Why are there mostly matching quiz games on Quiz Hub?
Matching quizzes are highly effective for reviewing facts because they reflect how our brains store knowledge – as pairs of related ideas.

Well-designed matching quizzes can also link new facts with prior knowledge, highlight subtle differences between similar concepts, and reveal interdisciplinary connections.
