Brain World Cup is a Japanese quiz show.

History

One day, Josh showed Floorpi a video of the show, and with its funny tasks (such as the number triangle, map of Africa, and flags containing red) and amazing host, it became a smash hit. Soon after, Floorpi ran its own Brain World Cup: teams were randomly formed, and each team, plus the hosts, contributed a task.

Floorpi also now has a Brain World Comm, for all matters Brain World Cup-related.

Brain World Cup I

The first BWC was held on November 9, 2012. It featured flag-based events and a number triangle with a twist.

Brain World Cup II

The second BWC was held on January 13, 2013. Jon Kabira was scheduled to show up, but his flight was cancelled. It featured a scavenger hunt where teams had to locate where various photos on campus were taken. It also had the now-famous face-merging event.

Brain World Cup III

The third BWC was held on November 5, 2013. It featured a scavenger hunt where teams had to find odd items around MIT (such as "someone wearing a Harvard sweatshirt"). Dinner was served to competitors, and Jon Kabira's flight was cancelled due to volcanic activity.
