Laugh and have fun! A collection of funny 10-times game questions

spoonQ: How about eating spaghetti?

By having someone repeat a word, this question guides what they focus on while imagining the scene.

You have them repeat “spoon,” then ask, “Who eats the spaghetti?” Because they’ve been repeating a tableware item, their attention shifts to utensils, leading to an incorrect answer like “fork.” Utensils like spoons and forks are merely tools used by people to eat; the correct answer to the question of who eats is “a human.” It’s a slightly tricky, somewhat mischievous question.

kitchenQ: How do you say 'bird' in English?

It’s a type of question that exploits changes in names depending on the context to elicit a wrong answer.

After repeatedly saying the word “kitchen,” it asks, “What is ‘bird’ in English?” Because of the similar sound, people often answer “chicken,” which is incorrect—“chicken” means the meat, not the animal.

The correct answer is “bird.” Cows and pigs are other examples where the animal’s name differs from the name of the meat, so using those in a quiz can be a good idea too.

goddessQ: What do people with poor eyesight put in their eyes?

This is a riddle designed to elicit a wrong answer by creating a similarity with the correct one.

You have the person repeat “megami” (goddess), then ask, “What do people with poor eyesight put in their eyes?” Because of the condition (people with poor eyesight) and the sound of the word “megami,” respondents are prone to answer “megane” (glasses), which is incorrect.

Glasses are worn on the face, not put into the eyes, so the correct answer is “contact lenses.” The key is to deliver the question with a sense of speed to fluster the respondent, prompting them to imagine the wrong answer midway through the question.

Tokyo CoffeeQ: How do you say 'to be absent from school'?

What words you have people repeat is also a key point of the 10-times quiz.

We have them repeat “Tokyo Coffee,” and by making them wonder what that phrase means, it creates a lapse in vigilance when answering.

Once they finish, we ask, “What do you call skipping school?” and, influenced by the sound of the phrase they were just saying, they give the wrong answer “tōkō kyohi” (school refusal).

The correct answer is “kesseki” (absence), which is easy to figure out if you think it through, so the trick relies on lulling the respondent into carelessness.

blue circleQ: What is Japan's national anthem?

When you hear the name of a country, you might first picture its national flag.

This question uses that image of the flag to lead you toward an incorrect answer.

After having you repeat the phrase “blue circle,” it asks what Japan’s national anthem is.

The country name “Japan” together with the repeated phrase “blue circle” prompts you to think of “hinomaru,” the common name for Japan’s national flag.

However, the question is about the national anthem, not the flag, so the correct answer is “Kimigayo.”
