Super difficult ‘Aru-Nashi’ quiz
A “Yes/No” quiz that tackles the theme of “It’s in XX, but not in YY.” Let’s take on ultra-difficult quiz questions that are often posed in simple forms.
You sort various items—such as two-character kanji or tools—into ‘has’ and ‘doesn’t have’ groups in sequence, then deduce an answer that fits the condition.
When only one item is revealed at a time, the difficulty is high, but as more items appear, it gradually becomes easier to solve.
You can set a time limit, or keep sorting into ‘has’ and ‘doesn’t have’ until the respondent figures it out—either way, it’s a fun and challenging puzzle.
