Ridley Pearson Trivia Questions
1. The Kingdom Keepers are a group of teenagers fighting against evil in the Disney parks - how many of them make up the core group at the beginning of the series?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: Five

The five original keepers are Finn, Charlene, Maybeck, Philby and Willa. They were chosen by Disney as models for holographic guest guides. They are later joined by Amanda and Jess, two girls with very special abilities.

2. What makes Finn believe that his first dream of the Magic Kingdom is not just a dream?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: The moon

Wayne points out the moon in the sky for Finn in the Magic Kingdom. When he wakes up, he sees the moon in the sky. It's in the exact same place. He knows he couldn't have known where the moon was in the sky in his sleep, so it must not have been a dream.

3. Who is the leader of the Keepers?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Finn

Wayne makes Finn the leader in the beginning. Finn does not know if he is ready, but Wayne really does think he is ready to take on the task.

4. The acronym "DHI" has two meanings in the books. Which is the public one, as presented to Disney guests?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: Disney Host Interactive

In the books, DHIs are holographic hosts based on artificial intelligence that guests could take with them to have a personal guide to the parks. Their appearance is that of the five teenage protagonists of the books. Internally, the acronym is also used for the technology behind the DHIs, standing for Daytime Holographic Imaging.

5. What middle schools do Charlene, Philby, Maybeck, and Willa attend?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: Howard, Lee, Maitland, Jackson

This list was given to Finn by Brad - the guy who turned them into Disney Host Interactives, more commonly referred to as DHIs. But the only person whose middle school is actually revealed is Charlene - who goes to Lee Middle School. It isn't revealed which school Philby, Maybeck, and Willa attend.

6. Where do the books take place?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Orlando, Florida

The Keepers live in Orlando, Florida. They spend most of their time at the Disney parks. They also go on a Disney cruise ship in Book V, "Shell Game".

7. How is Finn hurt on the night when he, Charlene, and Philby cross over?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: A laser

The pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean ride take the Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin cars. One of the pirates shoots the laser at Finn and it burns his arm. When he wakes up, it is still there and he tells his mom it was a cigarette burn.

8. Which Overtaker freed Finn's mom in Book V, "Shell Game"?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Tia Dalma

Tia Dalma freed Finn's mother from the spell. Finn and Willa had to choke her with her own bead jewellery to make her undo it. They were very brave to do such a thing.

9. To enter Walt Disney World outside the opening times, the Keepers have to "cross over" into their holographic version. How do they trigger this?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: By going to sleep

The Keepers can cross over and merge with their holographic versions in their dreams. Crossing over is not without risk however - as Finn has to notice early on, their presence in the DHI form is quite real and if they do get wounded in that form, they will actually suffer those wounds to their real body.

10. Who is the first to go "all clear"? (All clear is the state where the crossed over DHI is pure hologram, not part hologram, part human.)

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: Finn

Finn goes "all clear" almost right away. He realizes it is all about what he thinks about that makes him human or hologram. So if he believes he is nothing but light, he is nothing but light.

11. Which Keeper is tall, big, and African American?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Maybeck

Maybeck lives with his aunt Jelly. She owns a pottery shop. We do not know what happened to his parents. He also gets very annoyed when people mention that he is African American. He is very tall for his age.

12. The Keepers wouldn't have much of a job besides lending their appearance to the DHIs without having to fight evil in the form of Disney villains. What is the name of the villains' organization?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: The Overtakers

The evil that endangers Walt Disney World and later on far more than just some places of entertainment takes a name in "The Overtakers". Finn actually learns of this name long before knowing what it stands for or encountering any Overtakers himself. At that time, he mostly just knows it is dangerous.

13. Who helps Finn track down the Keepers in real life?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: Amanda

Amanda helps Finn track down Charlene at her school and at Maybeck and his aunt's shop. She demands to be kept in the loop about what happens with the dreams of being a DHI.

14. Which Keeper is blond and a very good climber?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Charlene

She has had a crush on Finn ever since they met. Most people doubt her physical skills because of her appearance as a thin, pretty, sweet, little blond girl. Those who doubt her always find that they are very wrong about her.

15. The Keepers' first major fight is with Maleficent, the witch from 1959's "Sleeping Beauty". What is her role in the evil syndicate?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: Deputy Leader

While she appears to be the main villain in the first three books, the actual mastermind behind the Overtakers is the demon Chernabog. In actual Disney history, Chernabog has only a rather minor role - he has only one relatively brief appearance in 1940's "Fantasia", but nonetheless he is considered one of Disney's prime villains and the books let him live the part to the hilt.

16. The four elements in "The Stonecutter's Quill" (the story Wayne tells the DHIs) are Sun, Cloud, Stone and what?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: Wind

"The Stonecutter's Quill" story went something like this: A stonecutter was very busy cutting a mountain. He was hot and wished to be the sun so he could be more powerful. Suddenly, he was the sun. But his so-called power was blocked by a cloud. He wished to be a cloud and he was. He got to block the sun, and rain and storm, but his power was moved by gusts of wind. He thought the wind was more powerful than him, so he wished to be the wind and he became the wind. He could move anything. But, when he blew against a mountain, it wouldn't move. He wished to be the mountain to be more powerful. He could block the wind as much as he wanted. But he felt part of him being destroyed. When he looked down, he saw a stonecutter.

17. What are the Keepers at night, when they wake up in the parks?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: DHIs

They are DHIs at night when they are in the parks. Most of the time, DHIs are holograms that they have posed for and have recorded special voice projectors. DHI stands for Disney Hologram Interactive. This is first mentioned in the first book called "Disney After Dark".

18. What is "the Fob"?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: A portable device allowing the Keepers to return from crossing over

Also known as the Button, the Return and the Remote, the Fob looks like a television remote except that it only has one single button. Without access to the Fob, the only way for a keeper to return from crossing over is to go back to the place they materialized in and then have someone else manually return them from the DHI server room.

19. What do the Keepers use to see the letters hidden in the rides?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: 3D glasses

Amanda's comment, "Get a different perspective", paired with what Walt Disney told Wayne when giving him the story, "I've got plans for this place that will put things in perspective", make Finn think that the letters are hidden and can only be seen when wearing 3D glasses.

20. What is the relationship between Wayne and the Keepers?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Mentor

Wayne is their mentor. He is old and white haired. He has a daughter named Wanda. They both help the Keepers very much.

21. Amanda and Jess are "Fairlies" - orphan children with special abilities. What is the origin of this name?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: They are "fairly human"

Actually, all Fairlies are born humans, but each of them possesses a supernatural ability - Amanda can levitate items and Jess can see into the future in her dreams. A third Fairlie, Mattie, with telepathic abilities, is later seen. Although all three Fairlies seen in the series are girls, it has not been ruled out that there could also be Fairlie boys.

22. What do the letters in the anagram end up spelling?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: My First Pen

Charlene is great at anagrams and tries to solves the puzzle, but only after the papers fall to the floor is the puzzle solved. The letters fall in such a way they spell Wy First Pen, but the W s actually an M and when it is turned around the Keepers realize that the story is about finding Walt's first pen and using it to defeat the Overtakers.

23. Who is Amanda's Fairlie friend?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Jess

Amanda and Jess have been friends since early years. They are Farilies, girls who have very special powers.

24. What does it mean for a Keeper to go "All-Clear"?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: It means to become insubstantial after crossing over

While the Keepers normally carry part of their physical selves along while crossed over, Finn was the first of them to realize that they could control this aspect and become completely holographic, unable to interact with or be affected by the environment, by simply willing it to be. Going All-Clear at will has become a powerful weapon in the Keepers' arsenal.

25. Where does Finn find Walt's first pen?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: One Man's Dream

Finn sneaks into One Man's Dream and takes a bunch of pens from a display case, along with the original plans for Walt Disney World. But the plans are stolen from him by Jez.

26. Who does Finn have a crush on?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Amanda

Finn has liked Amanda since they met. They have kissed a few times. I think that she kinda likes him, too.

27. How do the Keepers most frequently communicate when not together (during the first two books)?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Essentials

Answer: A chat room on the Virtual Magic Kingdom website

The Virtual Magic Kingdom provides the Keepers with a secure and easily accessible communication medium at first, although things become harder when the public version of that site is taken down by Disney.

28. During what event do Maybeck, Philby, and Finn follow Maleficent and Jez into Pirates of the Caribbean?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party happens every year during October, several nights during the month. Kids can dress up and trick-or-treat after hours in the park. The nights include a special firework show, a Disney Villains Dance Mix and Mingle, and a special parade.

29. Which cruise do they board in Book V, "Shell Game"?

From Quiz "Kingdom Keepers" Rock!

Answer: Disney Dream

In 2012, when the books was written, the Disney Dream cruise ship was very new and well known. Ridley Pearson, the author of Kingdom Keepers, got to visit the ship in order to collect the information for the book. Many unexpected twists and events happen on board the Disney Dream cruise ship.

30. What happens when Maybeck, Philby, and Finn find Maleficent?

From Quiz Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Answer: She throws fireballs at them and puts a magic electric cage around them
