Fun quizzes (31–40) that liven up parties and performances
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?”
Industry Jargon Quiz
A quiz that converts jargon from various industries into everyday language.
There are many terms that make no sense in their original industry form, but once you hear the answers, you often think, “Ah, I see.” It can be especially fun for industries you frequently encounter in daily life, like restaurants.
Guess the sushi toppings while blindfolded
This is a quiz where you eat sushi while blindfolded and describe what you ate in the style of a food report.
It might be fun to try it with not just sushi but various types of foods.
When you’re blindfolded, you may be surprised at how hard it is to tell what you’re eating.
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
It’s a quiz where you show the kanji for fish and answer how they’re read.
Let’s include a wide range—from easy ones that most Japanese people know to difficult ones that are almost impossible to read normally.
Conversely, it could also be fun to make it a quiz where you give the reading and have people provide the kanji.
Fun quizzes (41–50) that liven up parties and performances
Private Quiz
Create a quiz based on a participant’s everyday life to see how well everyone understands that person.
If the featured person doesn’t know they’re the subject, the atmosphere gets even livelier, including their embarrassed reactions.
It’s also fun to structure it like a game show, where higher-point questions are harder and delve deeper into that person’s life.
Having the featured person reluctantly announce the correct answers themselves could make it even more entertaining.
Celebrity quiz
How much do you usually watch variety shows and dramas? Recently, more services offer catch-up streaming, so there may be many people who can check their favorite programs every week without fail.
With that in mind, the theme is “Celebrities”! Questions will come from various angles, such as “Who is this person?”, “Who stars in this drama?”, and “Which duo won this comedy contest?” It should be a quiz event that almost never misses, suitable for anyone, anywhere!
