50 free Jurassic World Dominion trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Jurassic World Dominion closed the second trilogy in 2022 by putting dinosaurs everywhere and then, oddly, making the villains giant locusts. This quiz covers the whole thing: the snowy Sierra Nevada cabin, Blue's hatchling Beta, the dinosaur black market in Valletta, the Biosyn preserve in the Dolomites, the frozen-lake plane crash, the Therizinosaurus in the mist, and the Giganotosaurus versus T. rex fight that ends it all. The opening questions are for anyone who saw it once: who returns from the original Jurassic Park, who plays Kayla Watts, which company Lewis Dodgson runs. Later ones dig into production: the working title, why Chris Pratt never set foot in Malta, the 112 sets built at Pinewood, the hotel Universal rented as a COVID bubble, the DARPA programme that inspired the locust plot, how much the film cost, and how it managed to gross a billion dollars with a 29% Rotten Tomatoes score. Every answer has been checked against production reporting and the film's own record, and each question links to its source. Our Jurassic Park trivia page covers the whole franchise; this one is for Dominion.
30 of 50 questions with answers and explanations. Play the quiz
Q 01Who directed Jurassic World Dominion?
Colin Trevorrow
He had directed the first Jurassic World, then handed Fallen Kingdom to Bayona and returned to finish the trilogy.
Q 02Which three original Jurassic Park stars appear together for the first time since 1993?
Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum
Trevorrow considered it Dern's film, since Ellie Sattler's locust investigation drives the plot.
Q 03How many years after Fallen Kingdom is Dominion set?
Four
Dinosaurs now roam and breed across the world, though Trevorrow insisted they should be as rare an encounter as a bear or a shark.
Q 04Biosyn CEO Lewis Dodgson had appeared briefly in which earlier film?
Jurassic Park (1993)
He was the man who handed Dennis Nedry the Barbasol can; Biosyn itself is prominent in Crichton's novels but had never been on screen before Dominion.
Q 05Where is Biosyn's dinosaur preserve located?
Italy's Dolomites
The real mountains were digitally scanned; Switzerland's Grande Dixence Dam stood in for Biosyn's frozen dam.
Q 06What does Maisie name the hatchling that Blue brings to the cabin?
Beta
Blue reproduced asexually, which is why Biosyn wants both Maisie and the baby raptor.
Q 07What plague are the giant genetically engineered insects devastating in the film?
US crops
Ellie notices that crops grown from Biosyn seed are left untouched, which is what starts her investigation.
Q 08Which real DARPA programme inspired the locust plot?
Insect Allies
Trevorrow consulted scientists to design an ecological crisis a paleobotanist would be first to notice.
Q 09Which Mediterranean island hosts the dinosaur black market?
Malta
The idea came from a list of pitches Bryce Dallas Howard kept during the earlier films; Trevorrow wanted 'a hive of scum and villainy'.
Q 10Which returning character now works for French Intelligence and leads the raid on the black market?
Barry Sembène
Omar Sy's animal trainer from the first Jurassic World; Jake Johnson's Lowery was meant to return but travel restrictions kept him away.
Q 11Who plays Kayla Watts, the cargo pilot who flies Owen and Claire to Biosyn?
DeWanda Wise
Trevorrow cast her without an audition after seeing her in Netflix's She's Gotta Have It.
Q 12Which flying reptile attacks Kayla's plane over Biosyn airspace?
Quetzalcoatlus
Kayla's aircraft is a C-119; the interior was a set and a miniature was used for exterior shots.
Q 13Which feathered dinosaur does Claire hide from in the swamp after ejecting?
Therizinosaurus
Trevorrow wanted the scene quiet and still, closer to the original Jurassic Park, and noted Claire had never had a sequence alone with a dinosaur.
Q 21Where did principal photography begin in February 2020?
British Columbia, Canada
Snowy scenes set in the Sierra Nevada were shot around Merritt and Cathedral Grove, the first snow setting in the franchise.
Q 22What did Universal do to keep the cast and crew safe when filming resumed at Pinewood in July 2020?
Rented a whole hotel as a bubble
The Langley Hotel next to Pinewood housed everyone for four months; the safety measures cost about $9 million.
Q 23How many pages long was the COVID safety document given to the cast?
109
The set had 150 hand-sanitiser stations and 1,800 safety signs; the film became a model for how big productions could restart.
Q 14How is Maisie Lockwood's origin explained in Dominion?
Charlotte cloned herself using her own DNA
Charlotte then altered Maisie's DNA with a custom pathogen so she would not inherit the disease that killed her.
Q 15How does Lewis Dodgson die?
Killed by Dilophosaurus in a stalled hyperloop pod
He was fleeing with dinosaur embryos in a cooler, an echo of the Barbasol can from the first film.
Q 16Which dinosaur did Trevorrow describe as wanting 'to watch the world burn' like the Joker?
Giganotosaurus
He saved it for the finale to set up a rivalry with Rexy, the T. rex from Isla Nublar.
Q 17Which dinosaur helps the T. rex win the final fight against the film's big new carnivore?
Therizinosaurus
Trevorrow shot the showdown mostly from the humans' point of view so it would feel like it was happening to the audience.
Q 18Who plays Lewis Dodgson, replacing Cameron Thor from the original film?
Campbell Scott
The role was recast after Thor's imprisonment for sexual assault.
Q 19Who plays Ramsay Cole, Biosyn's head of communications who secretly helps Malcolm?
Mamoudou Athie
Trevorrow cast him without an audition after his performance in The Front Runner.
Q 20What was the film's working title, borrowed from the ship in Fallen Kingdom?
Arcadia
The vessel carried the rescued dinosaurs from Isla Nublar to the US mainland in the previous film.
Q 24Why did Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard never actually film in Malta?
A COVID surge put the island on the UK quarantine list
Stunt doubles shot the Valletta scenes and the actors' faces were added digitally; Pratt rode a stationary bike on a treadmill against blue screen.
Q 25Which 1998 film's car chase inspired the Valletta rooftop and motorcycle chase?
Ronin
Up to nine cameras rolled at once; ILM's supervisor called the second-unit style 'very shaky, very frenetic', a nightmare for effects.
Q 26How many sets were built for the film?
112
They included the black market and the interior of Kayla's cargo plane, with big builds on Pinewood's 007 Stage.
Q 27Which Oxford University buildings stood in for Biosyn headquarters?
Blavatnik School of Government and Wolfson College
A Wolfson lecture hall hosts Ian Malcolm's introductory speech.
Q 28How many dinosaur species appear in Dominion?
35
Eighteen animatronics were built by John Nolan's team, more than in either previous Jurassic World film.
Q 29Which returning dinosaur was the only creature in the film created entirely without CGI?
Dilophosaurus
It was its first appearance since the original 1993 film, where it was also a purely practical effect.
Q 30Which non-dinosaur synapsid, long seen in franchise toys, made its film debut in Dominion?
Dimetrodon
The sail-backed creature lived before the dinosaurs; it stalks Alan and Ellie in the mine tunnels.
