Abstract
Quiz games are played on platforms such as television game shows, radio game shows, and recently, on mobile apps. In this study, HQ Trivia and SongPop 2 were chosen as the benchmark. Each game data have been collected for the analysis and the game refinement measure was employed for the assessment that focuses on different elimination tournament system for each sample. The results show that games such as HQ Trivia, which applies single-round elimination tournament, has a lower value of game refinement, in which the game is highly skillfull. Meanwhile, games that apply a round-robin system, such as SongPop 2 have a higher value of game refinement, in which the game is very stochastic. SongPop 2 and HQ Trivia both have more than 5 million downloads in Google Play Store. It is concluded that different types of quiz games which apply different kinds of tournament style have different game refinement value.
Highlights
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines knowledge as the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association [1]
By applying game refinement theory to quiz games by using an appropriate game model, this study focuses on two main research goals: 1) to find the reason why quiz games have been popular for such a long time and 2) to identify comfortable settings of quiz games
The American Heritage Dictionary mentions that in 1782, quiz was apparently an unrelated slang word that meant an odd person or an eccentric person; this definition was originally derived from the term quizzical [14]
Summary
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines knowledge as the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association [1]. Ricci et al investigated the effects a gaming approach on knowledge and retention in military trainees, which shows that participants assigned to game condition scored significantly higher on a retention test than those assigned to the text condition [2] This indicates that people receive information better within game condition compared to the usual paper-based questionand-answer form (test). Some of them make the quiz game much more challenging by limiting the time, treating that as a goal to answer the questions as fast as possible Another main factor is the offer of prize money to the winners, which gameplays mainly apply. The television game shows attract people to participate and watch the players play by correctly answering the questions in the hope of winning the game and returning home with a huge sum of money [11].
