This Why Don't We trivia quiz has 50 free questions with answers about the boy band that formed in Los Angeles in September 2016 and released two albums and six EPs before a lawsuit ended it in 2025. It covers the five members (Jack, Corbyn, Zach, Jonah and Daniel), where they came from and what they did before and after the band, the singles from "Taking You" to "How Do You Love Somebody", the song-a-month run of 2019, both albums and their chart positions, the tours, and the management fight that cancelled The Good Times Only Tour and eventually cost the group its name. It is written for Limelights who know the words but maybe not the details: which song was written by Ed Sheeran, what "Fallin'" samples, which YouTuber's vlogs the band kept turning up in, and which member was on American Idol at 15. Difficulty runs from easy fan questions to a few that only someone who has read every credit will get. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and its cited sources before publishing. Play it, share your score, and see who in the fandom really paid attention.
