Party Quiz: the Official Game Show of FanimeCon

Stage Zero

Saturday: 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Sunday: 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

We’re back for 2024! Party Quiz has been the official game show of FanimeCon for over two decades. Each of our hour-long shows features a different format: Some of our games test your reflexes, where the fastest buzzer will have the advantage. Some require a deep mastery of memory. Others still will require contestants to spot the smallest detail. We also have picture rounds, category rounds, spelling rounds, and maybe even a drawing round or two.

Contestants will be quizzed on a medley of topics ranging from anime, to video games, to general knowledge. A single game might run from Bleach to Bayonetta to BTS, or from Fullmetal Alchemist to Final Fantasy to french fries. How is your RPG lore? Have you brushed up on your favorite classic anime series? Do you know your world capitals? You never know what might come up during the games!

Players who score well can win prizes such as plushies, gift cards, and figures, each day concludes with a jackpot round. Contestants can even win hundreds of dollars in actual cash—if they are fast enough and lucky enough. We’ve given away hundreds during each show before, and we’re looking to do it again!

We select all of our contestants from the audience, so just show up for a chance to play and win!  Come on up, and show off your knowledge!

Party Quiz will be running on Stage Zero Saturday and Sunday night in the San Jose McEnery Convention Center.

Party Quiz: Games With Guests

Stage Zero

Saturday: 7:30pm

As a special event, one of our rounds will feature some of our Guests of Honor as contestants.  Not only will they be competing for the championship among their fellow guests, but they will also be playing to win prizes for selected members of the audience. Cheer them on, and you might win as well!

Last year, our guests handled trivia questions, demonstrated their dexterity, and created some impressive displays of art, all within a single hour-long show. What will happen this year? Come on down and find out!
