Game of Thrones won 59 Emmy Awards, the most for any drama series in history. From its debut on April 17, 2011, to its controversial finale on May 19, 2019, the show captivated audiences across 8 seasons and 73 episodes. This quiz covers everything from behind-the-scenes secrets to the deepest lore of Westeros.
The Season 8 finale drew criticism for its rushed pacing — compressing major character arcs into just six episodes. Daenerys's sudden turn to destruction, Jaime's regression, and Bran becoming king felt unearned to many viewers. Despite 19.3 million viewers watching the finale, it remains one of the most debated endings in TV history.
The first four seasons closely adapted George R.R. Martin's five published novels (A Song of Ice and Fire). After surpassing the books in Season 6, showrunners Benioff and Weiss worked from GRRM's outline. Two books remain unpublished: The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.
Notable survivors include Sansa Stark, Arya Stark, Bran Stark, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Samwell Tarly, Brienne of Tarth, and Bronn. Of the show's thousands of characters, approximately 6,887 were killed across all eight seasons.
