49 free Pretty Little Liars trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Think you know Rosewood better than A does? This PLL trivia quiz runs from the pilot to the finale: the night Alison vanished, Mona’s unmasking, the dollhouse, the five-year time jump, and the twin reveal that split the fandom in 2017. It is written for people who watched all seven seasons of Pretty Little Liars, but it starts gently. Early questions cover the network, the theme song, the four Liars and their love interests; later ones dig into Charlotte, Mary Drake, Bethany Young, Ravenswood, The Perfectionists and the 2022 revival Original Sin. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia’s episode and character pages rather than fan memory, so the questions hold up even in a house full of PLL obsessives. Play it solo or read it out at a rewatch party.
