King's Questions

King's Questions is a game played in the world of Daventry, where people ask questions based on trivia about facts surrounding the Royal family, or history of world of Daventry. The Captain of Alexander's ship enjoyed playing the game to pass the time when he took Alexander and Cassima between the Green Isles to Daventry, to visit the royal family, not long after KQ6. Unbeknownst to them however the game became linked to the magic waters around the ship, determining their fate (luckily the Captain's knowledge was sound and they made it to Daventry safely).

Behind the scenes
King's Quests is a game of King's Quest Trivia that was included with copies of the King's Quest Collection. Randomly generated, each game presents a different set of twelve questions. Your ship moves forward one space and earn a point for each question answered, showing your progress toward Daventry.

All questions relate to Wizard and the Princess, and King's Quest 1-6.

The game included obscure trivia and background information derived from other sources besides the the games. For example it is one of the sources that states that Hagatha was Mordack and Manannan's sister even though the manuals and adventure games never mention that fact. The backstory to the game is that;

"'You are the captain of the ship that carries Alexander and Cassima from the Green Isles to Daventry. To help pass the time the three of you engage in a rousing game of 'King's Questions', unaware that the magic waters through which you sail link the outcome of the game with the fate of your ship.'"

The captain having played the game has a safe journey, and the ship makes it back to Daventry high and dry.

While the game may have an backstory that fits into King's Quest continuity, not every question fits into the King's Quest universe exactly. As there are references within questions that are not related to King's Quest at all (usually presented as wrong answers, or correct answer in the case they ask a question as to what is not from king's quest). Also the fact that many of the questions directly reference the games by their numbered titles, which would also not necessarily fit into regular King's Quest continuity. It can be assumed that in the actual game played by the people of Daventry, that the questions do not involve other franchise references(at least not so blatantly), nor would the questions refer to various trivia surrounding the Royal Family by the title of the game that the trivia originated from. It could also be assumed there would be questions pertaining to events and trivia pertaining to events that took place between the various released stories.
