Test your knowledge of Twenty One Pilots's biggest hits, deep cuts and iconic moments.

The Blurryface singles give themselves away fast: the piano of 'Stressed Out', the reggae lilt of 'Ride', the dark bounce of 'Heathens'. These are the anthems that open the round before the harder cuts arrive.
The stories behind the songs are where the curveballs hide: a band name pulled from an Arthur Miller play, a Grammy accepted in their underwear, and a walled city called Dema that ties the albums together.
Twenty One Pilots songs sort into tiers: the Blurryface hits most players nail, the tracks that swap genres mid-song, the pre-fame deep cuts, and the Dema-era lore. Find where your ear starts to slip.
Most players lock these in fast: 'Stressed Out', 'Ride' and 'Tear in My Heart' from Blurryface, plus 'Heathens' from the Suicide Squad soundtrack. They are the radio staples and the easy points that open any Twenty One Pilots quiz.
This is the axis that catches people out. 'Holding On to You' moves from rap to reggae to rock, 'Car Radio' climbs from spoken word to a scream, and 'Heavydirtysoul' fires rapid rap over a rock beat. Pull a clip from the wrong bar and you will guess the wrong genre.
The Clique pulls ahead on the early catalog: 'Trees' and 'Migraine' from Vessel, 'Ode to Sleep', and Regional at Best tracks the band later took offline. Naming one of these from a short clip is a top-tier score.
Twenty One Pilots run a story across albums: the black-and-red world of Blurryface, the walled city of Dema on Trench, the bright turn of Scaled and Icy, and the finish on Clancy. Placing a song in its era is where lore fans clean up.
Because the genre changes inside the song. A clip from the verse of 'Holding On to You' sounds like reggae, while the same track ends in rock, so guessing from one section can point you at the wrong band.
Expect the Blurryface hits 'Stressed Out', 'Ride' and 'Tear in My Heart', the Suicide Squad single 'Heathens', and 'Car Radio' and 'Chlorine', with deep cuts mixed in to separate the fans.
Only if you go past the singles. Naming early cuts like 'Trees' or 'Ode to Sleep' and placing a song in its Trench or Clancy era is what turns a good score into a perfect one.
Twenty One Pilots are a duo, singer and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun, from Columbus, Ohio. Tyler started the project in 2009 and it settled as a two-piece in 2011.
Not for the hits. But the Trench and Clancy narrative, set in a walled city ruled by nine bishops, is where superfans place a song in its era and pull ahead.
