From retro classics to modern franchises — how well do you know gaming?
7 quizzesVideo games are the defining entertainment medium of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries — and one of the most misunderstood. Gaming began with the blinking pixels of Pong in 1972 and has evolved into a global industry larger than cinema and music combined, producing narrative experiences of genuine artistic depth alongside competitive spectacles that fill stadiums and stream to millions.
The medium has produced its own mythologies: Mario, Link, Master Chief, Lara Croft, Geralt of Rivia — characters as recognisable to their generation as any film icon. Gaming also gave the world entirely new genres of social experience, from the persistent online worlds of MMORPGs to the split-second decision-making of esports, where the best players compete at levels of skill that defy casual understanding.
This category covers gaming history, iconic franchises and characters, consoles and hardware, and esports. Whether you grew up with a cartridge in hand or discovered gaming through a smartphone screen, whether your era was the NES or the PlayStation 5, there are quizzes here that will test your knowledge of the games, studios, and stories that built one of the world's most influential creative industries.
