The grey aliens enter the hangar

What’s older than the hills? What’s bigger than the sky? Our love for The X-Files, of course! We’ve assembled a quiz of 25 questions to put your knowledge to the test—the more questions you get right, the closer you will get to finding Big Blue…

Below you will find questions ranging across all seasons of The X-Files, including the reboot, as well as the movies. Some questions pertain to non-diegetic trivia while others are about things that happen within the world of the show. We tried to spread it around and make the quiz moderately difficult, but a couple of these are probably pretty easy.

There are also a couple of joke answers. Trust no one!
