This Twilight quiz has 130 free questions with answers and starts gently, with the questions any fan can answer about Bella, Edward, Jacob and Forks, then turns properly hard: the birth years and hometowns of every Cullen, the literary classic behind each novel, the dream that started it all, the $750,000 book deal, the actor Stephenie Meyer wanted for Edward before Robert Pattinson, the recast Victoria, the Italian town that stood in for Volterra and the composers behind each film's score. It covers all four novels, the novella and the two retellings, plus the five Twilight Saga movies from Catherine Hardwicke's original to Bill Condon's two-part Breaking Dawn. Play it as a fan, or use the hard half to settle who really knows the saga. Every answer has been checked against a primary source, mostly Wikipedia's Twilight articles, and each question shows its citation.
