Hannibal trivia works because the show pairs one of fiction's most iconic villains with a distinctive visual style, a deep supporting cast, and case-of-the-week killers that give it a lot of specific, memorable detail to draw on.

A strong Hannibal quiz can include Hannibal Lecter, Will Graham's isolated Wolf Trap farmhouse, Bedelia Du Maurier, Frederick Chilton, Jack Crawford, the Chesapeake Ripper, Francis Dolarhyde and the Tooth Fairy killings, and the show's grounding in Thomas Harris's Red Dragon. The theme works because it can move between Hannibal's own double life, the FBI's profiling work, and the show's parade of distinct serial-killer cases.
