Which is the AI-generated image?

AI technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, and we’re now seeing fake images so accurate they look completely real.

A quiz game that uses such AI images can really liven up a party at a thank-you event.

You show two images and have participants guess which one is real and which one was generated by AI.

The key to keeping it exciting is to start with easy questions and gradually increase the difficulty.

Even genuine photos can look AI-generated depending on how they’re shot, the effects used, or the lighting, which can make them hard to tell apart.

It’s the kind of game that’s likely to fill the room with surprise and smiles.

Sorting Quiz

[60-Question Reordering Quiz] What word can be formed by rearranging the letters?
Sorting Quiz

In a scramble quiz, you break up a target word and show the jumbled letters to participants, then have them rearrange them to form the correct word.

For example, if the prompt is “ういんどかう,” the correct answer would be “うんどうかい” (sports day)! It’s fun to start with fewer characters and gradually increase the number to raise the difficulty level.

If you’re planning this for an appreciation party, it’s best to choose school-related words for the prompts.

Try selecting terms that bring back memories, such as school events, school trip destinations, or the class slogan everyone came up with.

Among the homework you worked hard on every day, there were probably some difficult problems, weren’t there? Some of you might have even asked someone at home for help when you just couldn’t figure out the right answer.

Here’s an idea: take a look back at that homework and turn the problems you thought were pretty tough or that you think would be exciting as a quiz into actual quiz questions.

The questions can be illustrated or photographed—either is fine.

Some of them might even be too hard for adults to answer, so the teachers joining in might end up stumped too… A quiz that everyone can get excited about and enjoy—try including it in the thank-you party!

A game where you guess someone from a part of their face

I tried to guess TWICE members just from their mouths, but it was way too hard. #TWICE #kpop
A game where you guess someone from a part of their face

It’s a game where you show a photo of a body part and have people guess who it is.

It seems like it tests how much you usually look at and know about that person.

The photos can be of celebrities or participants at a graduation party—both are fine! It’s best to take and present parts like the mouth, eyes, or eyebrows—features that seem recognizable but aren’t too obvious.

However, if the pool of possible answers is too broad, no one will get it right, so be sure to give hints that narrow it down.

Picking unexpected people—like a teacher or a historical figure—could also make the game more exciting.

It’s best to make small sketches in advance, hold them in your hands as references, and create from them.

It’s truly a grand finale that promises the thrill of a surprise.
