50 free Pirate101 trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Pirate101 put ships in the sky. KingsIsle's 2012 follow-up to Wizard101 drops you on a prison ship in the Spiral, hands you a crew of talking animals and sends you racing a clockwork Armada for the map to El Dorado, a lost world made of gold. The combat swaps Wizard101's card duels for board-game-style turns, and the worlds borrow from imperial China, the American frontier and Victorian London. These 50 questions cover the story and the systems: Captain Avery and Skull Island, Kane and his escaped creation Queen, the seven map pieces, Sinbad's arc and the two underworlds, companions like Kan Po and Lucky Jack Russell, Doubloons, the Brawlin' Hall, the chat filters and the guns that fire electricity. Then there is the studio: who founded KingsIsle, how he paid for it, which id Software co-founder directed its first game, and what Pirate101 beat to win MMORPG's Game of the Year. A few questions reach across to the sister game's schools, composers and console launch. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss. Play it solo or print it for the crew.
