PC Gamer has released a new quiz that challenges players to identify the source game of various "games-within-a-game." The quiz focuses on distinct side activities that can consume hours of gameplay, often diverting players from the main campaign.
These in-game diversions range from implementations of real-world pastimes like Poker and Blackjack to more complex and engrossing experiences. The article specifically cites Final Fantasy 8's Triple Triad card game, which also appeared in its MMO spin-off, and The Witcher 3's Gwent as examples of side activities that can become obsessions in themselves. The quiz gives players 10 minutes to identify the main game from a screenshot of its embedded game.
PC Gamer also offers additional quizzes on various PC gaming topics, including healthbars, in-game currencies, and patch notes, available on their website. The publication encourages participants to share their results after completing the challenge.
