Fun quizzes that will liven up a year-end party. Questions everyone can enjoy.

Dialect Quiz

[Dialect Moe] Do you have a dialect? University of Tokyo showdown with a 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.

A Must-See for New Adults!! Workplace Etiquette Quiz!

Have you ever watched Asahi Broadcasting’s variety show “Talent Common Sense Check! What Meat Is ‘Toriniku’!?” It’s a hilarious program where celebrities do odd things and everyone bursts into laughter every time, like how to eat fish in Japanese cuisine or proper etiquette in a tatami room.

Common sense and manners in the workplace can be tricky, right? So how about enjoying a manners quiz at your year-end party? There are plenty of manners that seem obvious but aren’t, like “Is there a correct orientation for bills in a celebratory envelope?” or “What’s the proper way to put away a business card you’ve received?” As the saying goes, wisdom comes with age, so your bosses and older colleagues might know a lot of etiquette.

Do some research on manners online or in books and prepare some good questions!

Lateral Thinking Quiz

[Lateral Thinking Quiz] Why did the dog’s owner contact the police? Seiya blows up at the staff over the correct answer... [Shimofuri Myojo] 20/30

Lateral thinking quizzes, exemplified by the quiz titled “Turtle Soup.” You advance your reasoning by asking questions that can be answered with “yes” or “no” until you arrive at the solution to the puzzle statement.

As the name suggests, lateral thinking tests your ability to consider things from various perspectives without being bound by preconceptions or the assumptions you form the moment you read the question.

Because it can take quite a long time and requires intense mental effort, it’s recommended to play with a small group rather than a large one.
