Trivia Quiz
Are you familiar with the word “trivia”? It refers to tidbits of knowledge that make you go “huh, interesting.” How about turning them into a quiz? If you’re someone who reads a variety of books, watches TV, or browses online articles, you might be great at this—and it could even make you the star of the welcome party!
Witty Riddle
With ordinary quizzes, things tend to get repetitive, but when it comes to brain teasers, you really have to think, so you use your head and get to hear all kinds of answers—it’s interesting, isn’t it? Some questions make you wonder if they even count as brain teasers, but they’re still quite fun to think about.

Look-Alike Animals Quiz
Have you ever thought, “Ah, it’s a sea lion,” only to find out it was a fur seal, or thought, “Maybe it’s a walrus?” when it was actually a Steller sea lion? There are so many animals in the world that look alike.
Let’s have fun learning together while looking at various animals.
When you stare closely at a raccoon and a tanuki, it can actually get harder to tell them apart.
Depending on the haircut, you might not even be able to distinguish a Chihuahua from a Papillon.
It might be a good idea to have someone who loves animals and often watches animal shows be in charge of making the questions.
School Lunch Quiz
One of the fond memories from our school days is school lunch.
Some menu items have stayed the same over the years, while others have changed from the past to the present.
School lunches that everyone knows and has tasted at least once make a perfect theme for a group quiz! Create quizzes with all kinds of content—names of school lunch dishes, trivia related to school lunches, ranking questions about menus—and enjoy a great time together.
Through a school lunch quiz, old stories are sure to come up, and it might even deepen your camaraderie with friends.
Guess the Names of Popular Snack Characters
Famous snacks that everyone knows often have popular characters featured on their packaging, right? That said, the character names usually aren’t printed, so many people just call them by whatever name comes to mind.
For example, Koikeya’s Karu-Mucho is known for the “Hee Grandma,” who screams “Hee!” because it’s so spicy, but she actually has a real name: Tomi Morita! If you plan a quiz where people guess the real names of popular snack characters like that, it’s sure to be a hit at welcome parties and with people of all ages.
Since you’re at it, make sure to give the corresponding snack as a prize to anyone who gets it right!

Quick wits and reflexes will give you the edge.
Search every corner of your mind’s filing cabinet and answer swiftly.
