Guess the Object Quiz

[Guess the Object Quiz: 10 Questions] For Seniors! A Fun Three-Hint Game [Easy Brain Training]

Let’s have fun turning all sorts of things into quiz questions—everyday items that everyone has seen or touched, must-haves for seasonal events, and more! If you’re making quiz questions, everyday objects are great topics because you can find hints everywhere.

And if the answer is something you can prepare as a real object, you can reveal it with, “Here’s the answer!”—which really livens up the quiz.

Tying it to seasonal events also makes it easy: Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day), Children’s Day, hina dolls, and koinobori carp streamers all work well as quiz themes.

Edo-Period Puzzles: Hanji-e Picture Riddles Brain Training Quiz 2

Have you heard of hanjie, picture riddles that were popular among commoners in the Edo period? Hanjie are a type of ukiyo-e in which you guess a word suggested by the image.

For example, in a puzzle where the characters a, ka are written on an umbrella (kasa), you read it as a-kasa-ka, which becomes Akasaka.

You can also have fun by including numbers in addition to pictures and characters.

Although hanjie were a craze in the Edo period, it’s fine to use modern answers.

Combine pictures, letters, and numbers to represent words like place names, foods, or animals.

It also sounds fun to make your own puzzles.

A wordplay lettering using “u” and “shi.”

Brain Teaser Tonchi Letter Quiz Short 6 – Senior Brain Training Recreation #Shorts #Quiz #BrainTraining #BrainTeaser #DayService #Recreation

Let’s figure out the correct answer from the combined characters.

Here’s a wordplay puzzle using the Japanese characters “う” (u) and “し” (shi).

The character “u” forms a ring encircling “shi.” It’s a unique arrangement, and some people might have no idea what the answer could be.

The hints are that there are ten “う” characters and that “し” is placed in the center.

The answer is “雨天中止” (canceled due to rain).

ポイントは、数字の10を「ten（テン）」と読むことで、日本語の読み「テン」と同じ音になり、その結果としてそのフレーズにつながるということです。

A witty wordplay using “shō” and “jō”

Let’s solve a riddle that looks like an official-style problem! It’s a wordplay puzzle using “shou” and “jou.” The display shows “shou × 2” and “jou ÷ 2.” The hints are that it suggests a bustling crowd, and that “shou” is doubled while “jou” is halved.

The answer is “shoubai hanjou,” meaning “prosperous business.” It makes sense if you think of it as “shou” multiplied and “jou” halved—“shou-bai” and “han-jou.” It’s a perfect brain teaser with clever wordplay, and once you get it, it’s quite satisfying.

A wordplay (riddle) using the name “Taro”

Let’s capture the features of the characters and try a brain teaser! This is a wordplay puzzle using the name “Taro.” The characters for “Taro” are reversed and have a striped pattern.

The hints are the reversed “Taro” and the stripes.

If I also tell you it’s related to a folktale, many of you might get it right.

The answer is “Urashima Taro.” Since “Taro” is flipped and has stripes (shima), it makes sense.

It’s a folktale long loved in Japan.
