Fun quizzes to liven up a welcome party (1–10)
Industry Jargon Quiz
There are many different industries in this world.
And in each of those industries, there’s indispensable “industry jargon.” You’re not considered fully fledged until you can use it properly.
Since we want you to learn that jargon early on, how about turning it into a quiz for the welcome party? It’s a confidence-boosting activity that’s educational, too!
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.
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!
Fastest-finger word association quiz
While flexibility and flashes of inspiration are expected from those answering, the “fast-buzzer word association quiz” also seems to test the question writer’s sense of balance.
As the name suggests, it’s a quiz where players use a few hints and buzz in as soon as they figure out the associated word.
But if the answer becomes obvious after just two or three hints, it won’t be exciting; on the other hand, making it so hard that no one can get it would be a letdown, too.
It could be fun to tweak the rules—for example, reveal panels one by one with hints on them, and award more points to those who answer correctly with fewer hints!
