40 free Daddy's Home trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Daddy's Home turned a simple idea into one of Will Ferrell's biggest hits: a gentle, rule-following stepdad finally wins over his wife's kids, and then their effortlessly cool biological father rolls back into town. Ferrell's Brad and Mark Wahlberg's Dusty spend the film trying to out-parent each other, and the one-upmanship gets more expensive, more painful and more public with every scene. This quiz covers both the 2015 original and its 2017 holiday sequel, in which the two dads have to cope with their own fathers. Expect questions on the plot and its best set pieces, the supporting cast and surprise cameos, where the films were shot, how they fared at the box office and who nearly starred instead. The early questions suit anyone who has watched the films once with the family; later ones are for fans who know the cast list and the stories from the set. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you will pick up something new even when you guess.
