🧠 The Maze Runner Quiz

The Glade is described as a roughly square area of about 500 metres on each side, containing everything the boys need to survive — including a farm, a graveyard, and a forest.

Thomas is unusual among the Gladers because he arrives with an instinctive fascination with the maze and quickly becomes a Runner — something that rarely happens to new arrivals.

Grievers are described as slug-like mechanical creatures covered in spikes and blades, and anyone who survives a Griever sting undergoes a painful process called 'the Changing', which partially restores their memories.

The Runners had to memorise every detail of the maze sections they explored each day, as the maze walls shifted every night, making their job both physically and mentally demanding.

Teresa arrives in the Glade in a coma and is the only person Thomas recognises, hinting at their shared past working for the organisation known as WICKED.

WCKD's name is deliberately ironic — the organisation believes its cruel experiments are justified to save humanity from the Flare virus.

Dylan O'Brien was best known for playing Stiles in the TV series Teen Wolf before landing the role of Thomas in The Maze Runner.

The Sun Flares wiped out a large portion of the Earth's population and rendered much of the planet uninhabitable, setting the entire dystopian backdrop of the Maze Runner series in motion.

Each of the maze's 8 sections had a unique layout that shifted every night, meaning the Runners had to re-map sections repeatedly to track the changes.

The Swipe was WCKD's memory-erasure procedure used on all subjects before entering the maze, ensuring they retained skills and intelligence but had no recollection of their past lives.
