Abstract

This study explores the wordplay feature in the Japaneze puzzle game ‘nazonazo’, used in the animated film Detective Conan to dramatize the mystery crimes. Nazonazo is a form of wordplay involving question-and-answer riddles, typically used as a mental exercise and commonly referred to as puzzles or guessing games. This study aims to identify the types of games and describe the formation of nazonazo in the animated film Detective Conan. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research results show that nazonazo answers in Detective Conan's animated film are classified into 4 (four) types, namely (1) dajare, which involve wordplay; (2) goroawase, which involve converting numbers into words; (3) anagrams, which involve arranging a word, and (4) other types of answers based on the reference of the question.
