This Avatar: The Last Airbender trivia quiz runs 129 free questions with answers from easy to genuinely hard. The first stretch covers what any fan of the series knows: the four nations, Aang's friends, Zuko's scar and Appa. The middle asks about episodes and lore. The hard block reaches for the details that separate a rewatcher from a casual viewer: the Foggy Swamp waterbender, Ty Lee's circus, Toph's earthbending teacher, Combustion Man's earlier nickname, the Fire Nation colony in The Promise comic and the exact episode count. It works for a watch-party round, a fan-club night or a solo attempt at a perfect score. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia and the Avatar Wiki, and each question shows its source once you have answered.
