40 free Town of Salem trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Town of Salem turns the party game Mafia into an online battle of bluffing, where up to fifteen strangers each get a secret role and nobody knows whom to trust. Winning takes more than a good lie: you need to know exactly what every role can and cannot do. This quiz covers the roles above all: Town investigators and protectors, Mafia deceivers, lone Neutral threats and the Coven. Expect questions on who can do what at night, which roles turn into other roles, how a trial works, and how the game itself came to be. It suits anyone from a new player learning the role list to a ranked regular who claims to know every ability. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so a miss still teaches you something for the next match.
