Project Hail Mary trivia works because the story runs on hard science, alien first contact and one desperate mission. Questions can cover Ryland Grace waking with amnesia, Astrophage and the Petrova Line, Tau Ceti and the friendship with Rocky.
A strong Project Hail Mary quiz can include Ryland Grace and his amnesia aboard the ship, the AI voice Mary and the crew of Yao and Ilyukhina, Eva Stratt and the Petrova Task Force, Astrophage feeding on Venus and the spin drive engines, the journey to Tau Ceti and the planet Adrian, Rocky the Eridian from 40 Eridani A with his xenonite ship, echolocation and five legs, Taumoeba and the nitrogen problem, Grace's paper and the firing that preceded it, and the film itself with Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller adapting Andy Weir's novel. It works because it rewards readers of the book and viewers of the film alike.
