Play IQ Panic (Japan edition · Japanese) Online

Gengoro sets out to rescue a kidnapped girl in an adventure where knowledge takes the place of a weapon. The world has the towns, paths and dungeons of a role-playing game, but encounters are decided by answering questions before the time limit expires. A correct answer defeats an ordinary opponent, while a mistake reduces the hero's health. Boss encounters demand several successful answers and introduce a choice of subject. There is no ordinary experience-grinding solution to a difficult question, making careful reading and preserving useful items more valuable than wandering into unnecessary encounters. Progress through the map with the next destination in mind and reserve recovery supplies for stretches where you cannot easily return to safety.
