What/which

Hi;

What/which article should I use before (something)?

Imagine that I just saw someone playing a random game on their iPhone.

What/which game are you playing?

I know that we use 'which' when a choice has been given, but is that always the case? Should I always mention choices that the speaker have when using 'which'?

Me: Where are you from?
You: USA.
Me: What/which state?

Should it be 'which' because we already know how many states the USA has?

You: I'm watching "The Vampire Diaries".
Me: What/which episode?

I have absolutely no idea about this on
