The perfect, un-Google-able quiz for your Game of Thrones viewing party

The questions are designed to #makeuthink.

By Anna Leszkiewicz

*/

Sunday is coming. Game of Thrones returns this weekend – which means it’s time to revise on the seasons past and start planning those viewing parties. If you’re bored of the usual Game of Thrones quizzes – this one’s for you. The questions are designed to #makeuthink, but use no extra information from the books. Be warned: when you play this quiz, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.

1. What’s the connection between the following characters: Littlefinger, Ellaria Sand, Oberyn Martell, Jaqen H’Ghar, and Olenna Tyrell?

2. Knowledge is to Littlefinger as what is to Cersei?

3. What comes next in this sequence? Daenerys, Samwell Tarly, Daenerys, Ternesio Terys…?
