With the seventh season of Game of Thrones just wrapping up, the world still has Westeros on the brain. Trivia works best when the largest possible group can participate so, since Game of Thrones is the most popular show on television and it is still fresh on our minds, what better time to see how well you know the show. But we’re not just interested in any old Game of Thrones trivia here. We are discussing a very specific part of the show, maybe the most interesting and definitely the most mysterious part of the show: White Walkers. We'll be covering everything White Walkers, including the wights, those reanimated corpses that have joined the Walker army.
Now, because the White Walkers have largely been kept to the sidelines in Game of Thrones, we've decided to stretch out the questions to include all those moments that are related to these mysterious creatures. This should create a White Walker-type boundary for the quiz and help us determine how well you've been paying attention to the Walkers when they are alluded to on screen. We realize that there isn't a lot of hard information about the Walkers, so we will only deal in what we know for sure.
With that said, we ask you, Can You Pass This Game Of Thrones Beyond The Wall Quiz?
What does Ghost bring back from beyond the Wall?
In the first season, when Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly are out swearing their oaths to the Night's Watch, Jon's direwolf, Ghost, wanders off. When he returns, he's carrying a stray body part. The rangers then go off in search of the man that this body part belonged to and discover the corpses of fellow rangers. This is also when they realize that Benjen Stark is truly gone and all alone. Do you remember what this frozen body part was?
What do the horn blows signal?
When the men of the Night's Watch are first occupying the Fist of the First Men, we learn that they have signals based on the number of horn blows they hear. The number of horn blows becomes very important throughout Game of Thrones as horns are heard several times. Obviously, there's a level of logic that can be applied here, but we are looking for specific language. Specifically, we are looking for how Jon described the horn blows at the Fist. What do the horn blows signal?
Which one of the following men died north of the Wall?
When Jon took his band of not-so-merry men north of the Wall to catch a wight and bring it back as proof of what's coming, we figured there would be a few casualties. There were several random members who died in the trek, random soldiers that many no call redshirts in the Star Trek tradition. There was at least one member of the group that died who was known to us though. We knew his name and we knew his story. Do you remember who it was?
What was the name of the ranger that Ned beheads in the first episode?
In the very first episode, we meet a ranger of the Night's Watch who has deserted his post in fear of the Walkers. This deserter was brought before Ned Stark to answer for his crimes and Ned was forced to execute the man, as it was his duty. Later, Benjen Stark described this former man of the Night's Watch as a "true ranger," which makes the fact that he deserted seem very out of character. What was the ranger's name?
What does Bran see that causes him to send Ravens all over Westeros?
In season seven, while in Winterfell, Bran is shown warging into a raven and flying with a group of ravens, which, incredibly, is called either an "unkindness" or a "conspiracy." While in control of the ravens, Bran sees something that causes him to send messenger ravens to all corners of Westeros. The messages tell of what he saw and tries to urge action from the leaders around the country. What was it that Bran saw that caused him so much fright?
What type of weapon does Benjen use?
We see Benjen a few times after he leaves Castle Black, but he's never the same as he was when he left. He is now half undead and fights a little differently. On a couple of different occasions, Benjen brandishes this new weapon. It's unclear as to why he uses this weapon or if it is more effective against wights and/or White Walkers but it sure looks awesome. Do you remember what type of weapon it is that Uncle Benjen Stark now uses?
What is the name of the place the Walkers were first seen?
In the very beginning of Game of Thrones, we meet a group of rangers north of the wall. The three men are accosted by White Walkers and wights, leaving two dead and one ranger who fled. Though we don't hear the name of the place where this event occurs right away, we do catch it a couple of times later on. The land is occupied by Wildlings, particularly Craster and his wives. The boundaries of the land stretch out basically from the Wall to the Frostfangs, a mountain range to the north. What is the name of this land?
What rumored undead creature have we not seen?
There are plenty of rumored creatures in Game of Thrones. Many, that were first only mentioned, were later proved to be real things. Some of these things we've heard in stories, others simply mentioned by other characters in passing. Not all will likely be real, but it's hard to doubt any until the show ends for good. When everything imaginable seems to be real, it would be silliness to try and say for sure that something can't exist in Westeros. Yet, we've haven't seen everything. Out of the things listed below, which is one that we haven't yet seen?
Who was the undead ranger that attacked Jon and Mormont?
When the men of the Night's Watch first find the two dead rangers that set out with Benjen Stark, they didn't really think anything of it. Their plan was to bring the corpses back and then burn them. When they get back to Castle Black, Mormont decides that they should have Maester Aemon check them out, so they hold off on the burning. That night, one of the corpses reanimates and attacks Mormont. Jon ends up saving the Lord Commander and killing the wight. Who was this ranger-turned-wight?
How many wives does Craster have in the first season?
You'll remember Craster, the Wildling who houses the men of the Night's Watch beyond the Wall. It doesn't take long for the viewers to see just how unlovable this man is. Later, when we learn of his relationship with the Walkers, we love him even less. Craster has got himself in a deal with the Walkers. He marries his daughters when they're old enough and gives his sons away for the Walkers to do what they will with them. In the first season, Craster tells us how many wives he has. What is the number?
How was Benjen's transition to becoming a wight stopped?
Benjen disappeared early in the show and we didn't hear from him for a long time. We always knew that he would come back one way or another, but we didn't know how or when. When we finally did meet him again, he was half wight somehow. We didn't understand how this worked until he told Bran about it after rescuing them from White Walkers. Though we don't have all the specifics, we know what he told us. What was it that stopped his transition into becoming a wight?
Who delivers Craster's last son to the Walkers?
After a bad band of the Night's Watch become mutineers and kill Mormont, they seize Craster's keep and stay there for a time. Months later, Jon Snow and some loyal Night's Watch men return and kill the mutineers. Before that, however, we see one of Craster's wives give birth to the dead man's final son. This child is brought to the leader of the mutineers. The leader is told that the child should be given to the Walkers. The leader then delegates the task. Who is the man that is ordered to deliver the child?
Who First Discovers the Dragon Glass Cache at the Fist?
When the men of the Night's Watch are at the Fist of the First Men, Jon Snow goes off in a Ranging party with Qhorin Halfhand. The men who remain in the group start to set up camp. While they're digging into the snow, one of the members of the Night's Watch hits a hard surface. Upon inspection, they see it is a rock with strange markings on it. This rock is revealed to be covering a large cache of Dragonglass. Who is it that first finds this?
Who saves Sam from a wight at the Battle of the Fist?
After the men of the Night's Watch are attacked by Walkers and wights at the Fist of the First Men, Sam runs and hides. For whatever reason, he is not attacked right away. Later, when Sam is wandering about, he comes across a brother. It turns out that this brother is dead and has been decapitated. It's here that Sam is attacked by a wight. Right before he is killed, however, Sam is saved. Who is it that comes to his rescue?
What shape are the mutilated remains of the horses placed in at the Fist?
When Jon Snow, Mance Rayder and the other Wildlings visit the Fist, they find that most of the Night's Watch who were there had been killed and/or taken by Walkers and wights. The bodies of the horses, they find, had been mutilated and spread out in a very particular shape. The camera even pans out and then takes a bird's eye view to give the audience a clear shot of it. Do you remember what shape the bodies were placed in?
How many men were said to be at the Fist when the Walkers attacked?
When the men of the Night's Watch set out from the Castle Black, they go to the Fist with the intention of meeting up with Qhorin Halfhand and many more rangers. Eventually, they do meet up, though we're not really aware of their total number. Later, when Jon snow returns to the Fist with the Wildlings, Jon posing as a turncoat, he tells Mance Rayder how many Crows were there. What was the total number of Night's Watch men did Jon say were there?
Why did Osha flee south of the Wall?
When we first meet Osha, she is just a simple Wildling who tries to steal Bran's horse in order to get as far south as she can. We understand that she is fleeing the Walkers and the winter, but we don't have any specifics. It's not until much later, after Osha leaves Winterfell with the Stark boys and Hodor, that we learn the truth of her flight. We know you heard the story of why she left, but do you remember why Osha fled south?
Where does Sam stab the White Walker to kill it?
After Sam and Gilly had fled Craster's Keep with the newborn baby, they hide in a cottage. Soon after, a Walker comes to take the baby for whatever reason. Sam eventually kills this thing. Now, we know that the location of the stab doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The reason Sam was able to dispatch a White Walker was because he used Dragonglass. Still, we're interested in where Sam stabbed this thing. Do you remember where he stabbed it?
Where does the Night King touch Craster's last son to turn him?
After one of the Walkers take Craster's last son, the Walker rides on horseback to their secret hideout. There, he places the child on an ice altar and the other Walkers approach. It's then that the Night King comes and walks up to the baby. He touches it and we see that the child's eyes turn blue, signalling that it has been turned wight or Walker. We're interested in the specifics of this scene. Do you remember where the Night King touches the baby with his fingernail?
What gift does Sam give Meera?
When Sam and Gilly come across Bran, Meera, Hodor and Jojen, he urges them to come to Castle Black with him, but they insist they have a journey they must complete (to meet the Three-Eyed Raven). Sam tells the group about the Walkers and the wights and describes how he dispatched one of them with Dragonglass. It seems that these warnings are to dissuade them from traveling north of the Wall. It doesn't work. Before they leave Sam gives Meera a gift. What is it?
What does Sam say is the reason he was able to kill a Walker?
When Sam and Pyp are preparing the Wall for the attack by the Wildlings, Pyp begins to talk about how he is scared and how he has never been in a battle or even held a blade. He asks Sam for encouragement, questioning him on how he was able to kill a White Walker, especially while being so afraid. Sam explains that it was to protect Gilly, but he also gives another reason. How does Sam describe himself, basically the reason he was able to fight the Walker?
What is different about the wights that attack Bran and company outside the Three-Eyed Raven's cave?
When Bran, Hodor, Meera and Jojen finally reach the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven, they are attacked by wights. At first, the company is overjoyed to see the large Weirwood signalling the end of their journey, but, before they can make it inside the cave, they are attacked by wights. Bran wargs into Hodor and Meera holds her own, but sadly, Jojen is killed in the fight. Compared to most of the other wights we had seen up to this point, these ones seemed different in a couple of ways. Do you remember noticing something new?
How did the Children of the Forest kill the wights?
When Brans and company are attacked by wights outside of the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven, they are very nearly all killed. Jojen did die, but the rest were rescued by one of the Children of the Forest. This little human came out and took care of a few of the wights, allowing the group to get inside the cave safely. Once inside the cave, the other wights that followed them inside were blown apart by the magic barrier in the cave. But how did the one Children of the Forest kill those few wights?
What is the name of the dragon who was killed and then resurrected by the Night King?
In season seven, we see a group of men stranded on an island of rocks, surrounded by wights and Walkers. The men, led by Jon Snow, fight off all incoming enemies, but they are forced out of space and hope. Just before they are all killed, Daenerys and her dragons show up on the scene to save the day. Sadly, one of Dany's dragons is killed by the Night King. Later, we watch this dragon return as a wight. What was the dragon's name?
Why were the White Walkers originally created?
When Bran is being instructed on how to use his powers and become the new Three-Eyed Raven, he travels back to beginnings of the White Walkers. In this vision, he sees how the White Walkers were first created. He watches as Leaf, one of the Children of the Forest, stabbed a man through the heart with Dragonglass. Soon after, the man's eyes turned blue. Bran awakes and gets angry with Leaf, asking why they made the Walkers. She explains their purpose. What was it?
What was Jon looking for in the house in Hardhome?
Right before Jon is attacked by a White Walker in Hardhome, he enters a house to get something. To get your bearings, this is after the attack on Hardhome has begun and there is carnage outside. While looking for this mystery thing, Jon is grabbed and thrown by a Walker and their epic battle begins. Eventually, Jon kills this guy with his Valyrian sword and it appears that he never did find what he was looking for in the first place. Do you remember what it was?
What was the name of the Wildling woman in Hardhome?
When Jon, his fellow Night's Watch members and some of the Wildlings get to Hardhome, we are introduced to some Free Folk that we've met before and some new members. One of the new people is a woman who is the leader of a clan. After Hardhome is attacked, this woman saves her children, placing them on a boat to escape. Later, when she is confronted by child wights, she is unable to kill them, showing her affinity for kids. This leads to her death. In one of Bran's visions in season six, we see that this Wildling has now become a wight. Do you remember her name?
What does Jon show Daenerys in the Dragonstone caves?
When Jon first meets with Daenerys, he asks for her help in the war. This is denied at first. He then asks if he could mine the mountain for Dragonglass. This, Dany allows. After that, Jon set his men to work. It's not long after he had started that Jon asks Daenerys to come with him. He takes her inside the mountain to show her something, something we assume she had never seen before. What was it that he showed her?
Who is the first person we see killed by Walkers?
In the opening scene for Game of Thrones, we see rangers who come across a group of slaughtered Wildlings. As the men explore the area, they are surprised by White Walkers who kill two of the three of them. The third man flees the scene only to be killed later for deserting his post. While we only catch a glimpse of the first kill, we hear a sword strike and we know how it ends. The second ranger is killed shortly afterward. What was the name of the first ranger killed?
How large is the army of the dead?
When the leaders all meet up in King's Landing at the Dragonpit to discuss the upcoming war against the army of the dead. At first, Cersei and her fellow people don't believe the reports. When they are shown a wight, however, things change… kind of. Daenerys pipes in that she, too, saw the army of the dead and is going to do everything in her power to stop them. When Jaime Lannister asks her how many are in the army, the number shocks him. How many undead does she put the army at?
Whose hand does Ser Alliser Thorne take to King's Landing?
In an effort to acquire help from the crown, Ser Alliser Thorne is sent to King's Landing with the hand of a wight. The hand was the same one that Ghost brought back from the beyond the Wall and it belonged to one of the rangers who set out with Benjen Stark. The man who lost the hand would later have his body burnt and the hand itself would (apparently) wither away and become useless in the quest to convince King's Landing of the danger of the Walkers. The show kind of skips over this part, but even still, what was the name of the ranger who lost his hand?
Who kills the wight in the Dragonpit?
The group that went north of the wall did so to get a wight and bring it back to King's Landing to prove to Cersei that the threat is real. Whether it worked to form an alliance or not is another story altogether. The plan to get the wight and bring it back, did work though. When they showed the wight to Cersei, it ran toward her. Not long after that, after their point had been proven, one of the members of the group killed the wight. Who was it?
Who kills the snow bear with Dragonglass?
We're using several moments from season seven for a couple of reasons. For one, it's recent and relevant. But more importantly, the latest season told us and showed us more about the Walkers than we've seen before. The group who went north of the Wall in season seven were attacked by a crazy undead snow bear. This is a fancy name for a polar bear. After doing some damage, the bear was killed with Dragonglass. Who was it that did the deed?
What allows the Walkers to enter the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven?
When Bran is going through his Raven training, he is shown all sorts of visions and learns many different secrets. At this point in the show, Bran and company are safe inside the cave, free from any danger because of the magic in that place that protects them. Unfortunately, something happens when Bran is in a vision. This something allows the Walkers and wights to enter the save, which they soon do and attack the group, even killing the Three-Eyed Raven, the Children of the Forest and Hodor. What happened?
What does Mance Rayder call the Walkers after he sees what they did at the Fist?
When Jon meets with Mance Raydar and company, he takes them to the Fist of the First Men. Now, Orell had already described a massacre at the fist, but we didn't quite know the extent of the destruction until the group showed up there in person. Perhaps more than any other person, Raydar knows the Walkers well. So, when he described them in a certain way at the Fist, we believed that he knows what he's talking about. How did he describe the Walkers when he saw what they did at the Fist?
