97 free Tokyo Ghoul trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Tokyo Ghoul starts with a bad date. A bookish college freshman is nearly eaten, survives a construction accident, and wakes up with a ghoul's organs inside him and a hunger nothing on a menu can satisfy. Sui Ishida's manga turned that premise into one of the best-selling series of all time, and the anime's opening theme is still instantly recognisable a decade on. These 97 questions cover the whole franchise: Ken Kaneki's transformation and the café that takes him in, Touka Kirishima, the CCG investigators and the weapons they forge from the ghouls they kill, the red eye and the kagune, Aogiri Tree and its executives, the :re sequel and its new investigators, the anime seasons, and the live-action films. Every answer comes with a one-line explanation that adds something the episode left out. Play it to find out whether you were paying attention past the first season, or print it for an anime-night round.
