Screen OD staff

From its premiere in 2011 to its grand finale in 2019, Game of Thrones gripped the world with its epic tale of power, betrayal, and survival. Set in the mythical land of Westeros and beyond, the television adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series became a cultural phenomenon and despite not pleasing everyone with the way it bowed out – it continues to be one of the most talked about TV shows of the modern age. Its intricate plotlines, richly drawn characters, and stunning visuals contributed to its status as a television milestone and a show that set the bar incredibly high for fantasy storytelling on the small screen.

Although not everyone noticed them, equally noteworthy were the show’s episode titles, carefully chosen to encapsulate the narrative’s thematic elements, to foreshadow events, or to pay homage to the original books’ language. From the ominous ‘Winter is Coming’ to the monumental ‘The Iron Throne’, these titles form an important part of the Game of Thrones experience for true fans.

But how well do you know these episodes, their titles, and the stories they tell? In this quiz, we present twenty episode titles. Some are genuine, taken from the eight seasons of Game of Thrones. Others are carefully crafted fabrications. Can you discern the authentic from the invented?
