108 free Terraria trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
54 free Terraria trivia questions with answers. Terraria was built in a living room on Microsoft XNA, released early because a beta leaked, and has since sold more than 70 million copies while promising a final update at least three times. This quiz covers the story: Andrew Spinks and Re-Logic, the 2012 pause, Journey's End, Labor of Love, the Undeluxe April Fools' build, the crossovers with Don't Starve, Palworld and Dead Cells, the cancelled Otherworld and the sequel that never quite arrives. Then it heads underground: how to summon the Eye of Cthulhu, Skeletron, Queen Bee, the Wall of Flesh, Plantera, Golem, Duke Fishron, the Empress of Light and the Moon Lord, plus Hardmode, the Corruption versus the Crimson, the Hallow, the Guide, the Zenith and the 35 secret seeds. It suits veterans who have beaten Master mode and newcomers who still fear the Dungeon Guardian. Every answer was checked against the Wikipedia articles on Terraria and Re-Logic and against the official Terraria wiki for in-game details, and each question shows the sentence that supports it once you answer.

Q 01Which Terraria tool teleports players straight back to their spawn point?
Magic Mirror
Magic Mirror: unlike a Recall Potion it is never used up, so one mirror found in a cave chest can take you home for the rest of the game.
Q 02Which real-world sport did Terraria's 1.4 update let players take up?
Golf
Golf: players build their own courses from tees and cups, and the Golfer, rescued in the Underground Desert, sells more gear as their score climbs.

Dungeon Defenders 2
Dungeon Defenders 2: in return, that game added Terraria's Dryad as a new playable hero class.
Q 04Why was Terraria released earlier than planned?
A beta build had leaked
A beta build had leaked: so the game was all but rushed out, and a patch fixing launch bugs followed the very next day.

Microsoft XNA
Microsoft XNA: Microsoft stopped supporting it in 2013, and in 2023 Re-Logic pledged sponsorship money to FNA, a free community rebuild of XNA.

Scott Lloyd Shelly
Scott Lloyd Shelly: he later wrote fresh tracks for the 1.4.5 update, finally giving bosses such as Queen Bee and Skeletron new themes.

Open doors
Open doors: players wall off their doorways with a solid block, because simply going indoors won't keep them safe that night.

Its fan community

Q 14What was Terraria's 'Undeluxe Edition', released on Steam on April Fools' Day 2024?

A chair: NPCs can even move into natural structures, such as floating island buildings, once players put a light inside.
Q 18Why did Re-Logic cancel Terraria: Otherworld in 2018?

Unhappy with its progress: Re-Logic said outsourcing even part of such a key game had been a mistake, and that future games would be made in-house.

Infinite worlds: he felt locked in by the original's design, and wanted players free to travel anywhere instead of being stuck in one world.

Spike Chunsoft
Spike Chunsoft: it added exclusive crossover outfits to that edition, including one of Monokuma from its own Danganronpa series.

Indiana
Indiana: the small studio there vowed in 2019 that none of its games would ever be Epic Games Store exclusives, refusing to 'sell our souls'.
Q 25What do sunflowers planted near a Terraria base do for players?
Make fewer enemies spawn
Make fewer enemies spawn: their Happy! buff cuts critter spawns too, so players gathering bait are better off pulling up the sunflowers around them.
Q 26Which Terraria world difficulty, added in the 1.4 update, sits above Expert?
Master
Master: it tops Expert with even tougher foes, and every boss beaten there drops a relic, a shiny golden statue of that boss.

Melee, ranged, magic, summoner
Melee, ranged, magic, summoner: your equipment decides your class, so you can switch any time just by changing weapons and armour.
