163 free Wizard101 trivia questions with answers — technology quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
52 free Wizard101 trivia questions with answers. Wizard101 has been running since 2008, and seventeen years of story arcs, side worlds and lore drops add up to a lot to remember. This W101 trivia quiz covers the whole Spiral: the seven schools and who teaches them, Malistaire's hunt for the Krokonomicon, Morganthe and the fall of Azteca, Grandfather Spider and Grandmother Raven, the Nothing that became Dasein, and the newest world, Darkmoor. There are also questions on the studio itself: who founded KingsIsle, the Nick Jonas soundtrack, the console launch, and the chat rules every under-13 remembers. The early questions are for anyone who has finished Wizard City. The later ones assume you have graduated to the Arcanum and read a few Wiki101 lore pages. Note that this is a fan quiz built by BrainPickle, not the official in-site trivia that KingsIsle runs for Crowns. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia, KingsIsle's own material or the Wiki101 fan encyclopedia, and each question shows its source once you have answered, so arguments in the Commons can be settled on the spot.
