Trivia, while a game by nature, can be used for more meaningful reasons. When getting to know someone, using trivia is a fun way to understand one another in a more interesting way. Rather than using the standard questions we tend to ask, things can become more compelling through the use of uncommon and somewhat, situationally hypothetical questions. The responses can be very insightful.
When we inquire about one another, we are showing an interest; this fosters a mutual engagement and can help put a person at ease.
