About This Quiz
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die! Luckily, there won't be any dying in this quiz! Game of Thrones became a quick TV sensation with the introduction of a ton of popular characters. Can you recognize them all from a picture?
In 1996 author George R. R. Martin would release the novel, A Game of Thrones, the first installment in his A Song of Ice and Fire series. While he might not have known it then, the series would go on to change both the literary and television worlds.ÂÂ
The series follows a fictional world of a war brewing for power over the Iron Throne in their continents of Westeros and Essos. This fight for power would introduce some of the most integral characters to the series. How many of them can you remember?
Characters like Jamie, Cersei, and Tyrion are well known in the series. We're sure you could definitely identify them from a picture, right? What about the Stark children like Sansa and Arya? Can you remember the faces of Bran and Rickon? No one could forget the faces of Jon Snow and Daenerys, but can you remember Ygritte and Khal Drogo?
Within 7 seasons, there have been a slew of characters shown in the Game of Thrones world. How many can you remember? Will you come out on top and rule the kingdoms or will you be put to "SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!" like Cersei? Let's find out!
Just like this quiz, winter is coming. NO, winter is here!
