Food Review Guessing Quiz

A quiz where you guess the names of vegetables using only Fukura P’s food reviews

Food Review Guessing Quiz

The so-called “food report,” where a TV personality eats something delicious and shares their impressions, is a common sight on gourmet and variety shows.

How about turning that into a quiz game? One representative person eats something out of sight behind a partition, gives a food report, and everyone else tries to guess what they’re eating.

You could do it as a fast-buzzer quiz, or, if there are many participants, play in teams and let them discuss before answering.

Fish Kanji Quiz

Intro Quiz

Intro quiz: 10 questions

Intro Quiz

A classic quiz where you guess the song title from just the intro.

Since people know different songs depending on their generation, it’s fun to form teams by age group—or mix different generations on the same team.

If the selections are too obscure, no one can answer, so sticking to well-known songs is recommended.
