Fun quizzes that will liven up year-end parties: Questions everyone can enjoy (21–30)
Everyday Sounds Guessing Quiz
When you open the doors at FamilyMart, that familiar melody always plays, doesn’t it? The sound of train ticket machines, LINE notification tones, bus stop buttons—our surroundings are overflowing with sounds.
Here’s a slightly quirky quiz where you listen to sounds and guess what they are.
That feeling of “I’ve heard this somewhere” or “I hear this every day” turns your frustration into fun.
You can find all kinds of sounds on video sites, so be sure to prepare plenty!
Dialect Quiz
How about a dialect quiz where you present regional dialects from around Japan and guess their meanings? One of the fun things about Japanese is the wide variety of dialects—from words whose meanings you can kind of infer from their vibe to ones you’d never guess at all.
For the format, the organizer could research dialects from different areas and pose the questions, or you could split into teams by hometown and have each team present dialect words from their region as quiz questions.
A team competition like that would likely be a hit.

Enemy Language Ban Quiz
In simple terms, “enemy language” refers to English.
There are many things in the world that have English names, right? This is a game where you compete to see how well you can forcibly explain such words in Japanese—what expressions you’d use.
There’s no clear correct answer, but it’s a quiz where everyone can enjoy each other’s responses!
Candy character quiz
You know how some snack packages feature characters on them? For example, many of you are probably familiar with Kyoro-chan from Choco Ball or March-kun from Koala’s March.
In this quiz, you’ll look at illustrations of such characters and guess which snack they belong to.
Since many snacks have been beloved for years, this quiz is perfect for parties with a mix of generations.
It’s sure to spark lively conversations about everyone’s favorite treats, too.
Candy Quiz
How about enjoying a snack quiz at your party where you look at pictures of sweets and guess the product name? If you feature long-loved products, people of all generations will find it easy to join, it’ll spark nostalgia, and the conversation will likely liven up.
Try using famous snacks that almost everyone has tasted, such as Umaibo, Baby Star Ramen, Takenoko no Sato, and Country Ma’am, and enjoy the quiz together.
You might also consider organizing a tasting session of the snacks after the quiz—it could be a big hit!
Proverb Quiz
We don’t get many chances to use them in everyday conversation, but there are lots of famous proverbs everyone knows.
I’m sure you’ve heard ones like “oni ni kanabō” (like giving a metal club to a demon), “even a dog will bump into a stick if it walks around,” and “a Buddhist chant in a horse’s ear.” You can turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions or give the meanings and have people guess the proverb.
Proverbs are easy to turn into quizzes at various difficulty levels, and since very few people have absolutely no knowledge of them, it’s a theme anyone can join in on.
Enjoy a proverb quiz at your party—it’s great for brain training and learning, too.
Local Specialty Souvenir Quiz
Here’s a quiz themed around local souvenirs that frequent travelers will likely know well! Each region in Japan has its famous omiyage (souvenirs).
Hokkaido’s “Shiroi Koibito,” Kyoto’s “Nama Yatsuhashi,” and Kyushu’s “Hakata Torimon” are especially well-known.
In this quiz, you’ll look at photos and guess which region the souvenir is from.
Partway through the thinking time, the souvenir’s name will appear as a hint, so use that to help you come up with your answer.
Souvenirs are a topic familiar to people of all ages, so this is a great theme for a quiz at parties or gatherings with lots of participants!
