Play Quiz Sekai wa SHOW by shobai Online

You slam buttons as random trivia flies at you—one second you’re nailing geography, the next you’re blanking on 80s idol groups while the timer laughs at you. That mix of panic and pride when you somehow guess right keeps dragging you back for "just one more try."

Game Overview

Quiz Sekai wa SHOW is one of those arcade trivia games that somehow makes you feel both stupid and brilliant within the same minute. You start off thinking you know everything—until a question about 1980s Japanese pop culture completely wrecks you. The categories jump around wildly, from geography to obscure history to random "wait, how would anyone know that?" facts.

It's got that classic arcade vibe where the timer's always ticking down way faster than you'd like, and the multiple-choice answers are just vague enough to make you second-guess yourself. I lost my first round embarrassingly fast, but by the third try, I was hooked on chasing that high score. The questions are in Japanese, so fair warning if you're not fluent—but half the fun is wildly guessing and being surprised when you're somehow right.

Perfect for killing time between arcade rounds or just proving to your friends that yes, you do know which country invented the sandwich.
