Ten Times Quiz

Didn’t you do this when you were a kid? It’s that trick question where someone says, ‘Say pizza ten times,’ then points to your elbow and asks, ‘What’s this?’ They turn it into a question that’s designed to make you say the wrong word.

Saying it out loud just makes your head even more full of that word, right? (laughs)

Who am I? Historical Figures Edition

Let me introduce “Who Am I?”, a game where you guess a famous historical figure using three hints.

Each hint becomes more specific—second more than the first, third more than the second—so both history buffs and beginners can enjoy it.

You can also project it on a screen to play with a large group.

Using a rule like “If you know the answer, raise your hand instead of saying it” prevents spoilers and keeps it fun, while a rule like “Discuss your thoughts together as you go” lets everyone enjoy thinking it through as a group.

Let’s find words within a word.

Let's find words within a word.

I’d like to introduce a game where everyone can play at the same time and get excited: a “find words inside a word” game.

In this game, you rearrange or extract letters from a given target word and see how many other words you can make.

For example, if the target is “とうもろこし” (corn), you can make words like “うし” (cow) or “しも” (frost).

Decide on a target word and a time limit, and you can compete to see who can find the most words.

You can also share with each other, saying, “Here are the words I found.”

‘Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti’ riddle letters

Carefully observe the characteristics of the characters given and answer.

This is a wordplay puzzle using the phrase “Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Ka.” The key point is that the characters “Mi” and “So” are displayed larger.

Another hint is that it seems to be a special day.

The answer is “Ōmisoka” (New Year’s Eve).

Many people might catch on from the large “Mi” and “So.” If you present this around the end of the year or when it gets cold, the correct answer rate might go up.
