 [![Family Quiz 4-nin wa Rival](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/family-quiz-4-nin-wa-rival.jpeg "Family Quiz 4-nin wa Rival")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/family-quiz-4-nin-wa-rival.jpeg)Family Quiz 4-nin wa Rival (ファミリークイズ 4人はライバル? lit. Family Quiz 4 Man Rivalry) is a Japanese trivia game devloped by Athena for the Famicom, and published in Japan in November of 1988. This game was Athena’s first console release. With a focus on family play, the game allows for four players to compete simultaneously. The goal is to beat the other opponents in four mini-games, each requiring that the player answer some Japanese trivia questions in order to proceed. The four mini-games are based on a game show, a board-game, the game of Othello, and a memory match game. In the game show, the only version that allows for just one player, answering questions correctly raises that player’s podium towards a balloon. The other versions require at least two players, and turns may only be taken after players have answered a trivia question correctly.
