49 free Money Heist trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Money Heist was nearly a one-off. Álex Pina wrote La casa de papel as a two-part limited series for Antena 3, ratings slipped, and the story ended with the robbers on a beach in Palawan. Then Netflix re-cut it into 22 episodes, released it with no promotion and watched it become the most-watched non-English series on the platform, ahead of Stranger Things in the US by April 2018. Three more parts, a documentary, a Korean remake and a Berlin spin-off followed. These 49 questions cover the robbers and the people who built them: the Professor and Álvaro Morte, Tokyo as narrator, Berlin and Pedro Alonso, Nairobi, Denver's laugh, Moscow, Raquel Murillo and Lisbon, Palermo, Sierra and Gandía. Production questions take in the Dalí masks, the red jumpsuits and the forbidden colours, Bella Ciao, the CSIC building that played the Mint, the Panama island and the International Emmy. Easy questions stick to the main gang; the expert tier asks about writers, directors and filming locations. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss. Play it solo or print it for a Netflix quiz night.
