This South Park trivia quiz has 126 free questions with answers and runs from 1997's paper-cutout pilot to the streaming-era specials. The easy tier covers the four boys, Butters and Professor Chaos, Mr. Hankey, Chef, Randy's many careers, Terrance and Phillip and the origins of the show in two Spirit of Christmas shorts. Then it gets hard. The back stretch is built for people who have seen every season: who Cartman's real father turned out to be, what the Sword of a Thousand Truths was stored on, which group threatened Parker and Stone over the Muhammad episodes, why Kenny keeps coming back, and which cartoon characters share Randy's Chinese prison cell. Every answer is checked against the episode articles and production histories, so you can argue about the results with confidence.
