Fun quizzes and riddles that liven up high school (1–10)
Witty Riddle
Tonchi refers to wit that works instantly on the spot.
This time, try tackling all 14 of these tonchi riddles.
Since they’re tonchi, every question can be solved if you think about it—but the flash of insight doesn’t come that easily, does it? Each answer is sure to make you nod in agreement or feel impressed!
Does this VTuber exist or not?
Virtual YouTubers—often called Vtubers—are incredibly popular, aren’t they? Led by figures like Kizuna AI and Kaguya Luna, countless Vtubers are appearing every day.
For people who love Vtubers, a recommended quiz is the “Vtuber: Real or Not?” quiz.
The quizmaster presents a Vtuber name, and the respondent answers whether that Vtuber actually exists or not.
Because you have to toe the line between names that seem plausible but don’t exist and names that seem unlikely but do, it’s a quiz that really tests your naming sense.
Optical illusion art
If you’re taking art in high school, try opening your textbook right now.
Isn’t there a trompe-l’oeil image where water flowing through a channel seems to go from top to bottom but is actually looping around and around? That print is one of Escher’s most famous works, which is hugely popular in Japan too.
Judging from the fact that there are trick art museums all over the country, are Japanese people a nation that loves optical illusions? Let’s have some fun with trick art! If you search for “trick art,” you’ll find tons of interesting images, like illustrations with hidden animals or landscapes that look like human faces.
And if your school allows smartphones, you can even browse while you eat lunch!
Fun quizzes and riddles that will liven up high school (11–20)
Fashion & Beauty Quiz
How about trying a slightly niche and biased quiz—one focused on beauty and fashion? You might think women have the upper hand with makeup and such, but this is the Reiwa era: men enjoy makeup too, so women aren’t necessarily stronger.
Why not mix it up with basic questions on classic, long-standing fashion and makeup terms, along with styling and color questions that follow recent trends? Even those who aren’t familiar with makeup or fashion will surely learn something.
Shape Quiz
Here are 10 shape quizzes that also serve as brain teasers.
They’re said to help you develop flexible and logical thinking.
If you balance a partial perspective with a holistic one, you’ll likely get closer to the correct answers.
Give them a try!
FBI Psychological Test
This is a psychological test said to have been used by the FBI.
You answer how you would act in each situation, and from that you can learn what traits may be hidden within you.
Doesn’t the phrase “used by the FBI” alone make you curious about what kinds of questions they are?
Dining-out Chain Quiz
One of the hangout spots for high schoolers after club activities is chain restaurants like McDonald’s or Gusto, right? Personally, I love Saizeriya—I could eat that doria forever! How about turning everyone’s favorite chains into a quiz for fun? For example: “Which restaurant serves the Pine Hamburg Dish?” The answer is “Bikkuri Donkey.” “Which chain’s burger is the Roast Katsu Burger?” The answer is “MOS Burger.” When it comes to favorite menu items, everyone knows a lot, don’t they? Before long, the conversation will probably heat up with takes like “I prefer McDonald’s fries over Lotteria’s,” and so on!
