40 free Monster Hunter Stories trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Monster Hunter Stories turned Capcom's hunting series inside out. Instead of tracking monsters down, you play a Rider who hatches them from eggs, raises them as partners called Monsties and fights beside them in turn-based battles. Three games and an anime series later, the spin-off has a world, a cast and a rulebook of its own. This quiz covers all of it. There are questions on the story of each game, from the first adventure through Wings of Ruin to Twisted Reflection, and on the friends, rivals and villains you meet along the way. Others test how the battle system works, which monsters do what, and how the games were made, sold and received. A handful are about Ride On, the anime adaptation. It is written for players who have finished at least one of the games, and for mainline Monster Hunter fans curious about how much of the spin-off they have picked up. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so a wrong guess still teaches you something for your next playthrough.
