100 free Once Upon a Time trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Once Upon a Time ran for seven seasons on ABC, dropping fairy-tale characters into a cursed New England town and then sending them to Neverland, Oz, Arendelle, Camelot, the Underworld and a very different city for its final year. This quiz covers the whole run: the record-breaking pilot, the Boston loner who turned out to be the Savior, the woman with the poisoned apple turnovers, the pawnbroker who was really something far older, the pirate who joined the family, the witch with a surprising family tree and the soft-reboot seventh season in Hyperion Heights. Easy questions ask who plays Emma and where the town is; harder ones want the name of the Canadian village that doubled for Storybrooke, the two Lost writers who created the show, which co-stars married in real life and who Rumplestiltskin's father turns out to be. It suits a rewatch, a fan-group night or a family that argued about the finale. Every answer has been checked against the Wikipedia articles on the series, its characters and individual episodes, and each question shows its source once you have answered.
