Question 1

True or false: The game world of Sleeping Dogs is a 1:1 scale recreation of the entire city of Hong Kong.

Accepted Answer

False. The map is a fictionalized, condensed version of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, not a full-scale replica—many landmarks are moved or omitted.

Question 2

True or false: The protagonist Wei Shen is an undercover FBI agent infiltrating the Hong Kong Triads.

Accepted Answer

False. Wei Shen is actually an undercover Hong Kong Police officer, not FBI. The setting is modern Hong Kong, not the US.

Question 3

True or false: You can complete the entire main story without ever driving a vehicle.

Accepted Answer

False. Several story missions require driving vehicles, including car chases and races, making it impossible to finish on foot alone.

Question 4

True or false: Sleeping Dogs includes a playable karaoke minigame where Wei Shen sings Cantopop songs.

Accepted Answer

True. At certain nightclubs, Wei can perform karaoke, singing classic Cantopop tunes with on-screen prompts for a fun side activity.

Question 5

True or false: Sleeping Dogs was originally a sequel to the True Crime series called True Crime: Hong Kong.

Accepted Answer

True. Activision canceled the game, but Square Enix revived it and rebranded it as Sleeping Dogs, dropping the True Crime name.

Question 6

True or false: The game's martial arts were motion-captured by real-life MMA fighters and stunt performers.

Accepted Answer

True. United Front Games used professional martial artists and stuntmen for realistic fight animations, including kicks and grapples.

Question 7

True or false: Sleeping Dogs features a unique 'Face' system that affects NPC reactions based on your combat victories.

Accepted Answer

True. The 'Face' system tracks your reputation among Triads and police, but NPCs don't react differently based on combat wins—it's a myth.

Question 8

True or false: A cut mission involved Wei Shen piloting a helicopter to chase a villain across Victoria Harbour.

Accepted Answer

False. No such helicopter mission was ever cut; the game features a notable boat chase but never included flyable helicopters in any version.
