126 free Mr. Robot trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
This Mr. Robot trivia quiz covers all four seasons of Sam Esmail's techno-thriller, from the pilot's Coney Island arcade to the two-part finale that reveals who "Elliot" really was. The easy questions are ones any viewer can handle: the network, the actors behind Elliot, Darlene, Angela and Mr. Robot himself, what fsociety wanted to do to E Corp, and Elliot's black hoodie. The harder end is for people who noticed the file extensions on the episode titles. It asks about the Five/Nine hack and Stage 2, Steel Mountain and the Raspberry Pi, Project Berenstain, Ecoin and the Congo, Whiterose's Washington Township plant, the Deus Group robbery, the season 2 prison twist, the one-take episode "runtime-error", the five-act hostage episode "407 Proxy Authentication Required", the Mastermind reveal, and behind-the-scenes facts: how Rami Malek won the part, why the season 1 finale was delayed a week, who advised on the hacks, the Peabody, the Golden Globes and the Emmys. There are also questions on the cast's other work, from BD Wong's Tony to Michael Cristofer's Pulitzer. Every answer was checked against the encyclopaedia entries for the series, its episode list, individual episodes and the cast before publishing, and the supporting sentence is stored with each question.
