's Senate testimony through the eruption of Isla Nublar, the transfusion that saves Blue, the black-market auction under the Lockwood estate, the Indoraptor loose in the mansion and Maisie's decision to open the doors. The harder half covers how it was made: why Bayona was hired and what he was pitched, the working title used to keep casting secret, the 2,500 girls auditioned for Maisie, the Pinewood sets and Hawaiian beaches, the cat litter set on fire to stand in for lava, the Nosferatu inspiration for the Indoraptor, the record number of animatronics, the Trump jokes, the deleted scenes and the box office that took it past $1.3 billion. Easy questions suit anyone who has seen it once; the expert ones will test franchise devotees. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing. For the rest of the series, try our Jurassic Park quiz.

Q 01Which actor returns as geneticist Dr. Henry Wu, a role he has played since the original Jurassic Park?
BD Wong
Wong says Wu is driven by love of science and his own ego, and turns a blind eye to the human cost.
Q 02Fallen Kingdom is which numbered film in the overall Jurassic Park franchise?
Fifth
It is the second of the Jurassic World trilogy, between Jurassic World (2015) and Dominion (2022).
Q 03Which creature devours the mercenaries' submersible in the lagoon during the opening sequence?
The Mosasaurus
It then swims out through the open underwater gates into the ocean, which is why it is surfing with a great white in the ending.
Q 04What are the mercenaries collecting in the opening scene?
DNA from the Indominus rex's remains
Dr. Wu needs it to build the Indoraptor, and Mills dies trying to escape with the bone at the end.
Q 05What threatens to wipe out the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar?
A volcanic eruption
The volcano is in Michael Crichton's original novel; the writers pulled it into the film to burn the island down like 'a church or a temple'.
Q 06What does Dr. Ian Malcolm tell the Senate committee should happen to the dinosaurs?
Let them die naturally
Trevorrow wrote him as an Al Gore figure: bearded, and saying 'I told you so'.
Q 07What is the name of the organisation Claire Dearing founds to save the dinosaurs?
Dinosaur Protection Group
Universal built a real website for the group as marketing, complete with videos of Claire, Zia and Franklin.
Q 08Who is Sir Benjamin Lockwood?
John Hammond's former partner in cloning dinosaurs
He is not in Crichton's novel, but the book convinced Trevorrow that Hammond must have had a silent partner; James Cromwell plays him.
Q 09Which dinosaur is Owen recruited specifically to find?
Blue, the last Velociraptor
Wu wants her DNA to build a more obedient Indoraptor, unaware her blood has been mixed with a T. rex's.
Q 10Who plays Zia Rodriguez, the paleo-veterinarian?
Daniella Pineda
She auditioned seven times; a scene revealing the character was a lesbian was cut for time.
Q 11Who plays Franklin Webb, the easily frightened systems analyst?
Justice Smith
Bayona blasted loud music and unexpected sound effects on set to make him genuinely jump.
Q 12Which Jurassic World character was considered for a return but replaced by Franklin?
Lowery, the control-room tech
Jake Johnson pitched a traumatised Lowery with a ponytail and sleeve tattoos; Trevorrow felt he was too cynical for the activists' story.
Q 13Who leads the mercenary team on Isla Nublar and shoots Blue?
Ken Wheatley
Ted Levine built him as 'the most hateable character possible' and later gets his tooth-collecting hobby turned against him.
Q 21Which dinosaur does Owen use to break out of his cell and then wreck the auction?
A Stygimoloch
It was one of several species new to the series, along with Allosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus and Sinoceratops.
Q 22Who plays Mr. Eversoll, the auctioneer?
Toby Jones
He chose his own look, including a wig styled like Donald Trump's hair.
Q 23Which story element came from Steven Spielberg?
The concept of weaponised dinosaurs
The idea had also been in a rejected 2004 draft for Jurassic Park IV, along with the return-to-the-island-then-Gothic-mansion structure.
Q 14Whose blood is transfused into Blue aboard the ship to save her life?
The Tyrannosaurus's
Bayona added the sequence to liven up the boat scenes; it also means Blue's DNA is useless to Dr. Wu.
Q 15What is the name of the ship that carries the captured dinosaurs off the island?
The Arcadia
Its exterior was entirely computer-generated by ILM; the interior was a huge Pinewood set later rebuilt as the mansion's rooftop.
Q 16Where are the dinosaurs really taken instead of a sanctuary island?
Lockwood's estate in Northern California
The mansion exterior was Cragside in Northumberland, England, combined with a set built on Hawley Common in Hampshire.
Q 17What is the Indoraptor a hybrid of?
Indominus rex and Velociraptor DNA
Bayona wanted it black so that in the dark you see only eyes and teeth; its front teeth and claws were inspired by a silent-film vampire.
Q 18Who is revealed to be a clone?
Maisie, Lockwood's granddaughter
She was cloned from Lockwood's dead daughter, the secret that ended his partnership with Hammond; Trevorrow was nervous about how audiences would take it.
Q 19Who plays Lockwood's granddaughter, in her film debut?
Isabella Sermon
Around 2,500 girls were interviewed for the part of the nine-year-old.

Smothers him with a pillow
Rafe Spall's Mills insists he is only doing what he was asked: keeping the Lockwood fortune alive after its owner dies.

Impaled on a ceratopsid skull
Blue and the hybrid crash through the roof together; only Blue walks away.
Q 25Who opens the final door that releases the dinosaurs into the world?
Maisie
She reasons that they, like her, have a right to live; Owen had just talked Claire out of it.

Hydrogen cyanide
It leaks after the Indoraptor's rampage wrecks the underground facility.
Q 27Who is eaten by Rexy while trying to escape with the Indominus bone?
Eli Mills
Trevorrow said every death in the film was 'earned', after criticism of Zara's gratuitous death in Jurassic World.
Q 28Where is the post-credits scene set?
The Paris Las Vegas resort
Escaped Pteranodons perch on the resort's replica Eiffel Tower; the scene was cut for length and then restored as a tag.

Ancient Futures
In auditions, dinosaurs were swapped for lions and grizzly bears in the sides.
Q 30Which two Bayona films did Trevorrow mash up to describe Fallen Kingdom?
The Impossible meets The Orphanage
Bayona was sold on the job when told the second half would play like a haunted-house film.
