Good idea; I would have put in the Grob and Nimzo-Indian, but that's just cos I think they have cool names.

good quiz, but the open and closed games answer can be other things, like King's pawn opening (or game) and the same with the queen's pawn.

Could you have some more forgiving type-ins on KIA? I tried it but I must have misspelled somehow.

Open closed is very vague. e4 e5 can lead to closed game. Kings pawn and queens pawn is more accurate. There is Berlin defence, vienna game and lots of other opening named after city. You can play slav defence, lots of line of Queens gambit declined like ragozin, chigorin, Baltic, tarrasch, semi tarrasch, Marshall etc.
