50 free Red Vs. Blue trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Red vs. Blue started in 2003 as a handful of Halo gameplay clips with voices dubbed over the top, planned to last six to eight episodes. It ran for twenty seasons, popularised an entire art form, won a Webby, and ended in 2024 as a feature film after the studio that made it shut down. This quiz covers the argument about whether a Warthog looks like a puma, the website the show was born on, the canyon and its two bases, the truth behind the 'civil war', the cast behind Sarge, Grif, Caboose and Tex, the Trocadero and Jeff Williams soundtracks, the controller and camera tricks that made the game act, the awards, the video-game in-jokes, and the long road to Restoration. Every answer is explained, so you come away knowing how the thing was actually made.
