13:30: Q2 (Sounds & Screen): The Assassin’s Creed film starred Michael Fassbender as the Assassin Callum Lynch, who clashes with Templar Grand Master Alan Rikken, played by this actor, known for other villainous roles including a scheming lion, a literary child molester, and the brother of an exceptional thief.

21:05: Q3 (Sports & Games): The original Assassin’s Creed game was initially developed as a spinoff in which you played as an assassin protecting the title character of this other Ubisoft series, which is set in the same general geographic area.

28:39: Q4 (Arts & Literature): One of the best features of Assassin’s Creed II was the puzzle-oriented Assassin Tomb levels, one of which was located in Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica, which happens to be one of the world’s most famous examples of this style of architecture, particularly known for its large domes.

36:25: Q5 (Times & Places): As its subtitle suggests, Assassin’s Creed IV takes place during the “Golden Age” of this activity.

42:40: Q6 (Science): Among the many real-life historical figures encountered in the Assassin’s Creed games is this Victorian-era man, who considered himself principally a teacher of the deaf, though he is best remembered for a particular invention.
