Abstract
Digital games have become an integral part of the culture of the new generations. Edutainment and Games Based Learning (GBL) seem to have found their place within the overall educational process, as “traditional teaching” methods are increasingly considered inefficient in providing the required learning outcomes. This paper presents World of Trivia, an online multiplayer game developed within the Facebook environment through the use of the node.js platform, one of the most modern server-side techniques for online gaming. The game presented retrieves its content from DBpedia, the Wikipedia knowledge base, through the use of Semantic Web technologies. World of Trivia provides an excellent environment for Internet users to challenge themselves either in single player or multiplayer mode by answering questions on the various thematic domains that Wikipedia Open Content provides, combining in this way entertainment with education.
