Author of Trivia & Quiz Books
From global tour guiding to creative quiz making — a life of curiosity and discovery
Hi, I’m Nicco Schaal.
On my very first bus tour as a tour guide through New York City, guests asked me numerous questions before we even reached Times Square — and I loved every moment of it.
Years of guiding tours across the U.S. and Canada taught me that people’s curiosity knows no bounds. That experience inspired me to write my first book about tour guiding and, eventually, to create a series of trivia and quiz books designed to capture that same spirit of curiosity and discovery.
Today, I am the author of a growing series of trivia and quiz titles that inform, entertain, and challenge readers. Covering categories such as travel, sports, geography, music, food, entertainment, history, and pop culture, each book contains thousands of carefully crafted questions meant to test knowledge and spark curiosity.
Every question in my books offers four possible answers, with the correct answer accompanied by an interesting fact. This structure ensures that readers not only enjoy the challenge but also learn something new each time they engage with the game. The interactive nature of the books, designed for solo use, friendly competitions, or family game nights, ensures they can be revisited again and again without becoming repetitive.
What sets my books apart is their scale and attention to detail. Across the series, readers will find more than 2,700 questions spanning 15 different categories, supported by over 11,000 answer options. Each fun fact adds depth, making the experience rewarding even for the most knowledgeable players.
All titles are available on Amazon in various formats, including Kindle, paperback, and, in some cases, hardcover. This ensures that readers can choose the format that best suits their reading preferences. Readers are invited to explore the series, select topics that interest them most, and join a growing community of quiz enthusiasts.
Your feedback is invaluable. Reviews and comments help shape future editions and ensure each book remains engaging and up-to-date. We encourage you to share your thoughts and ideas, as they play a crucial role in making these books part of a dynamic and engaging learning and entertainment journey. Thank you for being so supportive.
