[For Elementary School Students] Recommended Riddle Collection

A Satisfying Puzzle-Solving Experience

[Riddle] Brain training to test your intermediate-level thinking! 5 questions!

This is a workbook focused on kanji and the Japanese syllabary.

It features words learned in elementary school and the names of prefectures, so upper-grade students should be able to solve it.

But here’s the catch: it’s not something you can solve just by knowing the characters and words.

It’s easier if you imagine each problem like a drawing or diagram in your head.

It’s designed to train that sort of intuitive thinking.

For adults, it might actually be harder because we tend to overthink things “logically.” You can also enjoy competing with others to see who solves them faster.

Lateral Thinking Problem

Sea Turtle Soup: An Impossible Elevator? Try This Lateral Thinking Quiz!

Many puzzles only indirectly train your mind and rarely have a direct impact on real life.

However, this lateral thinking puzzle is different.

A lateral thinking puzzle is a riddle in which you deduce the story determined by the questioner through a series of questions—in other words, it’s essentially profiling.

Unlike other puzzles, this one genuinely develops your questioning skills.

Because you focus on asking only the essentials, it will be highly useful for future job hunting.

It’s an easy puzzle that doesn’t require paper or pen, so please give it a try at home.

Rule Quiz

[Rule Quiz] A tricky problem with two possible answers! Be careful not to get caught out.

In recent years, gifted education that aims to increase working memory from early childhood has been drawing attention.

This rule-based quiz is packed with elements ideal for developing linking skills—in other words, the ability to recognize patterns.

However, because it requires a certain level of general social knowledge as a prerequisite, it is more appropriate for elementary school students and above.

While it’s a game that uses simple knowledge, there are also high-difficulty problems that even adults can enjoy.

If you have an elementary school-aged child, be sure to try it together as a parent and child.
