50 free A Minecraft Movie trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
A Minecraft Movie spent eleven years in development, burning through Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney and Peter Sollett before Jared Hess turned it into a live-action comedy in 2025 with Jack Black as Steve and Jason Momoa as a washed-up 80s arcade champion. It opened to $162.8 million, the biggest video game debut ever, and spawned the chicken jockey screenings that had teenagers throwing popcorn and, in one Utah cinema, hoisting a live chicken. These 50 questions cover the Chuglass story, the Nether and Malgosha, the cast from Emma Myers and Danielle Brooks to Jennifer Coolidge's vice principal, the New Zealand shoot, Mark Mothersbaugh's score and the record-breaking Steve's Lava Chicken, plus the abandoned versions, the Technoblade tribute and the 2027 sequel. Easy questions stick to Steve and the plot; the hard end asks about cameos, filming towns and the Atari Cosmos. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something when you miss. Play it solo or print it for a movie-night round.
