Can you name the game this game-within-a-game is from?
PC Gamer has launched a new quiz designed to test players’ knowledge of games-within-games—minigames and embedded gaming experiences found within larger titles. Rather than focusing on standalone minigame collections, the quiz specifically challenges players to identify the source games of these secondary gaming experiences.
The publication highlights Triple Triad, the card game featured in Final Fantasy 8, as a prime example of this category. Notably, Triple Triad proved so popular with players that it was subsequently integrated into Final Fantasy 14, the long-running MMO. PC Gamer describes these types of embedded games as engaging diversions that can significantly extend gameplay time, sometimes consuming entire gaming sessions as players focus on completing these side activities.
The quiz represents part of PC Gamer’s broader collection of gaming trivia offerings. The publication regularly produces quizzes covering diverse gaming topics, from health bars and UI elements to unusual in-game currencies and notable patch notes, testing readers’ depth of gaming knowledge across various genres and titles.
