50 free Uncharted trivia questions with answers — technology quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Uncharted trivia quiz covers the whole Naughty Dog series and everything around it. It asks about the treasures and lost cities of each game, from El Dorado and Shambhala to Iram of the Pillars and Henry Avery's Libertalia, the villains, the locations the team researched on foot, and the voice cast who ad-libbed their way into the characters. There are questions on Uncharted: Golden Abyss on the Vita, The Lost Legacy without Drake, the Nathan Drake Collection, sales records and Game of the Year hauls. The last stretch turns to the 2022 film: Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, the directors who came and went, the Magellan treasure, and the Nathan Fillion fan film that got everyone talking. About a third of the questions are easy for anyone who has played the games, a third are medium, and the rest are for players who know which studio made Golden Abyss. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and the developer interviews it cites, and each question carries the sentence that establishes it. If you think one is wrong, use the report button and we will look again.
