As shown in FIG. 1, the touch panel 20 is provided on the front surface of the mobile terminal 10. The touch panel 20 can display an image under the control of the CPU 2 and accept an interactive touch operation by the player. Specifically, the touch panel 20 displays an image (eg, text, still image, moving image, video, etc.) on the touch panel 20 based on a video signal from a graphics engine (not shown). The touch sensing function is realized by a touch sensor (not shown), and outputs an operation signal corresponding to a touch operation by the player. The player's touch operation may be performed by the player's finger, a stylus, or the like. As the touch sensor (not shown), for example, a capacitance type sensor can be adopted, but is not limited thereto. During execution of the questionnaire response, an operation signal output from the touch sensor (not shown) is input to the CPU 2, and when the CPU 2 detects an operation signal from the touch sensor (not shown), the operation signal is interpreted as an input operation for the questionnaire. Then, processing corresponding to this is executed.

  The quiz game control program according to the present embodiment has a database used for executing a quiz game, and the database includes a question management table shown in FIG. 3 and a candidate key management table shown in FIG. And are stored. In the question management table shown in FIG. 3, each of a plurality of “questions #” for identifying a question has a “question text” indicating the content of the question and a “candidate key” used by the player to answer the question. "Information" is recorded in association with it. In the candidate key management table shown in FIG. 4, the “character symbol” included in the key and the correct answer among the character symbols are “key #” that identifies a plurality of keys included in the candidate key. The correct character symbol "is recorded in association with it. The candidate key management table shown in FIG. 4 is for the candidate key information “# k_0001” in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 4, the candidate key information “# k_0001” has four candidate keys specified by “# k_01” to “# k_04”. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the candidate keys identified by “# k_01” are “a”, “de”, “i” corresponding to each of the character symbols 101 to 103 in the vertical direction (first direction). Are displayed in a line. Among these, “de” of the character symbol 102 is a correct character symbol, and “a” and “i” which are the other character symbols 101 and 103 are incorrect character symbols (details will be described later). The other candidate keys “# k_02” to “# k_04” are displayed in the same manner.

  Next, the flow of the quiz game according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following, an example in which the above-mentioned question # “# 0001” is given as a question will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the touch panel 20, a question area 300 for displaying the question text described above, candidate keys 100a to 100d, a guide 210 corresponding to each candidate key 100a to 100d, an answer determination line 200, and Is displayed. In the present embodiment, each of the candidate keys 100a to 100d can be moved in the vertical direction D along the corresponding guide 210 by the player's swipe operation (operation in which a finger is touched on the touch panel 20 in a specific direction). Is displayed. In the quiz game according to the present embodiment, the correct / incorrect answer to the question is determined by the combination of the character symbols positioned on the answer determination line 200 by the swipe operation of the candidate keys 100a to 100d by the player.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the candidate keys 100 a to 100 d are swiped by the player's finger 70, and “de” that is the character symbol 102 of the candidate key 100 a and the character symbol “n” of the candidate key 100 b. ”, The character symbol“ shi ”of the candidate key 100c, and the character symbol“ nya ”of the candidate key 100d are arranged on the answer determination line. These character symbols are “correct character symbols” in the candidate key management table of FIG. 4 and are answers corresponding to the question “Find the vehicle”. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, a correct answer display area for displaying “correct answer !!” is displayed, and only the correct character symbol 120 is displayed on the answer line 200, so that the correct answer and the correct answer contents are displayed.
