This Adventure Time trivia quiz has 205 free questions with answers and covers all ten seasons of Pendleton Ward's series (2010-2018) plus the Distant Lands specials and Fionna and Cake. It starts with the basics of the Land of Ooo, Finn's bear hat and Jake's stretchy powers, then digs into the lore: the Mushroom War, Simon Petrikov and the crown, Marceline's thousand years, Princess Bubblegum's Mother Gum, the Lich, GOLB, and the Gum War that ended the show. About a third of the questions are easy for anyone who has watched a few episodes, a third are medium, and the rest are for fans who know Jake's puppies by name and why Gunter is more dangerous than he looks. Voice-cast and production questions round it out. Every answer has been checked against a primary or encyclopaedic source, and each question links to the page that confirms it.

Q 02Which small creature waves at the viewer from the background of nearly every Adventure Time episode?

Q 03Which robot does Finn build to throw pies at Jake?

Q 06What grows from the stump after Finn loses his right arm in season six?
A flower

Q 09What name does BMO give the reflection it chats with in the mirror?

Antiquarian
Antiquarian Simon Petrikov put the crown on as a joke to amuse his fiancée; the visions it brought scared her away, and its power slowly wiped out the man he had been.
Q 12Which of the Ice King's organs comes to life as a villain voiced by George Takei?
His heart
His heart: a love spell aimed at Princess Bubblegum misfired, and the Ice King's own heart climbed out of his chest as Ricardio, leaving the wizard sickly until he got it back.
Q 13What kind of animal is James Baxter, who cheers up Ooo by balancing on a beach ball?
A horse
A horse, named after British animator James Baxter: at a talk in Ward's student days someone asked him to animate a horse on a beach ball, and years later he drew and voiced the character himself.
Q 21Princess Bubblegum looks 18, but roughly how many years old is she?
800
About 800 years: she grew from the Mother Gum centuries before the series, and her body's apparent age simply tracks how much candy biomass she has, which is how she ends up 13 for a while.
Q 22Which of Princess Bubblegum's creations founded a rival city and waged war on her in Adventure Time's finale?
Uncle Gumbald
Uncle Gumbald was made from gum to be her family, then plotted to turn her simple-minded with a 'happy juice'; she splashed it on him instead, and he spent centuries as a punch bowl.
Q 23Which actress, also the voice of Starfire in Teen Titans, voices Princess Bubblegum?
Hynden Walch
Q 14The Ice King's penguin companion Gunter is eventually revealed to be what?
A primordial space demon
A primordial space demon named Orgalorg, the penguin was squashed into its harmless shape when it was exiled to Earth for trying to absorb a comet's power; it tries again in the season six finale.
Q 15Which SpongeBob SquarePants voice actor plays the Ice King?
Tom Kenny
Tom Kenny voices the Ice King and, in squawks alone, his penguin Gunter too, so the pair's endless bickering is really one actor arguing with himself.
Q 16Roughly how old is the Vampire Queen of Ooo?
1,000 years
1,000 years is roughly how long Marceline has been around: she was a small child when the old world ended, and became a vampire only later, after years spent hunting them.
Q 17Instead of blood, what does the Vampire Queen feed on?
The colour red
The colour red is her diet: she drains it from strawberries and apples and leaves them grey.
Q 18The Vampire Queen's bass guitar was made from what family heirloom?
A battle-axe

Q 24Which language does Lady Rainicorn speak throughout Adventure Time?
Korean
Korean is all Lady Rainicorn speaks, so Finn rarely understands her and Jake translates; her English is heard only through a universal translator, which gives her a man's voice.
