[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.

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 riddles in English.
The biggest 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 come into play, some questions may be hard to solve due to cultural differences from Japan.
All the more reason that solving them gives you a great sense of accomplishment.
There are many kinds of riddles, so give them a try as a way to learn about different cultures!

Try to think flexibly and recapture the supple mindset you had as a child.

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.
