Fun quiz questions to liven up your year-end party: problems everyone can enjoy (51–60)

In-joke quiz

[Super inside joke] Do you remember what happened in high school?
In-joke quiz

I think many people have year-end parties with close friends from junior high, high school, or university.

An activity I recommend for those occasions is an “inside-joke quiz.” It’s a great way to see who remembers incidents and memories from your school days, and inside jokes can be a lot of fun.

The fact that outsiders would never get it gives it a special feel and really pumps up the excitement! After asking the quiz questions and hearing the answers, it’s also lovely to reminisce together about those times.

Quiz using puzzles

How about a groundbreaking game that combines a puzzle with a quiz? All you need is a store-bought blank jigsaw puzzle and a permanent marker.

For preparation, assemble the puzzle in advance and write the quiz question on it with the marker.

On the day, first distribute the puzzle pieces—disassembled—to each table and have the guests seated together complete the puzzle.

The team that answers the quiz written on the completed puzzle the fastest wins.

If there are too many pieces, it will take too long, so the key is to choose a piece count that can be completed in just a few minutes.

How about trying a mischievous quiz that makes you go “Eek!” when you get caught out? Just when you say, “This is easy,” the answer turns out to be something completely different.

That “oh no, I blew it” feeling is frustrating—but fun, right? It tests flexible thinking more than knowledge, so it’s perfect for gatherings like family year-end parties where lots of kids are present.

There are tons of examples on video sites, so pick out the questions that you think will really land with your participants!

Put a mark on cups filled with drinks like alcohol or juice.

Participants are blindfolded, and when the host says “Please drink X cm,” they drink by guesswork.

The person closest to the target wins.

If you use straws, you can see participants hesitating as they drink, which makes it even more fun!

Retro Game Quiz

The 1st Retro Game Quiz King Championship from CHALLENGER III
Retro Game Quiz

This is a quiz where players compete over detailed knowledge related to retro games.

Since some people might not recognize the retro titles that come up, a multiple-choice format with four options that can be answered by intuition may make it easier to proceed.

By thinking about masterpieces that paved the way to today’s games, you might also get a sense of the layers of history.

It could also serve as an opportunity to learn about expression techniques unique to retro games.

It might be fun to include questions that only the generation who actually played them would understand, creating a dynamic where other generations chime in with playful reactions.
