40 free Slime Rancher trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Slime Rancher turned a simple loop of catching, feeding and corralling wobbly alien creatures into one of the best-loved indie games of the last decade. Beneath the bright colors sits a surprisingly deep world: a market with shifting prices, hybrid slimes that can go badly wrong, and a plot told through notes and letters. This quiz covers the slimes and what they eat, the zones and ranch expansions, the tools and upgrades that keep a ranch running, and the other ranchers you trade with. A few questions step outside the game to its developers, its release and its sequel. It is written for anyone who has spent an evening vacuuming up plorts, from newcomers on their opening days to veterans who have watched the credits roll.
