50 free The Croods trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
The Croods began life in 2005 as a stop-motion Aardman project called Crood Awakening, written by John Cleese, before the rights bounced back to DreamWorks and Chris Sanders rebuilt it into the 2013 film about a cave family fleeing the end of their world. Nicolas Cage's overprotective Grug, Emma Stone's restless Eep and Ryan Reynolds' inventor Guy carried it to $587 million and an Oscar nomination, and a sequel survived cancellation, a studio sale and a pandemic to arrive in 2020. These 50 questions cover both films and the two TV series: the Croodaceous era and its portmanteau creatures, Belt the sloth and Chunky the Macawnivore, the 'hug' Grug invents, the Bettermans and their Punch Monkeys, the directors who came and went, the composers, the HAIM single, the Netflix prequel and the Peacock sequel series. Easy questions stick to the voice cast and the pets; the hard tier asks about release dates, 4DX, China grosses and which prime minister compared lockdown to leaving the cave. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you pick up a fact even when you miss. Good for family game night or anyone who still says 'rhymes with Grug'.
