[Soccer Quiz] Which Team Is It? [23/24 Season Edition]

Soccer Quiz

Many people look forward to the World Cup that comes around once every four years! How about hosting a soccer quiz tournament for the world’s most widely played sport? Not only is it hugely popular, but there are also plenty of great topics for questions—like the J.League, famous international teams, the history of soccer, and classic matches—making it a highly recommended choice.

If many participants are beginners, it might be best to include simple questions about the rules or use a true/false format.

Perfect for a wedding after-party with a crowd of sports fans!

Bride and Groom Quiz

[sample] Wedding Quiz for the Bride and Groom

Bride and Groom Quiz

As expected, a quiz contest themed around the two stars of the day is a timeless classic! Let’s get everyone excited with questions related to the bride and groom.

There are two possible formats: one where the guests answer questions about the couple—like how they met, their hobbies, or the proposal words—and another where the bride and groom face off, answering how well they know each other.

This is especially recommended for after-parties where the groom’s and bride’s friend groups don’t overlap much, as it works great as a whole-room icebreaker.

And be sure to prepare some fabulous prizes!

Baseball Rules Quiz

[This is pretty tough…!] Baseball Rules Quiz! It’s amazing if you get all the questions right on the first try!

Baseball Rules Quiz

I wonder if there’s any after-party where there isn’t at least one former baseball club member or someone who still plays.

That’s how deeply baseball has permeated Japan, isn’t it? So, a baseball rules quiz works well.

The key is focusing on “baseball rules.” If you make it about “pro players,” “pro teams,” or “the Major Leagues,” it becomes hard for people who don’t know baseball to get into it.

Depending on the vibe of the venue, why not start with basics like “how many players are on a team” and “the names of defensive positions?”

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.
