This Twice trivia quiz has 127 free questions with answers for Once and anyone who wants to test how well they know the Nation's Girl Group. It starts with the basics, such as how the nine members were chosen on Sixteen, why J. Y. Park picked the name and who sings the 'shy shy shy' line, then works through the discography from 'Like Ooh-Ahh' and 'Cheer Up' to 'The Feels', 'Set Me Free' and 'Strategy'. There are rounds on the Japan story (Warner Music Japan, #Twice, the Tokyo Tower display, the first girl-group dome tour and stadium shows), on the American run of Billboard 200 records, and on each member individually: birthplaces, pre-debut cameos, sisters, solo EPs and acting debuts. MiSaMo, the Coldplay collaboration, KPop Demon Hunters and the tenth-anniversary album are all in here too. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia's articles on the group, the members and the songs, and each question shows its source once you have answered, so you can settle fan-chat arguments with a link.
