QUIZ: How would you die (and you will) in ‘Game of Thrones’?

Game Of Thrones was almost definitely the most talked about show of the 2010s. But the show’s bloodthirsty core was hard to ignore. So how would you die in Game of Thrones?

With each new season of Game of Thrones you were guaranteed an awful lot of sex and an awful lot of death. Perhaps the rife sex and violence was the show’s way of maintaining equilibrium. Killed off too many characters? Just write in some sexy times and, voila, some new characters!

Whatever the case, Game of Thrones hit on a very successful formula. The HBO fantasy epic won 58 Emmy Awards across its eight seasons. That’s nearly one for every episode. The show’s weekly roll out also led to a kind of communal synchronicity rarely seen in these fragmented, highly individualised times.

GOT was almost definitely the most talked about show of the 2010s. It also won critical praise for its casting – Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister was a particular favourite – and cinematic production values. But the show’s bloodthirsty core was hard to ignore.

Based on George R. R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ books, the TV series focused on the noble families of the Seven Kingdoms duelling for control of the Iron Throne. Leading the violent atrocities were the noble houses of Stark, Arryn, Tully, Baratheon, Lannister, Tyrell and Martell, plus Greyjoy and Targaryen.

Super-fan would be an understatement for the sort of devotee groomed by Game of Thrones. And if you count yourself among the global contingent of GOT obsessives, then you’ve probably speculated on how you’d fare on the continent of Wetseros.

So how would you die? First we’ve got to figure out your ideal home town. Is it King’s Landing, Winterfell, Dorne, The River Lands, Bravos or Slavers Bay/Dragons Bay? What about your preferred tipple – is it a cold beer, a glass of wine, , water with ice, or a cocktail? Take our quiz to determine how you’d die.
