[Challenging and Fun!] Quizzes & Riddles for Adults (1–10)
Who am I? quiz
A great recommendation for adults who want to activate their brains is the “Who am I?” quiz.
It’s a puzzle that everyone has wrestled with at least once.
For example, you deduce the answer from clues like: it’s active in summer, has a short lifespan, and is green.
This helps cultivate flexible thinking, and the very process of arriving at an answer becomes brain training.
Not only can you come up with your own questions, but it’s also fun to try quizzes by checking out various videos on video-sharing sites.
This style, familiar from TV shows, is sure to stimulate adults’ intellectual curiosity.

A trick quiz where you don’t just read the questions as written, but think about the meaning and content to answer.
Even when you think you’ve got it, you might still get fooled—these are fun, tricky problems.
For example, consider carefully how many numbers a child who can count to 100 can count using just the fingers on their right hand.
Try to think it through before answering.
If you can answer all 15 questions without any mistakes, you might be able to boast about your thinking skills.
For word problems, it’s also a good idea to prepare paper or a whiteboard and give them a try.
Riddles that are difficult for adults
Many adults may feel that the flexible minds they had as children have become rigid as they grew up, and that their creativity has faded.
Here’s a riddle that’s perfect for such adults.
Once you get it, it isn’t all that difficult, but if your thinking has become rigid, it might be quite tricky.
In fact, it might be the kind of problem that children can solve more easily.
Try to think flexibly and recapture the supple mindset you had as a child.
Riddles in English
Riddles are something almost everyone has tried at least once.
In fact, they exist not only in Japan but also overseas.
That’s why I recommend English riddles.
The first major difference is that all the questions are presented in English.
Because of that, you’ll also need the ability to translate English.
Plus, since elements of English-speaking cultures are involved, some questions may be hard to solve due to cultural differences from Japan.
All the more reason that solving them gives a real sense of accomplishment.
There are many kinds of riddles, so give them a try as a way to learn about different cultures!

Here is a type of problem that, while you could figure it out quickly with a little thought, is hard to reach the correct answer for because of assumptions or carelessness.
If you avoid jumping to conclusions or fixating on just part of the problem and instead observe the whole, you should find the answer right away.
Let’s approach the problem with a flexible mind.
I think that even in everyday life, not just in quizzes, we sometimes fail to see things clearly because we’re absent-minded or careless.
It’s very important to use something as a trigger and apply what you learn to other things.
trick question
This quiz’s catchphrase is “Can you answer every question without getting irritated?” You won’t reach the answers just by reading the text, and the problems are all ones that will make you mutter, “What the heck…?” So, can you take on the challenge without getting annoyed?
