125 free White Collar trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This is the definitive White Collar trivia quiz: 125 questions on the USA Network caper series that ran from 2009 to 2014, from Neal Caffrey's prison break in the pilot to the bottle of wine that closes "Au Revoir". The easy questions are for anyone who watched casually: what Neal wears on his ankle, what Mozzie calls Peter, the name of the Burkes' dog, and which insurance company Sara Ellis works for. The middle of the quiz works through the season arcs in order: Kate and the man with the ring, the music box and its hidden code, Vincent Adler and the U-boat treasure, Matthew Keller kidnapping Elizabeth, Neal's father James and Senator Pratt, the Dutchman and Rebecca Lowe, and finally the Pink Panthers. The hardest questions are for the fans who remember Mozzie's real name, where the treasure evidence was hidden, who directed which episode and what the FBI agents' backstories were. Every answer was checked against encyclopaedia entries for the series, its characters and its episode guide before publishing, and the supporting sentence is stored with each question.
