Break the ice with first-timers! Fun quizzes to warm up the welcome party atmosphere (21–30)
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!
Creative Kanji Quiz
When it comes to kanji-based quizzes, a variety of ideas come to mind: quizzes on difficult-to-read kanji, fill-in-the-blank puzzles for two-character and four-character compounds, synonym and antonym quizzes, and so on.
What we’re introducing here, however, is a “creative kanji quiz.” As the name suggests, “creative kanji” involves producing original characters by combining actual kanji and the like.
There’s even a contest hosted by The Sankei Shimbun and the Shirakawa Shizuka Institute of East Asian Characters and Culture at Ritsumeikan University, so quite a few people may have tried coming up with their own creative kanji.
For a quiz, you can use creative kanji that have actually won awards, or you can intentionally use original creations devised by the quizmaster.
The latter puts the quizmaster’s sense to the test and might make things even more exciting!

Which prefecture is the absolute worst here? Quiz
At welcome parties, there are often many people coming from various regions, right? What I’m introducing here is a quiz video where you guess the prefecture based on “worst ranking” statistics for prefectures.
Even people from those prefectures might not know the answers, but you could learn some surprising facts and have a great time with it!
Which one is the AI image quiz
With the advancement of AI technology, it’s become easier to be fooled by things like fake images, and there are more and more things we just can’t trust these days.
This quiz helps you build the skills to avoid being deceived by that kind of thing by asking you to guess which image was created by AI.
Depending on the item, it can be genuinely hard to tell, and if your vision is blurry from presbyopia, you might almost certainly mistake one for the other.
As a general trend, AI-generated images often look a bit too perfect or give off an obvious “AI-made” vibe.
Disaster Preparedness Quiz
Test your disaster-preparedness trivia with a quiz! Precisely because we live in Japan, where natural disasters are common, it’s important to keep our disaster awareness high at all times.
However, when nothing happens for a while, our sense of urgency tends to fade.
A welcome party is a fun occasion to celebrate meeting new members, but why not also try a disaster-preparedness quiz with an educational element, conveying the message, “Let’s all stay safe together”? When questions are delivered in a snappy quiz format, they’re easier to absorb, too.
English Prohibited Quiz
It’s the now-standard “no-English” quiz.
Even with simple questions, the key to this quiz is whether you can skillfully convert the katakana words you usually use into proper Japanese.
If you don’t rack your brains, there are times when you’ll even start having trouble understanding what others are saying.
Soccer Rules Quiz
If you’re gathering people who like soccer, how about turning soccer topics into quiz questions? By coming up with ideas from various angles—rules, players’ names, World Cup host countries, and more—you can create a fun quiz that tests knowledge! If there are participants who like soccer but don’t know a lot, using multiple-choice answers will make it easier to join.
It’s also helpful to include explanations for the answers.
Please create an enjoyable quiz that sparks even more interest in soccer.
