The Twelve Trials is a puzzle and promotional website celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Assassin's Creed series. Over the course of 3 months, from 14 June–12 September 2022, players are invited to answer 10 weekly trivia questions about the games to earn entries in a grand prize draw for an all-expenses-paid, one-week trip to Italy for two any time between April–June 2023.[1]
The 15th anniversary roadmap lasted the contest's duration
The contest is open to everyone worldwide who is 18 years of age or older, excluding residents in the Canadian province of Quebec. Upon visiting the game site, players are prompted to sign in to their Ubisoft Connect account to keep track of which questions they answered correctly and to see how they fare in the leaderboards. From there, they have one week to answer trivia on that week's profiled main game, working in reverse chronological order of the series' releases, starting with 2020's Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and ending with 2007's Assassin's Creed.[1]
Answering all the questions correctly earns one entry in a draw for that week's prize of an Assassin's Creed statue, with the exception of Weeks 6 and 7, which will reward an Assassin's Creed game[1] and a themed[2] gaming chair[3] and desk[4] by Secretlab, respectively. Ten correct answers will also give one entry for the grand prize draw. For players who do not have a Ubisoft account, they can also submit their answers by email to "AC15quiz@ubisoft.com", so long as it is within the week that the questions were live. However, this alternate entry method is limited to adults in the United States and Canada only, and comes with the condition that these players cannot then create a Ubisoft account and submit future answers from there, nor can players who already have an account also submit their answers by email in attempt to earn more entries.[1]

Fight your way through Assassin's Creed 3 and Liberation to discover ten tales from the Revolutionary War. Knowledge is power. How well do you know this title?
In the eighth Assassin's Creed: Valhalla question, it asks for the translation of the Old Norse term sýn, which is the root for the name of Eivor's raven "Sýnin". Although the official answers say that the correct response is "vision", Sýnin's name was described both in-universe in the memory "The Hunting Grounds" and by Creative Director Ashraf Ismail during Valhalla's promotional marketing as meaning "insight",[17] which is another possible trivia answer.
In the tenth Assassin's Creed: Origins question, the title cards for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed: Rogue displayed the wrong characters, with the Colonial Templar Shay Cormac labelled as being in Black Flag and the pirate Edward Kenway seeming to appear in Rogue. However, Shay was born in 1731 once the Golden Age of Piracy had ended, while Edward was long dead by the time of the Seven Years' War depicted in Rogue and was only mentioned in passing. This error lasted the duration of the week players could answer the Origins trivia questions and was not fixed by the time the quiz closed in preparation for the Syndicate set.
In the third Assassin's Creed: Unity question, each of the suggested dates for the Women's March on Versailles are also the dates for events either seen elsewhere in Assassin's Creed or referenced in supplementary media. 5 September, 1781 was the date for the Battle of the Chesapeake as seen in Assassin's Creed III; 5 October, 1789 was the Women's March in Unity; and 5 November, 1605 was Guy Fawkes' failed attempt to blow up the Palace of Westminster in the Gunpowder Plot, which was mentioned in James Morse's emails on Abstergo.com after then-junior professor Shaun Hastings used Fawkes' name as an alias to leak information on Abstergo Industries.
In the tenth Assassin's Creed: Rogue question, it mentions the player collecting the scattered pages of Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac. Although it would still have a few years left in its circulation each time Franklin met Shay in the mid-1750s, the question and accompanying picture are anachronistic to the series' internal history, as that activity is instead started by Haytham Kenway in the Seven Years' War and completed by his son Ratonhnhaké:ton in the American Revolution.
The image in the seventh Black Flag question is a horizontally flipped promotional screenshot, as Edward's robes always have his pistol bandoleer cross from his right shoulder to his left hip, rather than from his left shoulder to his right hip as presented.
In the fourth Assassin's Creed III question, each of the suggested names for Ratonhnhaké:ton's mission with Paul Revere are memories from different stages of the American Revolutionary War. "Unconvinced" is set in the prelude of the Seven Years' War, "The Midnight Ride" happens at the war's start, and "Alternate Methods" occurs when the war has been underway for a year. Additionally the accompanying image has Ratonhnhaké:ton inexplicably wearing Altaïr's robes. With the exception of Al Mualim's black robes with grey detail and red trim, all members of the Levantine Brotherhood wore plain white fabric made in a standardized fashion, noticeably lacking both the larger beak and its embossed eagle on the more open hood of Ratonhnhaké:ton's robes, the comparatively bulkier arms and cuffs of an 18th-century full dress uniform, and the beaded arm band denoting Ratonhnhaké:ton's ties to the Kanien'kehá:ka. This error lasted the duration of the week players could answer the Assassin's Creed III trivia questions and was not fixed by the time the quiz closed in preparation for the Revelations set.
