The Americans trivia works because six seasons of disguises, tradecraft and family secrets gave fans a huge web of handlers, assets and double lives to track. Questions can cover Philip and Elizabeth, their children Paige and Henry, and the FBI agent living right next door.
A strong The Americans quiz can include Philip and Elizabeth Jennings and actors Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell, their cover as Dupont Circle Travel owners, daughter Paige and son Henry, FBI agent Stan Beeman next door, handler Claudia and the Centre, Oleg Burov and the Rezidentura, the wig-and-disguise tradecraft the couple use on missions, Martha Hanson the FBI secretary Philip recruits, and the show's Washington, D.C. setting during the Reagan-era Cold War. It works because fans who watched every season know exactly which mission, disguise or betrayal defined each year.
