Star Trek: The Original Series (Dorky Round)

All our quizzes (and episodes) come in three rounds: Dorky, Geeky, and Nerdy. Each round is harder than the last. With the quizzes, you can take as much time as you like to answer each question, then click on the question to reveal the answer. If you’re looking for something more active with a timer, be sure to listen to the podcast for new content every Wednesday.

If you are enjoying the quizzes, please let us know. We’re always looking for feedback on the question quality, difficulty, and any suggestions for new topics.
