50 free Persona 4 trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Persona 4 turned a quiet country town into one of gaming's best-loved murder mysteries. By day you go to class, work part-time jobs and make friends; after school you step through a television screen to rescue the next victim before time runs out. Persona 4 Golden later added new characters, new story chapters and an extra ending, and it is the version most players know today. This quiz covers the whole case: the Investigation Team and their Personas, the suspects and the real culprit, Social Links and Arcana, the Velvet Room, the soundtrack, the voice cast, and how Atlus made and localised the game. It also touches the spin-offs, the anime and Golden's own in-game quiz show, hosted by Teddie. The early questions suit anyone who has finished the story once, and the later ones reward fans who maxed every Social Link or chased the Golden ending. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so it also doubles as a refresher before a replay. Spoilers are everywhere, so finish the game first.
