Are the quiz answers included in Return To Monkey Island?
Posted On: March 3, 2023

Ahoy there, fancy pants.


On my Return to Monkey Island I found a several quiz cards. As I don't remember all previous adventures in detail and looking up the answers feels like cheating, I'm wondering if I'll find the answers during this adventure.


Can all quiz answers be found in "Return To Monkey Island" itself, or do I have to look them up in the internet?


Example question: "When did Ron Gilbert start working at Lucasfilm Games?".


Question from user Chris at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

No. I am almost certain that the "real-world" trivia, such as employee history, and the question about the ending of Monkey Island II, require knowledge that cannot be found within the new sequel.


You have to remember that a large intended fraction of this game's audience are old-school fans who have followed the franchise since the first game (in 1990) and might possibly be able to answer those questions from memory, without a search engine.


There is one significant Easter egg in the game (I wanted to put it in spoiler tags, but I can't get the markup working) but that doesn't seem to have any informational content.
