For your New Year’s entertainment: An original round of Japan-flavored JEOPARDY

Hello friends, it’s me, your virtual Japan Jeopardy host!
Looking for a little fresh amusement? Throughout this long, long, LONG pandemic, I’ve discovered (quite to my surprise) that online trivia is one of the most satisfying entertainments around (not to mention it’s something to talk about at the dinner table, when all I’ve seen for days is the four walls of my writing cave!)
These questions will be easier if you’ve read The Last Tea Bowl Thief, but they’re all diabolically guessable. There are enough clues in each question that you can give them a pretty decent shot, even if you haven’t read or finished the book.
You can play this in person with your sweats ‘n slippers pandemic pod, of course, but it’s designed to work really well online too — here’s how to play this game with all your besties on Zoom (including the drinking game version!)
And if you’re new to the Zoom hosting game, easy step-by-step directions for how to Zoom (how to set it up, send invites, then host it when the time comes).
Enjoy!
This Jeopardy game is also super fun for book clubs. Whether you choose The Last Tea Bowl Thief for your regular book club’s monthly read or host a pop-up book zoom for just your friends, there are discussion-sparking questions and more fun activities on the website here.
