68 free Stardew Valley trivia questions with answers — technology quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
56 free Stardew Valley trivia questions with answers. Stardew Valley has sold more than 50 million copies, and this quiz is for the people who have sunk hundreds of hours into it. It covers Pelican Town and its residents (who lives above the clinic, who dreams of a chicken farm, who is secretly not called Sandy), the twelve marriage candidates and how to propose, the Community Center and Joja, the festivals of each season, the Mines and Skull Cavern, Ginger Island and Mr. Qi, plus the story of how Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone built the whole thing alone. The questions start easy enough for anyone who has finished a first year and climb to details only long-time players know: the Sprout Valley working title, what a Stardrop actually does to your energy bar, which farm map comes with chickens, and the war Krobus still holds against the Dwarf. Difficulty is marked on every question. Every answer has been checked against the official Stardew Valley Wiki or the Wikipedia article on the game, and each question shows its citation.
