50 free Descendants 2 trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Descendants 2 premiered on July 21, 2017, simulcast across six Disney-owned networks, and brought Mal back to the Isle of the Lost where her old rival Uma, Ursula's daughter, now runs the pirates with Harry Hook and Gil at her side. Kenny Ortega directed and choreographed again, the cast of the first film returned, and the soundtrack debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 behind the lead single and the gold-certified 'What's My Name'. This quiz covers the story (the blonde-hair spell, the arm wrestle, the 3D-printed wand, the Cotillion and the sea-monster-versus-dragon finish), the cast and casting (who was announced first, who did not return, which star voices Uma's mother), the production (budget, filming in British Columbia, the post-credits scene that was not in the script), the ratings and DVD numbers, the soundtrack chart positions, and the prequel novel Rise of the Isle of the Lost. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play through or print it out for a party.
