In recent years, sports unique to the Paralympics—such as boccia and goalball—have also been in the spotlight.
So let’s try a “Paralympics Quiz” and learn more about the Games.
For example: “What sparked the start of the Paralympics?” “Which country hosted the first Paralympic Games?” There are some intriguing questions in the mix.
Once you tackle the quiz, you’ll surely find yourself looking forward to the next Paralympics!
Legendary Soccer Player Quiz
Recommended for soccer and sports lovers! Here are some ideas for a Legendary Soccer Player Quiz.
There are many legendary players in the world of soccer, right? This quiz challenges you to name those legendary soccer players! For example, a face photo of a player is shown and you’re asked, “What is this player’s name?” However, the face photo is displayed for only 0.1 seconds, so it’s a good idea to pause the video as you work through it.
Movie Quiz
The movie quiz activity gently awakens nostalgic memories and emotions, supporting both brain and emotional well-being.
Because films are shared memories among the same generation, I think older adults will have a wonderful time together.
As they share their memories, conversation and smiles arise naturally, and everyone can spend a lovely time reliving those days.
Remembering movies and being moved by them can lead to refreshment and emotional stability.
Even without watching, just recalling a film can lift the spirit—let’s enjoy that kind of time together!

Japan is home to renowned hot springs across the country.
Some of you may have visited various hot spring areas while traveling.
This quiz is perfect for you.
There are 25 questions in total.
It’s a slightly difficult quiz where you look at a hot spring area and answer the municipality (city, town, or village) where it’s located.
But the satisfaction of getting it right will be huge.
It’s a quiz idea you can enjoy solo or in a group!
Fishing Quiz
The Fishing Quiz Activity is a pleasant recreation that brings together memories, smiles, and brain training.
Many older adults enjoy fishing as a hobby.
You can think about which fish are in season and reminisce about fun outings you’ve had.
Even on days when going out or exercising is difficult, it offers a moment to enjoy nature, hobbies, and conversation—as if you’re going on a fishing trip in your mind.
“What kind of fishing quiz can we enjoy today?” With that feeling, please join in casually!

Which has higher nutritional value, fresh daikon or dried daikon (kiriboshi daikon)?
Kiriboshi daikon may seem like a simple processed food—basically just dried daikon—but the ways you use it in cooking are quite different from fresh daikon, right? So which one is more nutritious: kiriboshi daikon or fresh daikon? The key point is that it’s dried.
If you think about how the drying process changes its state, you might arrive at the answer.
The answer is “kiriboshi daikon.” By drying it, the water is removed and the nutrients become concentrated, so even the same amount ends up being more nutritious.
Knowing that drying also increases umami might make you even more eager to try using it.
As of 2012, Nagano Prefecture ranked third and Gifu Prefecture ranked second in the list of prefectures with the highest percentage of forest area. So which prefecture ranked first?
A ranking of prefectures with the highest proportion of forest area as of 2012.
Nagano Prefecture is 3rd, Gifu Prefecture is 2nd, and the honorable 1st place goes to Kochi Prefecture—truly a lush green kingdom where over 80% of the land is forest.
It’s the kind of surprising answer that makes you go “Oh, really?”—the sort of refined trivia you might have seen on a Showa-era quiz show.
It’s interesting not only for its geography angle but also for highlighting regional characteristics and natural abundance.
A retro-flavored local quiz that both Showa enthusiasts and nature lovers will be eager to talk about.
