The X-Files trivia works because the series mixes a sprawling conspiracy mythology with standalone case episodes, giving fans both a deep continuity to track and a wide range of individual stories to remember.
A strong X-Files quiz can include Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, the FBI's X-Files division, the Smoking Man, Walter Skinner, the alien colonization mythology, and standout monster-of-the-week episodes. The theme works because it rewards fans who followed the overarching conspiracy as closely as those who remember the show's stand-alone scares.
