Hi, my name is Nicco Schaal.
On my very first bus tour as a 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 leading tours across the U.S. and Canada have taught me that people’s curiosity is endless. That experience inspired me to write my first book about tour guiding and, eventually, to develop a series of trivia and quiz books that aim to evoke the same curiosity and sense of discovery.Today, I am the author of a growing series of trivia and quiz titles that inform, entertain, and challenge readers. Each book covers topics such as travel, sports, geography, music, food, entertainment, history, and pop culture, and contains thousands of carefully crafted questions designed to test knowledge and spark curiosity.Every question in my books provides four answer choices, with the correct one paired with an interesting fact. This structure ensures 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 makes my 18 quiz books unique is their scale and meticulous detail. Throughout the series, readers will discover over 3000 questions across 30+ categories, supported by more than 11,000 answer options.Each fun fact adds depth, enhancing the experience even for the most knowledgeable players.
All titles are available on Amazon in various formats, including Kindle, paperback, and occasionally 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.
About the AuthorNicco Schaal is a German-born author who has steadily grown a following with his quiz and trivia books. His titles combine solid knowledge, surprising facts, and playful questions about culture, geography, history, and popular knowledge. Covering topics from the United States and Canada to winter sports and international cities, he has established himself as a defining voice in quiz and knowledge literature.His passion for travel and discovery began at an early age. After growing up in Germany, Schaal spent four years in France before moving to the United States in the 1970s. There he worked first in hospitality, then as a city guide in New York, and later as a tour director across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. Ten years in New York, twenty years in Florida, and countless tours through cities, national parks, and coastal regions gave him a deep understanding of cultures, people, and places — knowledge that later became the backbone of his books.Today, Nicco Schaal lives in Germany once again and devotes himself entirely to writing trivia and quiz books. His series includes titles such as Big Texas Trivia, Winter Sports Trivia, O Canada Trivia, Global Pop Trivia, Deutschland-Quiz, Paris Trivia, and many more. With each new project, he gathers fresh impressions while traveling through Europe and North America, weaving authentic perspectives and firsthand experience into his questions and facts.Schaal combines traditional research with modern digital tools to produce large-scale quiz projects with speed, depth, and accuracy. The result is a collection of books that blend education and entertainment, inviting readers to marvel, laugh, and learn — one question at a time.

My Note on AI Collaboration
The books I’ve recently written were created with the help of artificial intelligence—most notably, ChatGPT. I developed each idea, structure, and creative direction, while AI helped shape the language and refine the form.I see this partnership not as a shortcut, but as an innovative step forward in the writing process—a new way to turn thoughts into text. Every page reflects my own vision, driven by curiosity and the desire to explore what human creativity can accomplish when combined with modern technology.
