124 free Dark (Netflix) trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
This Dark trivia quiz covers all three seasons of the German Netflix series that ran from 2017 to 2020, the mind-bending time-travel story of four families in the small town of Winden. The easy questions are ones anyone who finished it will know: the town, the caves under the nuclear power plant, the boy who vanishes into 1986, the 33-year cycle and the leader of Sic Mundus. From there it gets harder: which characters are secretly which other characters, who fathered whom across the loops, the years each storyline is set in, the German episode titles, the White Devil, Erit Lux, the God Particle, the Unknown, the origin world and what happens at the dinner party in the final scene. There are production questions too, on creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, the Apparat theme song, composer Ben Frost, where in Brandenburg the show was filmed, the awards it won and the follow-up series 1899. Every answer was checked against the encyclopaedia entries for the series, its characters, its creators and its cast before publishing, and the supporting sentence is stored with each question. If you enjoy this one, try our Stranger Things and Twin Peaks quizzes next.
