50 free The World Ends with You trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
The World Ends with You dropped a sullen teenager into a crowded Tokyo crossing with no idea how he got there and seven days to find out. Its mix of street fashion, a genre-hopping soundtrack and battles that ask the player to watch two fights at once made it one of the most distinctive handheld role-playing games of its era, and a cult favourite that fans shorten to TWEWY. This quiz covers the whole series: Neku and the partners he learns to trust, the Reapers and Game Masters who stand in their way, and the rules of the contest they are all trapped in. It also covers pins, trends and combat, the real places behind the game's version of the city, the people who made it, the extra chapter added in Final Remix, the anime, and the story of Neo. It suits anyone who has finished the first game, with harder questions later for players who cleared every bonus day and read every hidden file. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so a miss still teaches something, and the questions can be printed for a game night.
