50 free The Boss Baby trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
The Boss Baby started as a 2010 picture book by Caldecott honoree Marla Frazee about a newborn who runs the household like a CEO. DreamWorks turned it into a 1970s-set spy comedy in which Alec Baldwin's suited infant and his seven-and-a-half-year-old brother Tim take on Puppy Co and a Forever Puppy that would corner the world's love. It earned $528 million, an Academy Award nomination, a sequel, two Netflix series and, improbably, an academic conference. These 50 questions cover the Templeton family, Baby Corp's secret formula, the pacifier that reveals headquarters, Francis E. Francis and his brother Eugene, the Las Vegas rocket, the Beatles song woven through the plot, Hans Zimmer's score, the 1960s design that Tom McGrath modeled on Lady and the Tramp, the child voice actor whose voice broke mid-production, and the Kevin Spacey role that went to Steve Buscemi. The sequel questions cover Family Business, Dr. Armstrong, Tabitha and Tina and the Peacock release; the series questions cover Back in Business and Back in the Crib. Easy questions stick to the voice cast and the premise; the hard tier asks about release-date shuffles, Rotten Tomatoes scores, Miami premieres and who spoke at the Boss Baby symposium. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you pick up something even when you miss.
