The Leftovers trivia works because three seasons built a whole world out of one unexplained event, moving from Mapleton to Jarden to the Australian outback. Questions can cover the Sudden Departure, the Guilty Remnant and the strange rules each new place plays by.

A strong The Leftovers quiz can include the Sudden Departure on October 14 and the two percent who vanished, Kevin Garvey and Justin Theroux, Nora Durst and Carrie Coon, Laurie, Jill and Tom Garvey, Matt Jamison and his gospel, Patti Levin and the white-clad Guilty Remnant, Holy Wayne and his hugs, the move to Jarden Texas and its Miracle nickname, the Murphys and Regina King, the Department of Sudden Departure, the purgatory hotel of International Assassin, the Australian season and the ferry cult, plus the machine, the flood and the ending Nora describes. It works because fans who watched every episode know which mystery the show answered and which it deliberately left alone.
