Play Adventure Quiz 2 Hatena Hatena no Dai-Bouken Online

Adventure Quiz 2 Hatena Hatena no Dai-Bouken is a 1992 arcade game developed and published by SNK. It arrived during a period when arcade cabinets were still dominant, and developers experimented with hybrid genres that mixed action and puzzle elements. The game stands out for its unusual combination of platforming and quiz mechanics, a blend not commonly seen in Western arcades at the time.

You control a small adventurer navigating side-scrolling stages filled with enemies and environmental hazards. The main objective is to reach the end of each stage, but progress is frequently interrupted by multiple-choice quiz screens that test your knowledge (primarily in Japanese). If you answer incorrectly, you lose a life; answering correctly lets you continue. The pacing is erratic, shifting abruptly from running and jumping to tense, reading-dependent pauses. It feels like being pulled between two different games, never quite settling into a comfortable rhythm.
