Curiosity is considered an important aspect of human life, but understanding the circumstances that cause a person to become curious poses a challenge for research. This paper proposes video games as a stimulus for the experimental study of curiosity. For this purpose, we conducted a survey with the goal of assessing what video game titles and genres could be considered reliable instruments for invoking curiosity. To involve different types of curiosity, we included the Five-Dimensional Curiosity Scale (5DC) questionnaire. The survey was completed by 113 participants, and resulted in 301 game suggestions that warrant further analysis. Exploration and Social Simulation games in particular were found to rank high in triggering curiosity. To explain this result, we present a first analysis of potential game patterns that help trigger curiosity within these genres.

好奇心被认为是人类生活的一个重要方面，但是了解导致一个人好奇的环境对研究提出了挑战。本文提出视频游戏作为对好奇心实验研究的一种刺激。为此，我们进行了一项调查，目的是评估哪些视频游戏标题和体裁可以被认为是激发好奇心的可靠工具。为了涉及不同类型的好奇心，我们包括了五维好奇心量表（5DC）问卷。这项调查由113位参与者完成，得出了301条游戏建议，值得进一步分析。尤其是探索和社交模拟游戏在引发好奇心方面排名很高。为了解释这个结果，
