40 free Love, Simon trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Love, Simon arrived in 2018 as something Hollywood had not really made before: a glossy, big-hearted high school romantic comedy from a major studio with a gay teenager at its centre. Simon Spier has a loving family, loyal friends and one secret, and an anonymous email exchange with a classmate known only as Blue turns that secret into a mystery, a blackmail plot and, eventually, a very public declaration. This quiz covers the whole story: who knew what and when, the suspects Simon considers along the way, the cast and the people behind the camera, the songs on the soundtrack, the reviews and awards, the novel the film is based on and the television spin-off that followed. It is written for anyone who has watched the film more than once, read the book first, or wants a movie-night quiz with answers and explanations. The early questions are gentle; the later ones reward fans who stayed for the credits.
