Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

So how about turning outdoor knowledge into a quiz? Some outdoor know-how is useful in disasters, too, so it could make for an informative and beneficial quiz.

Zoom-Out Quiz

Zoom-Out Quiz: 12 consecutive questions featuring ultra-magnified photos [Zoom-Out Image Version]

Zoom-Out Quiz

As a video-based quiz, a highly recommended option is the Zoom-Out Quiz.

It starts with a close-up of a portion of a photo and gradually zooms out to reveal the full picture.

The goal is to identify what the photo is faster than the other participants.

You’ve probably seen this on TV quiz shows too! Because players must infer the answer from the limited information on screen, they’ll be glued to the display and completely absorbed.

It’s a great idea when you want to add a twist to your quiz lineup.

Matchstick Puzzle Quiz

[Matchstick Puzzle] Equation problems solved with brainpower! 6 questions!

Matchstick Puzzle Quiz

If you want to offer a quiz that really makes people rack their brains, matchstick puzzles are a great choice.

These puzzles use equations or figures arranged with matchsticks and are a staple in quiz shows.

Typical examples include “Move just one matchstick to make the equation correct” or “Remove the matchstick from the dustpan.” They test flexible thinking, so encourage participants to sit down and take their time.

You could even add a theatrical touch by having actual matchsticks laid out and asking participants to physically move them when answering.

World Geography Quiz

30-Question World Geography Country Name Quiz! Part 1

World Geography Quiz

You might be able to answer questions where you identify Japanese prefectures on a map, but how about a quiz where you name countries on a world map? You could probably name familiar countries or those with distinctive shapes, like the United States or Italy, but many people might struggle to identify other countries even when looking at a map.

In a large venue, use a projector; in a smaller setting, display the map on a smartphone or computer screen and have participants name the country.

If you want to increase the difficulty, you can make it a question where they look at the map and name major cities in that country.
