This is a quiz that gathers niche questions about animals.

It’s a bit difficult, so each question is a true-or-false (O/X) choice.

Even if you get one wrong, you’ll learn a lot—it’s a quiz that builds knowledge.

It’s packed with trivia you’ll want to share with others.

Setting aside those who are especially good with kanji, there are difficult characters that most people can’t read smoothly.

Kanji Quiz

This is a kanji quiz where the components of characters are turned into riddles, and players guess which kanji it is.

For example: “What kind of stone is under a mountain?” If you write the character for “stone” under the character for “mountain,” you get “岩” (rock).

In this way, participants guess the kanji and then everyone says it out loud together as part of the quiz.

Change Calculation Quiz

This is a “change calculation quiz” where you figure out how much money remains in your wallet after shopping.

You start with a fixed amount of money, and you’re given problems about what items to buy and how much they cost.

Add up the total cost of the items you bought, then subtract that total from the amount you have to get the answer.

Silhouette Quiz

[Senior Brain Training Silhouette Quiz] Shadow Play Story 10 – Perfect for senior care activities and brain training, by Fukukuru
Silhouette Quiz

It’s a game where you fill an illustration in black and show only the silhouette, and people guess what the illustration is.

Things with distinctive shapes—like fruits or animals—are easier to answer and work well.

Even if it’s a bit difficult and you can’t figure out the answer, the act of thinking is meaningful as brain training, so I recommend it.

Odd one out quiz

Odd one out quiz

There are kanji that look similar at a glance, like “刀” and “力,” right? This is an odd-one-out quiz where you line up a bunch of such kanji and slip in one that’s similar but different—your task is to find it.

Using kanji with more strokes or increasing the number of characters lined up makes the difficulty jump significantly.

Song guessing quiz

[Whiteboard Rec] Activate your brain with a “Guess the Song” quiz! What song is this? ①
Song guessing quiz

It’s a quiz where you present part of a song’s lyrics as the question and everyone guesses the song title.

Start with clues that are a bit vague and gradually make them easier to understand.

Once someone gets the answer, everyone can try singing it together.

It sounds like it would be a lot of fun and really liven things up.
