Most working adults have no interest in learning.

If you blanche at that sentence, and say, “oh no, but I love learning – what is life if not a journey of discovery?” then a hearty congratulations from me to you: You’re in the miniscule 22% of knowledge workers who genuinely love to learn.

How much do you know about this year’s top search trends?

Test your knowledge of Google Search in 2018 by taking the new ‘Game of the Year’ quiz.

Every year Google releases a roundup of top search trends, but this is the first time the company has developed a game based on search data.

The way it works is simple:

Answer a series of questions about this year’s trending searches
Collect points for correct answers
Unlock harder questions by progressing through the game
A special bonus round at the end ups the difficulty even more
After three wrong answers, it’s game over
