How many times have you watched all eight seasons of Game of Thrones? If the answer is more than twice, this quiz is for the Westerosi in you. There are 45 questions across seven rounds, from houses and mottos to the deaths that made you throw a cushion at the television, with every answer given straight after the question.
Game of Thrones rounds are a regular request at the AhaSlides quiz nights we run, and they are brutal in the best way, because every fan is sure they remember who died when. The show also won 59 Primetime Emmys from 159 nominations, according to the Television Academy, so it is a fair bet that your group has opinions. A bonus five-question house quiz sits at the end, for anyone who wants to know where they would be sworn in.

Mostly c: House Targaryen. Bold and fearless, with a three-headed red dragon on black. The Targaryens conquered Westeros with dragons and ruled from the Iron Throne for almost three centuries.
Mostly d: House Baratheon. Brave, strong and quick to temper, with a crowned black stag on gold. The Baratheons of Storm's End took the Iron Throne after Robert's Rebellion.
Tips for running a Game of Thrones quiz night
1. Use the Emmys as a tiebreaker. Ask for the total number of Primetime Emmys the show won and give the point to the closest guess. The answer is 59, from 159 nominations, per the Television Academy.
2. Mix the sets. Pick one set of 5 from several rounds instead of playing a whole round, so a 20-minute game still feels varied.
3. Save the house quiz for last. It lets the room settle down after the points race and gives the losers something to enjoy.
4. Settle disputes with the books. Several answers differ between the novels and the show, so decide in advance which one counts.

Frequently asked questions
How many episodes of Game of Thrones are there?
There are 73 episodes across eight seasons, which aired on HBO between 2011 and 2019.
Is Game of Thrones based on a book?
Yes. The show is adapted from George R. R. Martin's fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, which began with A Game of Thrones in 1996. The later seasons largely moved ahead of the published books, so the show's ending has not appeared in the novels.
What are the Game of Thrones prequels called?
There are two so far. House of the Dragon premiered on HBO in 2022 and is set about 170 years before Game of Thrones, following House Targaryen at the height of its power. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms followed in January 2026, adapting George R. R. Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas, set roughly a century before the main series.
