Mad Men trivia works because the show is full of sharply drawn characters, memorable pitches, status games, marriages, affairs, and workplace shifts tied to a very specific era. Its details are quieter than action-driven shows, but they are often just as memorable.

A strong Mad Men quiz can include Don, Peggy, Roger, Joan, Betty, Pete, Sterling Cooper and its later forms, advertising campaigns, office hierarchy, family strain, identity questions, and the wider backdrop of 1960s American culture. The theme works because it can move between character psychology, business ambition, period detail, social change, and the smaller personal moments that give the series its depth.
