The Apothecary Diaries Quiz — Frequently Asked Questions
How is the The Apothecary Diaries Quiz scored?
You earn base points for every correct answer plus a time bonus for answering quickly. Consecutive correct answers build a streak multiplier up to 4×, and clearing a level without mistakes ("Perfect Level") awards an extra bonus. Your final score is the total across all 10 levels.
How many questions and levels are there?
Each run is 50 questions split into 10 levels of 5 questions each. Difficulty ramps as you climb — the early levels cover core lore, while the later ones test deep canon, backstory, and quote attribution.
How do lives and the timer work?
You start with 3 lives; each wrong answer costs one, and losing all three ends the run. Every question has a countdown timer (with a little more time on higher levels), so faster answers earn more points.
What are the power-ups?
Three power-ups help when you're stuck: 50/50 removes two wrong options, Skip jumps a tough question, and Extra Time adds seconds to the clock. They're limited, so save them for the hardest questions.
Is the The Apothecary Diaries Quiz free to play?
Yes — it's completely free and no signup is required to play. A free account is optional and only needed to save your score to the leaderboard and track your daily streak across devices.
What the The Apothecary Diaries quiz actually asks
All 50 questions are written by hand and checked against canon — none are generated or scraped from other quiz sites. They break down as 20 easy, 20 medium and 10 hard, dealt out across ten levels so the difficulty climbs as you go rather than jumping around.
Names, relationships, roles and backstory — who is who, and how they connect.
Events, arcs and turning points, in the order they actually happen.
Places, organisations and the geography the story moves through.
Techniques, power systems and their limits — the rules of the world.
Who said it, and when. The category most people lose a life to.

The hard tier is where most runs end. It leans on quotesand on detail that only sticks if you watched closely — exact names, the order events happened in, and who actually said a given line rather than who it sounds like. Recognising a character is not the same as remembering their technique’s name, and the last three levels are built on that difference.
