42 free Dead by Daylight trivia questions with answers. Dead by Daylight has been running trials in the Fog since June 2016, and with 70 million players it calls itself the most played horror game in history. This DBD trivia quiz covers the whole thing: the one-versus-four rules, generators and exit gates, hook stages, perks, hexes and boons, the Bloodweb, and the lore of the Entity and its campfire. There are questions on the original killers and survivors, the licensed chapters that made the game a hall of fame of horror, from The Shape and Laurie Strode in 2016 through Freddy, Pyramid Head, the Nemesis, Sadako, the Xenomorph, Chucky, Dracula and Springtrap, and the chapters that were pulled: Stranger Things, Hellraiser and Halloween. There are also questions on the 2v8 and Lights Out modes, the mobile version, the dating sim, the board game, the comics and the Blumhouse film. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's Dead by Daylight article and its DLC table. Warm-ups on the basic rules come first; the questions about the Deathslinger's map and the Nicolas Cage chapter are for players with a P100.

Q 01Which Canadian studio developed and publishes Dead by Daylight?
Behaviour Interactive
Behaviour Interactive, a Montreal studio founded in 1992, developed Dead by Daylight and has published the game itself since 2018.
Q 02How many Survivors face the Killer in a standard Dead by Daylight trial?
Four
Four Survivors face one Killer in a standard trial; the 2v8 mode, first playable in 2024, doubles both sides for ten-player lobbies on larger maps.
Q 03How many generators must Survivors repair to power the exit gates?
Five
Five of a map's seven generators must be repaired to power the exit gates; a lone last Survivor can instead escape through the hatch.
Q 04What do Killers sacrifice Survivors to in Dead by Daylight?
The Entity
The Entity feeds on Survivors' hope of escape, so even getting out of a trial only returns them to the campfire, where they wait to be hunted again.
Q 05Counting the final fatal one, how many times can a Survivor be hooked in a trial?
Three
Three hooks: the first offers an escape chance, the second is a struggle phase of skill checks, and the third sacrifices the Survivor instantly.
Q 06What two-minute countdown begins when an exit gate is opened or the Killer closes the hatch?
The Endgame Collapse
The Endgame Collapse gives everyone two minutes to get out, though the timer slows while any Survivor is downed or hooked; when it runs out, everyone still inside is sacrificed.
Q 07What do Survivors hear when they are inside a Killer's terror radius?
A heartbeat
Inside the terror radius Survivors hear a heartbeat that grows faster and louder as the Killer closes in; Killers with the Undetectable status have no terror radius at all.
Q 08What can a Survivor drop in a chasing Killer's path to stun them and block the way?
A wooden pallet
A wooden pallet thrown down on a Killer stuns them briefly; most Killers must then break it or go around, while the Survivor can vault back over it.
Q 09Besides speeding up generator repairs, what else can a Survivor use a toolbox for?
Sabotaging hooks
Sabotaging hooks is the toolbox's second job: it puts a hook out of action for a short time, something that otherwise takes a perk.
Q 10What is the name of the skill tree where players spend currency to unlock perks, add-ons and items?
