Riddles for middle schoolers (11–20)
Satisfying once solved
Once you grasp the fun of solving problems, you’ll naturally want to tackle more riddles and quizzes.
In that sense, this video captures the satisfying “Yes!” feeling when something clicks, and even if you don’t get it, there’s that little thrill of “Oh!” when you see the answer.
Ultra-difficult trick quiz
Are you bad at trick questions? I couldn’t even get the classic one—“Which is heavier, 1 kg of iron or 1 kg of cotton?”—I just kept groaning and never reached the right answer.
I’m the type who overthinks and self-destructs, assuming there must be some hidden twist just because it’s presented as a question.
I can’t handle normal trick questions, so if they’re labeled “super hard,” then… As for those tougher trick questions, the rising YouTuber Chonmage Kozou—who suddenly appeared with the greeting “Hikiniku desu!”—is enjoying them too.
Elementary schoolers who don’t have much time, give them a try!
Quiz King if you get everything right!
These are classic riddles, so they’re perfect for middle schoolers.
There are many problems you’ll want to try as a challenge.
They aren’t trick or twisted questions, so they might feel a bit lacking if you’re looking for that kind of thrill, but they make great material for casually doing with middle school friends.
Riddle exchange
This is a video of middle school girls giving each other riddles.
The content is the usual classics, but you can clearly see what kinds of questions they ask and how they react.
It could also be fun to set up a penalty game and take turns quizzing each other like this.
20 fun riddles you can enjoy!
“What sound does an old book make when it falls over?” “Ah—maybe…” It’s a riddle you can casually enjoy while looking for the answer.
I think it’s just right for middle schoolers.
Doing only twisted riddles can get tiring, so why not relax and enjoy some ordinary riddles once in a while?
If you take it seriously, you’ll get tripped up.
There are so many questions that just make you want to jump in with a snappy retort.
The answer to “Which prefecture borders the most others?” was so shocking it left me speechless.
You might feel like giving up halfway through before finishing all the questions.
I recommend taking them lightly and answering casually.
Fun riddles you can enjoy!
This video features many unique questions, such as “Who turns dads and moms into grandpas and grandmas?” None of the questions are particularly mean-spirited.
Most of them are humorous and can be approached quite straightforwardly.
They seem like puzzles that even adults would enjoy.
Advanced riddles
The riddle in this video might be difficult.
It requires a bit of knowledge.
It’s advanced, but solvable if you know it.
When I saw the answer to the question “If you’re under a hole without thinking, what would you see?”, I couldn’t help but go, ‘Ah, I see!’
Witty riddles
This riddle relies heavily on wordplay.
It doesn’t use any difficult vocabulary, so even a middle schooler should be able to find the answer easily.
It’s important to think straightforwardly and try answering without overthinking it.
If you twist it too much, you might end up with an off-the-mark answer.
Odd one out letter
It’s the kind of puzzle that almost makes your eyes feel dazzled, and as you work through it, it gets even harder.
It seems like it could really tire your eyes, but it’s said to be effective for building concentration.
Since you can boost your focus while solving the problems, it seems quite beneficial.
