Give it a try!
Memory Quiz: Red Ogre
This is a quiz that lets you enjoy the very moment you recall the answer.
It’s not wrong just because you don’t remember; the time spent trying to recall has value.
Using the easy-to-understand motif of a red ogre, you consciously memorize multiple elements—such as color, expression, and position—and then select the same one afterward, which stimulates attention and short-term memory.
When done with multiple people, there are more opportunities to share opinions with others, which also helps activate the brain.
Because quiet, focused time alternates with conversation, this quiz makes it easy to create a good rhythm throughout the recreation.
Riddle: Which idiom does this represent?
We’d like to introduce a quiz called “What idiom does this represent?”, where you read a message from three words that include the character for ‘oni’ (demon) and figure out the answer.
Each set of characters, taken as-is, doesn’t form a real word.
However, if you focus on a certain character they share, the answer gradually comes into view.
Because you infer the meaning from the arrangement of the characters and the hints, it helps train not only knowledge but also your creativity.
The moment you get it, it feels refreshing—you’ll likely want to share it with others.
It’s a recommended quiz for Setsubun-themed content and for situations where you want to incorporate an intellectual activity.
Hidden picture quiz! Find the red ogre and the blue ogre!
A visual quiz packed with the fun of finding things.
You’ll search for a red ogre and a blue ogre hidden in the illustration, but of course they aren’t in obvious places.
Wondering “Where are they?” you’ll use hints like silhouettes, colors, and the ogres’ horns to look for them, which helps boost concentration.
The moment you spot one, you can’t help but brighten up and say, “I found it!”—and it’s sure to spark lively exchanges with others asking, “Where was it?” The difficulty is easy to adjust for participants, and if you allow plenty of time to look, older adults can join in comfortably.
It’s a recreation-friendly quiz that lets you enjoy the spirit of Setsubun.
