Think you know the headlines of 2025? From the German snap elections to the GTA VI delay, test your knowledge with this challenging 20-question news IQ quiz.
You may know who won the election or which movies topped the box office, but how much of the fine print did you read in 2025? This was a year defined not just by big events, but by the specific details: the exact dates of political upheavals, the surprising delays in the tech world, and the specific cities that hosted global summits. It was a year where "later than expected" became a common theme for video games and space missions alike.
This "Advanced" edition of the News IQ test is designed to separate the casual scrollers from the deep readers. We've adjusted the difficulty to challenge your memory of the specifics—names, dates, and locations that might have slipped your mind. Can you beat the average?
