The next segment is Up Up Quiz. This game consists of two teams facing each other in a quiz battle.

Some of their answers are silly and some are just plain scary. Judging from the answers to the survey, they narrow down to 3 members who then participate in the next segment. The three chosen members are then placed into a new situation. They then try to accomplish a goal, however they must be careful with how they handle the situation because there's a hidden meaning behind this too.
