About This Quiz
If you haven’t already read the story, the TV series Outlander probably shocked and surprised you. It hooked most of us from the first episodes of season one. (But, for some, it may have taken until the second season to get fully intrigued, which was based on Dragonfly in Amber).
The stars of the cast make it look easy, but the crazy plot of the books should let you know just how hard it would be to last in their world. So take this quiz and find out how long you’d survive as a time-traveler in the Outlander series Diana Gabaldon created and Ronald D. Moore adapted for the screen.
Outlander
The Starz show Outlander is based on the original book series by Diana Gabaldon. We've all sighed over the epic romance between Claire and Jamie (Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan) and spent some of the time between seasons wondering how we would handle the trip back in time to 18th-century Scotland.
It's exciting to imagine having the training as a combat nurse like Claire Randall–or the detailed knowledge of Scottish history that Roger Wakefield has. From characters like Jack Randall and Jamie Fraser, the harsh world of the Outlander drama is truly riveting content.
