Resident Evil 1 Trivia Questions

1. What is the name of the enemies that pursue and eventually force you into the Spencer Mansion?

From Quiz
General "Resident Evil" (1996) Quiz

Answer: Cerberus

The Cerberus was a very early attempt at creating a controllable B.O.W. (Bio Organic Weapon) and its development code was "MA-39".

2. Cerberus is another name for which infected animal found in the game?

From Quiz Spelling It Out - "Resident Evil" (GCN)

Answer: Dog

Although all of these creatures are found to be infected by the T-Virus outbreak in the Spencer Estate, the dogs are perhaps the most deadly due to their speed and tendency to attack in groups of two or more. Nicknamed Cerberus after three-headed dog of Hell, you'll usually only find them outside (though sometimes you'll be ambushed when they break through the windows). An early puzzle has you use a dog whistle to attract a canine you need in order to secure its collar, but the item is discarded soon after.

3. Well, there were supposed to be a bunch of little, old, silver keys to help you search around this place (sorry, they're missing). Who would've likely taken them?

From Quiz Taking Stock of the Spencer Mansion

Answer: Chris

Old Keys are few and far between, but they're extremely important. Used to ramp up the difficulty in Chris' campaign, these keys are used to open doors otherwise unlockable with the lockpick. There are only five of these keys throughout the game and all five are found within the mansion itself. Fortunately, they're not the most important keys in the game. Aside from Old Keys, there are four other keys in the mansion used by both Chris and Jill and they're used repeatedly. Once these keys are used on as many doors as they can unlock, they are discarded and don't take up space in your inventory.

4. The game begins with a choice between playing as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine. Who has more inventory space?

From Quiz "Resident Evil"

Answer: Jill

Before even commencing the game, you need to make a choice in difficulty (the more difficult Mountain Climbing route or the easier Hiking route) and a choice of character. When you choose either Chris or Jill, you're also choosing another difficulty level; Jill is the easier of the two because she begins with a lockpick (given by Barry) and runs through the game with eight inventory slots (versus Chris' six). She can take less hits because her defense is less than Chris', but she also gets different weapons. Both campaigns run through the same motions, but at certain junctions the player must utilize the help of different skills (eg. Jill's piano playing) or companions (eg. Rebecca Chambers in Chris' campaign) to get through the horror. After selecting your character, it becomes July 1998. The location is a seemingly deserted mansion in Raccoon Forest. You're a member of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. Enter the survival horror.

5. Who was flying Alpha team's helicopter at the beginning of the game?

From Quiz Enter Survival Horror

Answer: Brad Vickers

Enrico isn't even on Alpha team. Joseph Frost is the first to be killed outside by the Cerberus. Barry was on the ground with the rest of the team. Brad earned the nickname "Chicken Heart" by flying away when faced with danger.

6. What is the name of the mansion?

From Quiz Resident Evil 1

Answer: The Spencer Mansion & Spencer Mansion & Spencer Estate & The Spencer Estate

The game opens on July 24, 1998 in Raccoon City, where there have been numerous murders on the outskirts of the town. People have been attacked in their homes by a group of flesh eaters. Bravo Team were sent in to investigate, but when all contact was lost Alpha Team was sent in to find Bravo Team and continue the investigation.

7. "We continued our search for the other members and it turned into a nightmare."

From Quiz "Resident Evil" Quotes

Answer: Chris Redfield

Chris says this line in the beginning intro movie of the game. Chris narrates their journey from the start of their mission to their arrival at the mansion.

8. What color is Jill's S.T.A.R.S uniform?

From Quiz "Resident Evil 1" Costumes

Answer: blue

Jill wears a standard S.T.A.R.S uniform in blue, complete with a beret and shoulder pads. This costume is also an unlockable costume in "Resident Evil 3".

9. When is the game set?

From Quiz "Resident Evil" for the Gamecube

Answer: July 1998

At the beginning of the game, the month and the year are shown in the top left corner of the screen. This is when Bravo's helicopter crashed and the Alpha team was sent in to investigate.

10. What are the defense weapons that Jill can use?

From Quiz "Resident Evil" Remake Weapons

Answer: Daggers and the stun gun

Since Jill's game is much easier than Chris' they gave her the less powerful defense weapons. You can retrieve the daggers back if you decapitate a zombie.

11. This main enemy was formed by infecting humans with the T-Virus. What is the enemy called?

From Quiz The "Resident Evil" Enemy Guide

Answer: Zombie

After the Spencer Estate was contaminated, the workers were left under quarantine until they got their cravings for human flesh. Now, all of the residents are the walking dead. Once you kill a zombie, you either need to burn them or decapitate them. To burn them, you'll need the oil/kerosene canteen and a lighter. A good idea is to pile the zombies on top of another so you use less kerosene. Another method of preventing the redead from living for a third time is to shoot them with Incendiary Rounds from your Grenade Launcher.

12. Which S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team member was recently promoted from the Bravo Team?

From Quiz "Resident Evil" S.T.A.R.S. Characters

Answer: Joseph Frost

Joseph was promoted by Albert Wesker to be the Alpha Team's vehicle specialist.

13. The first zombie you see is eating someone on the floor. Who is being eaten?

From Quiz "Resident Evil 1" for Gamecube

Answer: Kenneth

When you enter the room where he is being eaten, the game cuts into a cinema scene where it actually shows him being eaten. If you pick up his tape at the time, you can watch it later on in the game (the tape of his death, pretty gruesome).

14. What did Jill almost become if Barry never saved her from the falling ceiling trap?

From Quiz General "Resident Evil" (1996) Quiz

Answer: A Jill Sandwich

"Resident Evil" is notorious for its bad voice acting, and arguably the most famous line is "you were almost a Jill Sandwich". If you play as Chris, no one will save you and you are forced to complete the broken Shotgun puzzle in order to survive the falling ceiling.

15. An almost arbitrary Golden Arrow shows up at one point, but really you only need which part of it?

From Quiz Seemingly Useless "Resident Evil" Items

Answer: The arrowhead

Very early in the game in the Spencer Mansion, Chris/Jill will need to locate a golden arrow protruding from the chest of a statue in a second-floor hallway, and while it seems like it would be a useless item, the arrowhead, made from a green stone, is actually useful-- it slots into a grave-marker in the Spencer Cemetery (off the main lobby) and opens it up, leading down into an eerie crypt where one of the main puzzles of the mansion can be found.

16. Rebecca Chambers appears in Chris' campaign. If you're poisoned, what will she give you?

From Quiz "Resident Evil"

Answer: Serum

While Rebecca can prove to be a bit...erm...weak and cowardly at times, she does end up being a minor help in Chris' campaign. This is particularly odd since she survived the entirety of the prequel, "Resident Evil Zero" without succumbing to ineptitude with firearms. In Chris' campaign her primary role is as a nurse and as a pianist; she is able to treat wounds and poison if the situation arises (she even stays in a medical room in the mansion for a time) and she even plays the "Moonlight Sonata" during a puzzle sequence. When playing as Jill, Rebecca's services are not needed. Rebecca does not appear in Jill's campaign.

17. In the Mansion in the small room with the tiger statue, you need to place two gems in the eye sockets to reveal either shotgun shells or a MO Disk. What color are the gems you place in it?

From Quiz "Resident Evil: REmake" Puzzles

Answer: Yellow and Blue

You find the Blue Gem after pushing the statue off the 2nd floor Dining Room, which reveals shotgun shells. The Yellow gem is found in the Trophy Room and reveals a MO Disk. The Red gem is used to open a Jewelry Box.

18. Whose voice narrates the opening scene?

From Quiz Enter Survival Horror

Answer: Chris Redfield

Chris Redfield has made two other appearences in the "Resident Evil" series. He is playable in the second portion of "Resident Evil: Code Veronica X", and he takes up the lead role alongside Sheva Alomar in "Resident Evil 5".

19. Which member of Alpha Team is killed first?

From Quiz Resident Evil 1

Answer: Joseph Frost

Alpha Team manages to locate the Bravo Team helicopter but it is destroyed. There is no sign of any survivors; all that is found is a severed hand. Suddenly Alpha Team is attacked by vicious dogs which manage to kill Joseph Frost. The rest of the team flees to the Spencer Mansion, which is believed to be abandoned.

20. Keeping on the theme of fallen STARS members, what was the name of the guy who was found outside of the room where you encounter the giant snake for the first time?

From Quiz The Original "Resident Evil"

Answer: Richard

His name was Richard. Should I stop and ponder the irony about a man named Richard being killed by a giant snake? Nah. Barry was your friend who gave you the shotgun, we see Kenneth getting eaten in the beginning of the game and Mitchell, was a bad movie starring Joe Don Baker.

21. "Blood. Let's just hope it isn't Chris'."

From Quiz "Resident Evil" Quotes

Answer: Barry Burton

After Barry and Jill examine the hall, Barry notices some blood near a fireplace. He inspects it and hopes that the blood is not that of their comrade, Chris.

22. Jill dons a different costume when you beat the game with her once. This army costume has her wearing what around her eyes?

From Quiz "Resident Evil 1" Costumes

Answer: goggles

This army costume can be unlocked if you beat the game once. She wears a green tank top, grey army pants, a black cap, and orange goggles. This costume was inspired by Sarah Connor from the movie "Terminator 2: Judgement Day".

23. What is the caliber of the magnum revolver you can use in the game?

From Quiz "Resident Evil" Remake Weapons

Answer: .357

This weapon should be reserved for the tougher battles in the later parts of the game. It will decapitate a zombie in one shot most of the time.

24. The Umbrella Corporation also experimented by using the T-Virus on dogs. What is the dog-like creation called?

From Quiz The "Resident Evil" Enemy Guide

Answer: Cerberus

Cerberus' charge at your character and will either bite your arm or throat. The shotgun is a powerful weapon to use, but it's also good to use the handgun. Then again, a shot from a rocket launcher could do the trick too if you happen to acquire one.

25. Who is the vehicle specialist for the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team?

From Quiz "Resident Evil" S.T.A.R.S. Characters

Answer: Forest Speyer

Although unconfirmed, it is most likely Forest was assigned as the Bravo Team's vehicle specialist after Joseph Frost was promoted to the Alpha Team. Forest also serves as the Bravo Team sniper.

26. Which door does the Shield key open?

From Quiz "Resident Evil 1" for Gamecube

Answer: Door to Yawn

You must obtain the Shield key by obtaining the gold shield emblem. When that is placed above the fireplace in the dining room, you can get it when you change the gears in the clock. That is the only door it opens.

27. What is the name of the mysterious new beast you first see in a cabin in the woods?

From Quiz "Resident Evil" for Gamecube

Answer: Lisa Trevor

Lisa is an experiment gone wrong, or right some might say. She and her mother were held captive and tortured with horrible experiments. She remains an invincible enemy of grotesque proportions.

28. How does Richard Aiken die?

From Quiz General "Resident Evil" (1996) Quiz

Answer: He succumbs to poison from Yawn's attacks.

Richard Aiken was a member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team as a communications expert. It is impossible to save him with the required serum as, no matter how fast you are, he will die regardless.

29. In Jill's campaign, Barry gives her a lockpick. This prevents her from needing what otherwise cumbersome item found in Chris' campaign?

From Quiz "Resident Evil"

Answer: Small Key

The Small Key is quite interesting in that it actually takes up space in Chris' six-space inventory; one key per slot. In other words, all of those desk drawers and doors that require Small Keys will prove a bit more frustrating. But such is the benefit of knowing Barry Burton. Barry gives freebies to Jill throughout the game (perhaps he thinks she's Rebecca?) including ammo, health items, and the ever-useful lockpick. This allows Jill to get through a number of doors early on in the Spencer Mansion and saves valuable inventory space. You know. From Small Keys. Small Keys which fill the same space as a Grenade Launcher. Oh yeah, Jill gets one of those too, and Barry gives her some rounds for it. Perks!

30. In the Mansion in the Bar, you play a piano piece to open a section of the wall to get to a secret area. What piano piece do you play?

From Quiz "Resident Evil: REmake" Puzzles

Answer: Moonlight Sonata

In the hidden area is the Gold Emblem, which is used to get the Shield Key. You need to bring the regular Emblem with you to replace it with, or you'll be trapped.
