Iron Maiden Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

An Iron Maiden quiz rewards two ears: one for Steve Harris's galloping bass, one for the history lesson hidden in the lyrics. Guess the Iron Maiden song from 'Run to the Hills', 'The Trooper' and 'The Number of the Beast', then test your trivia on the battles and books behind them, since 'The Trooper' charges through Crimea and 'Aces High' flies the Battle of Britain. Name the ghoul Eddie on nearly every sleeve, tell 1982 from 1984, and find out how well you know the band Bruce Dickinson fronts.

The singles you name from the first bars (easy points)

'Run to the Hills', '2 Minutes to Midnight' and 'The Trooper' are the ones most players name from the first few bars. Steve Harris's galloping bass on 'Run to the Hills' and the harmonized guitar gallop of 'The Trooper' are the fastest tells, so casual fans bank quick points here before the longer epics arrive.

The history and books behind the lyrics (where superfans pull ahead)

Iron Maiden writes from the library. 'Run to the Hills' takes the view of the American West, 'The Trooper' charges through the Crimean War's Light Brigade, and 'Aces High' flies the Battle of Britain. Name the event under the song and you pull ahead of the room.

Spotting Eddie across the sleeves

The ghoul Eddie fronts nearly every cover, from the debut to 'The Number of the Beast' and 'Powerslave'. A picture round often shows the mascot rather than the band, so matching each Eddie guise to its album is its own quiz lane.

The long epics that close the night

'Hallowed Be Thy Name', 'Fear of the Dark' and 'Powerslave' run far past single length and shift tempo mid-song. A guess-the-track round leans on these, since the intro can sound nothing like the part everyone sings back at the show.
