[Advanced] Difficult Riddles for Elementary School Students (1–10)
Brain-training riddle
Eight brain-training questions are presented.
Although the video title says “Easy Riddle Questions,” I think they might be a bit difficult for elementary school students.
Instead of text-based questions, it’s a set of problems where you look at pictures and think.
There are lots of illustrations, so even though there are eight questions, the time flies by while you have fun.
A riddle that’s hard for adults but kids can solve
Children tend to take things at face value without overcomplicating them, more so than adults, don’t they? In situations like the one in this video, where some incident has occurred, adults often come in with preconceptions—thinking “maybe it happened this way” or “this person seems suspicious.” But children accept what happened more straightforwardly, which might make it easier for them to notice when “something doesn’t add up.” Videos that compile simple riddle-like puzzles—almost like easy detective stories—are exciting, especially when you have a time limit to figure out answers like “Who’s the culprit?”
Witty riddles
These are wordplay riddles that work like brain training.
For example, the answer to the question “What forest appears in the sky?” is “kumori” (cloudy), and rather than focusing on the meaning of the question, you should think in terms of the letters, number of characters, and sounds of the words.
The question “What number do you see when you look inside a car?” works the same way—if you pay attention to the kanji, the answer becomes easier to find.
This video compiles lots of these so-called ‘tonchi’ (witty) puzzles, so let your child’s flexible mind give them a try!

High-level riddle
These are high-level riddles for elementary school students where flashes of inspiration and creative thinking are the keys to solving the problems.
If you just read the questions as they are and answer, you often won’t find the correct solution or will end up wrong—there are many tough questions like that.
They range widely from school- and study-themed riddles to ones you can enjoy together with adults.
Thinking concretely about what’s needed and using intuitive reasoning can serve as clues to reach the answers.
Because a witty, clever mindset is required, it’s best to approach the problems with unique ideas and a multi-angled perspective.
Give these challenging riddles a try—they’ll help deepen your knowledge and even connect to learning.
School Riddles
We’re introducing exciting school riddles that even elementary school kids will want to try.
Using scenes from the classroom and lessons as hints, the thrill of revving up your brain to find the answers is irresistible.
By tackling tougher questions, your thinking skills will improve a lot.
The time you spend puzzling and having lightbulb moments with family and friends is truly special.
Give these stimulating school riddles a try—they’ll lead to new discoveries and wisdom.
The joy you feel when you figure out the answer is second to none.
A riddle that 90% of people can’t solve
It feels great when you’re the only one who can solve something that others can’t, doesn’t it? This video features lots of riddles that are said to stump 90% of people.
If you’re confident in your riddle-solving skills, give them a try.

Riddles for advanced level
An advanced set of riddles that’s gaining popularity in videos where people tackle quizzes and brainteasers.
There are 22 challenging questions that require flexible thinking and free imagination to solve.
In addition to mysteries about animals and nature, some require deep knowledge of science and history, making them tough enough to stump not only kids but adults as well.
The big advantage, however, is that they create time for families to learn and think together.
Why not incorporate them as a small educational activity during your relaxed time after closing the textbooks? Give these advanced riddles a try—the fun of training your brain is part of their appeal.
