50 free Yakuza: Like a Dragon trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon swapped the series' long-serving lead for Ichiban Kasuga, a big-hearted ex-convict with an overactive imagination, and rebuilt the fighting around a party of misfits. It also packed its city with some of the strangest side activities in gaming, which is why so many players go looking for its minigames. This quiz covers both halves of the game. Expect questions on kart racing, can collecting, the cinema, karaoke, the arcades, the vocational school and the business management mode, alongside the party members, the twists of the main story, the voice cast and the decisions behind the game's reinvention. It is pitched at anyone who has finished the story, with a few harder questions for players who chased every side activity. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so even a wrong guess leaves you with something new.
