Trivia Game Appeal by Mason Ross

Trivia Game Appeal explores the captivating nature of trivia games by examining the cognitive benefits, psychological underpinnings, and social dynamics involved.
The book illustrates how trivia satisfies fundamental human desires for knowledge, social connection, and intellectual stimulation.
For example, the dopamine rush from answering questions correctly highlights the psychology of motivation within gameplay, while the book also suggests that trivia builds communities and creates shared experiences.

The book progresses across four parts, from introducing core concepts of knowledge retention to examining psychological factors and social dimensions.
Supported by research in cognitive, educational, and game theory, Trivia Game Appeal uniquely integrates these disciplines to explain trivia's enduring popularity.
It's valuable for educators, psychologists, and game designers seeking insights into the psychology of learning, motivation, and social interaction.
