Top 50 by XPAbout the Lord of the Rings quiz
Think you know Middle-earth? This Lord of the Rings quiz follows the journey from Bag End to Mount Doom. Questions cover the Fellowship, hobbits, wizards, Elves and Dwarves, famous swords like Sting and Anduril, places such as Rivendell, Rohan and Minas Tirith, the villains from Sauron to Shelob, and the Peter Jackson films with their cast and music.
Every match is live LOTR trivia against one opponent. You both answer the same 7 questions with 10 seconds each, and faster correct answers score more. Question 7 counts double, so the final answer can change everything. Some rounds are friendly for people who have only seen the films, while others play like a hard Lord of the Rings quiz for readers who remember Deagol and the Prancing Pony.
Play a random opponent from anywhere in the world, or send a friend a challenge link and settle who would really make it to Mordor. If nobody is free, a clearly labelled practice bot steps in. Each match earns XP for your Lord of the Rings level and helps you climb the leagues from Bronze to Legend.
