70 free Genshin Impact trivia questions with answers — technology quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Sixty-six Genshin Impact trivia questions for players who have explored Teyvat from Mondstadt to Natlan. The quiz covers the seven nations and their real-world inspirations, the Archons and their vessels (Venti, Zhongli, the Raiden Shogun, Nahida, Furina, Mavuika), the Fatui Harbingers, fan favourites like Hu Tao, Kazuha, Itto and Fischl, and the game itself: Primogems and pity, Original Resin, the Zelda comparisons, the Ufotable anime, the record-breaking revenue and the FTC settlement. Questions start easy (who is the emergency food?) and climb to details only a lore hunter would know, like Kinich's talking Saurian or which Japanese rock singer voices Itto. Every question is marked with a difficulty score, so you can play casually or make it a real challenge for your co-op group. Every answer is checked against Wikipedia's Genshin Impact articles and each question links to its source, so if a patch has changed something you can see exactly what we relied on.
