Fun quizzes that liven up the party. Quizzes everyone can enjoy (1–10)
Antonym Quiz
It’s a quiz where you answer the antonyms of the prompts given.
For example, the opposite of “hungry” is “full,” but here the example questions are phrased with a bit of a twist, making it a little challenging—and very exciting.
You can come up with your own questions, but there are also apps with plenty of problems prepared, so you can enjoy it easily by using those.
Letting people raise their hands and answer one after another is great, but using a nomination system could make it lively too!
A quiz where all the choices are the same
If you want to go for laughs, a great option is a quiz where all the choices are the same.
When the quiz starts, you see a four-choice question with identical options.
Then the question is read out afterward, and you have to buzz in quickly to answer.
Naturally, since you already know the answer from the start, it might feel like it doesn’t really work as a quiz.
However, even though the choices look the same, the font or background color differs, and that changes which one is correct.
例えば、質問が「5月4日？」で、選択肢がすべて「日」という文字なら、緑色の背景のものを選んで「みどりの日」と答えます。
Logo Quiz
Logos are everywhere in the city, aren’t they? You probably see logos from all kinds of companies in your daily life—restaurants, apparel brands, convenience stores, and more.
So how about trying a logo quiz? In this activity, a random logo is shown and you answer what it is.
Let’s see how many you can name, from the ones you’ll recognize right away to those that are harder to recall.
Try working on it while watching quiz videos on YouTube.
Candy Character Quiz
Some of the snacks we eat every day have their own characters, right? How about livening up a birthday party by hosting a quiz themed around those snack characters? It’s simple: show a snack character and have everyone guess which snack it belongs to.
Start with super-famous characters that kids know well, then gradually raise the difficulty to make it even more exciting.
You might find that people recognize the character but just can’t quite name it—surprisingly tricky and a real brain teaser!
Anime BGM Quiz
There are many people who love anime, right? So here’s a recommendation: an anime BGM quiz.
In this game, you’re given the title of an anime, and you sing its theme song a cappella.
Anime theme songs are often very memorable, so you’ll probably be able to guess them.
Plus, it’s fun when it naturally evolves from just answering into a karaoke session.
As a variation, trying ending themes or even drama theme songs is also recommended.
Flag Quiz
A quiz using flags from around the world is not only a great way to broaden your knowledge, but also a game that can really liven up a party.
By learning the meanings and histories behind national flags in a quiz format, geography from textbooks will start to feel much more familiar.
For example, flags reflect the history and culture that symbolize their nations, such as Japan’s Hinomaru and the United States’ Stars and Stripes.
If you want to learn in a fun way, be sure to try this flag quiz video.
It’s also recommended to create your own custom quiz!
NG Word Quiz
The NG Word Game involves assigning a specific word to each participant and conducting the conversation while avoiding saying that word.
Why not incorporate those NG words into a quiz? You start knowing only your own NG word, and if you accidentally say it while answering a quiz question, you lose points.
It’s a game where verbal strategy is key: you aim to score correct answers without using your NG word, and you also try to keep others from figuring out what your NG word is as the conversation progresses.
Profile Quiz
Profiles—like age, gender, hometown, and hobbies—something everyone has, right? Let’s use those profiles to make a quiz! Quizzes about celebrities and athletes can be exciting, but how about turning the people right there with you—those close to you—into the quiz subjects? In addition to birthdays and hometowns, research things like a person’s overall look and vibe, favorite foods, and turn them into quiz questions.
Mix in some slightly niche questions too, like how they spend their days off or their pet’s name!
Fashion quiz
Fashion quizzes are also a great idea.
In this activity, participants tackle questions that test their fashion sense and knowledge.
For example: “Listen to a brand description and name the brand,” or “Fill in the blanks for a brand name.” If everyone loves fashion, it can be a great conversation starter.
It might also spark interest in brands you didn’t know before.
Try tailoring the questions to suit the participants.
Arunashi quiz
This is the “Aru-Nashi Quiz” you often see on TV quiz shows.
Based on a certain rule, similar words are divided into the “Aru” (have) group and the “Nashi” (have not) group.
The quiz is to guess what that rule is.
When you hear the answer, you often think, “That wasn’t hard at all—how did I not figure it out?” But once you get stuck, it can feel impossible.
Let’s make it a points-based game and compete!
