64 free The Good Place trivia questions with answers. The Good Place packed four seasons of moral philosophy, cliffhangers and frozen-yogurt jokes into 53 episodes, and this quiz covers all of it. Expect questions on Eleanor's shopping-cart death, Jason's monk disguise, the statue that killed Tahani, Michael's 802 reboots, Janet's void, the accountants who had not admitted anyone in 521 years, the Interdimensional Hole of Pancakes, Doug Forcett, the new afterlife system and the door in the woods. Easy questions cover the cast and the big twist.
