Pick your level
The normal quiz covers the big moments of the eleven seasons that aired from 2010 to 2022: the farm, the prison, Woodbury, Negan's arrival and the Whisperers.
Hard mode goes into the original comic, the changes the show made, the casting and the spin-offs. Five out of ten there is a solid score.
The Walking Dead began in 2003 as a black-and-white monthly comic, drawn first by Tony Moore and then by Charlie Adlard. It ended in 2019 with a final issue nobody saw coming.
The TV series premiered on Halloween night 2010. Over twelve years it drifted away from the comic, invented characters like Daryl Dixon, and launched a whole franchise of spin-offs.
