Dennis Haysbert is turning detective work into an interactive fan experience. In a recent Instagram post, the veteran actor teased his latest Trivia Game Vol. 8, challenging viewers to remember the exact crime his character, Frank Page, investigates in the Netflix thriller Secret Obsession.

Dennis Haysbert’s New Netflix Trivia Challenge

“In ‘Secret Obsession’ my character, Frank Page, is investigating a crime. Do you remember what it is? Play my Trivia Game Vol. 8 and find out!” Haysbert captioned alongside a still credited to Jonny Marlow and Netflix. The image shows him in a dimly lit hallway, coat collar up, eyes narrowed—ready to unravel the mystery.

This is the eighth installment of Haysbert’s fan-focused trivia series, which asks viewers to dig into his film and television roles. The actor has previously tapped into this format to revisit fan-favorite parts. In a past post promoting Vol. 8, he wrote, “The internet exploded when I joined the cast of ‘Lucifer.’ Remember my role? Find out when you play Vol. 8 of my Trivia Game!” That edition featured an image also shot by Jonny Marlow, this time with Netflix branding, underscoring Haysbert’s ongoing partnership with streaming platforms.

Inside Secret Obsession

Secret Obsession premiered on Netflix in July 2019. Directed by Peter Sullivan, the psychological thriller stars Brenda Song as Jennifer, a realtor who suffers amnesia after a brutal home invasion. Mike Vogel plays her husband, who may not be who he claims. Haysbert appears as Detective Frank Page, who returns Jennifer’s true identity and probes the violent attack.

While the movie’s marketing focused on Jennifer’s quest to regain her memory, Haysbert’s character quietly follows the breadcrumbs. His detective is methodical, dropping hints about evidence and motive. The Trivia Game asks fans to recall that pivotal crime: was it a gang-related break-in, a personal vendetta, or something darker? Participants must type in the correct answer to complete the quiz.

Beyond the central question, the quiz includes throwback snapshots and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Haysbert’s Instagram feed has become a mini-archive of his career, from blockbuster hits to streaming exclusives.

A Track Record Of Fan Engagement

This isn’t Haysbert’s first foray into interactive posts. His Instagram handle (@dennishaysbert) often features direct audience prompts—whether it’s sharing weekend plans or spotlighting his e-commerce site, dh9store.com, where fans can purchase branded apparel. But the Trivia Game series has gained the most traction, marrying nostalgia with pop-culture recall.

Dennis Haysbert’s career spans four decades, from early roles in Major League (1989) to his Emmy-nominated turn as President David Palmer on 24 (2001–2006). He’s also known for voice-over work with Allstate Insurance and memorable supporting roles in films like Waiting to Exhale (1995) alongside Whitney Houston.

His trivia posts tap into that legacy. For example, a #tbt post reminding followers of his Pedro Cerrano days in Major League sparked comments from fans who still quote his line “Hey, man, the other team is too strong.” Similarly, the Vol. 8 Lucifer quiz created a spike in engagement, with viewers debating whether his cameo was in season two or three.

By linking past roles to fresh content, Haysbert keeps both longtime fans and new viewers invested. It’s a strategy that acknowledges his diverse body of work and leverages social media’s viral potential.

Whether you caught every plot twist in Secret Obsession or binged 24 years ago, Trivia Game Vol. 8 offers a chance to revisit Haysbert’s on-screen moments and test your memory. Head to his Instagram post, play the quiz, and see if your detective instincts match those of Frank Page.

Dennis Haysbert’s blend of nostalgia, mystery, and direct fan interaction reflects a broader shift in celebrity engagement. More stars are looking beyond traditional press tours and talk shows, using social feeds to craft two-way conversations. For Haysbert, that means turning his Netflix role into a participatory whodunit.

Invite friends to play along, compare scores in the comments, and stay tuned for the answer reveal. Just don’t forget: the key crime in Secret Obsession is waiting for you to solve.
