Game of Thrones – Should the TV Series Be Watched Before Playing?

game-of-thrones

I have purchased the Game of Thrones (Telltale game, all episodes) but haven't got around to watching the TV series. I understand that the game includes characters from the TV series.

Do I need to watch up to a specific episode of the TV series before playing the game (to understand the game's plot)?

Will I encounter any spoilers by playing the game before watching the TV series?

Best Answer

Telltale's Game of Thrones begins at the end of Season 3 and includes major spoilers for episodes up to and including Season 4 Episode 2 "The Lion and the Rose". I would strongly recommend watching at least up to this point before playing.

The game also assumes the viewer is somewhat familiar with the Game of Thrones setting and its characters.
