My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

Do you know the quiz where you keep answering with the same predetermined phrase no matter what you’re asked? Even when trick questions pop up along the way, the rule is to stick to the answer you chose at the start.

It looks easy, but the fun lies in how easily you can be led astray.

You’ll have a great time that brings out smiles while testing your concentration and memory.

Try it with older adults, and it’ll make for good brain exercise and lively conversation.

From familiar themes like “giraffe,” “vegetables,” and “vehicles” to unique curveballs, enjoy these heartwarming quizzes!

No matter what you are asked, please answer “Hinamatsuri.”

Three Court Ladies

It’s a psychological game where you enjoy the rule of answering only the word you first decided on—“Hinamatsuri”—no matter what words you’re told. Words related to Hinamatsuri are listed, but the last one, “hima na tsuri” (idle fishing), is a wordplay trap. If you don’t get caught by the similar-sounding word and can still answer “Hinamatsuri,” you win.
