Cultural Tip
In everyday French, especially among younger speakers, "C'est quoi..." is very common and sounds friendly. However, it’s considered too informal for written or professional contexts, where "Quel est..." is preferred. Also, note that "jeu" is masculine, so the adjective stays in its masculine form (préféré, not préférée).
