The New York Times Games team introduces a playful Puzzle Personality Quiz which is partially a trivia test and self-discovery journey in an entertaining way. It helps users understand their gaming archetype and reflects how they approach puzzles and games.
The Games editorial team dives into the psyche of puzzle players and fuses the insights that they've found to create the game. The goal of this was to help users discover favorites and also gain some introspection of how they are drawn to the various challenges. It takes users through 10 questions and when going through the process, an avatar gradually takes shape and reflects their special puzzle personality, leading to the possibility of six basic archetypes.
