PC Gamer quiz challenges players to identify games-within-games
A new PC Gamer quiz tests gaming knowledge by showing screenshots of minigames and asking players to name the parent game. The quiz focuses on nested games like Triple Triad, Gwent, and Poker implementations.
PC Gamer has released a gaming trivia quiz centered on games-within-games, asking players to identify the source title from screenshots of minigames and nested gameplay experiences.
The quiz highlights the appeal of well-designed sidequest games that can derail main campaigns. Triple Triad from Final Fantasy VIII is cited as an example that also appeared in the MMO Final Fantasy XIV. Gwent, the card game from The Witcher 3, is mentioned as particularly engrossing, with the quiz creator noting it as a reason for still not completing the main story.
The quiz includes both straightforward implementations of real-world games like Poker and Blackjack, as well as original card games designed specifically for their host titles. Players have 10 minutes to complete the challenge. PC Gamer offers additional gaming trivia quizzes covering topics including health bars, in-game currencies, and patch notes.
