2) What is the setting for most of the events in Glass Onion?
Correct Answer: A private island in Greece
The story unfolds on the lavish private island of tech mogul Miles Bron. Located in Greece, the island serves as the perfect setting for a murder mystery game-turned-real. The location is as much a character as the people themselves, full of opulence, secrets, and — of course — a literal glass onion-shaped structure.

3) Who is the billionaire tech mogul who hosts the murder mystery party?
Correct Answer: Miles Bron
Miles Bron, played by Edward Norton, is a parody of modern tech billionaires — egotistical, manipulative, and reckless. He invites his eclectic group of friends for a “game” weekend that quickly spirals out of control. His character becomes central to the unfolding mystery and its social commentary on wealth and power.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
4) What is the name of the mysterious energy source Miles is developing?
Correct Answer: Klear
Klear is an experimental hydrogen-based energy source developed by Miles and pushed toward mass deployment, despite safety concerns. Its volatile nature mirrors Miles’s own recklessness, and its presence plays a key role in the story’s climax — particularly in the destructive finale.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
5) Which character is revealed to have been murdered before the events of the island?
Correct Answer: Andi Brand
Andi Brand, Miles’s former business partner, was murdered prior to the island events. Her death is initially covered up, and it is her twin sister Helen who infiltrates the group to uncover the truth. Andi’s stolen legacy and mysterious absence drive the entire investigation forward.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
6) Who is Andi’s twin sister, who attends the island gathering undercover?
Correct Answer: Helen Brand
Helen Brand, portrayed by Janelle Monáe in a dual role, impersonates her sister to investigate her murder. Her presence provides the film’s emotional heart, and the flashbacks reveal a layered timeline that reframes earlier scenes and characters. Helen’s transformation from outsider to avenger is a highlight of the story.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
7) What object contains the napkin that proves Miles stole the company idea?
Correct Answer: A glass sculpture
The original napkin with Andi’s handwritten plans for the tech company is hidden in a glass sculpture. This crucial piece of evidence proves that Miles stole the idea and ousted her. Its eventual destruction — and the desperation it triggers in Miles — becomes the turning point of the mystery.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
8) Which character is a controversial men’s rights streamer?
Correct Answer: Duke Cody
Played by Dave Bautista, Duke Cody is a flashy and problematic online personality known for his extreme views. He becomes an unwitting pawn in Miles’s scheme, and his fate serves as a turning point in the plot’s escalation. His obsession with clicks and clout also adds a layer of satire to the ensemble.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
9) What ultimately exposes Miles as the killer?
Correct Answer: Burning the original napkin
Miles’s destruction of the napkin is what truly reveals his guilt — not just to Helen and Blanc, but to his entire friend group. When he burns the one undeniable piece of evidence, he reveals that he has everything to lose — and no moral boundaries. His actions are his own undoing, both literally and symbolically.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
10) What is symbolically destroyed in the film’s climax?
Correct Answer: The Mona Lisa
In one of the film’s most jaw-dropping moments, the Mona Lisa — on loan to Miles thanks to his connections — is incinerated in the explosion of Klear. Its destruction represents not only Miles’s downfall, but also a broader critique of arrogance, legacy, and the blind pursuit of prestige. It’s a climactic image that closes the case with style and shock.
