This Smite trivia quiz has 50 free questions with answers about Hi-Rez's third-person MOBA, from its 2011 PAX East reveal and 2012 closed beta to Smite 2 going free-to-play in 2025. It covers the game itself (Conquest, Joust, Assault, Arena and Slash, the titan and the phoenixes, the five classes, ranked entry rules and TrueSkill matchmaking), the pantheons and the gods, including why one goddess was renamed and why another got a new outfit, and the esports story from the $2.6 million first Smite World Championship in Atlanta to the franchised Smite Pro League. It is written for people who have actually queued for a Conquest match, so most questions turn on things you would know from playing or watching: how many minutes before a surrender vote, what the Bull Demon King does, who won three world titles. A few history and business questions will stretch even long-time players. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and its cited sources before publishing. Play it, share your score, and see who on your team really knows the gods.

Conquest
The map layout follows Warcraft III's Defense of the Ancients.

Every 30 seconds
Towers prioritise minions over players, which is what lets you dive a tower behind your wave.

Assault
Once you leave the fountain you cannot buy again until you die.
