Kosodate Quiz: My Angel

Kosodate Quiz: My Angel is a series of coming-of-age quiz games made and published by Namco. The first game, also called Kosodate Quiz: My Angel, hit arcades in 1996 and got a PlayStation port in 1998. The latest title, Uno no Tatsujin: Hirameki Kosodate My Angel, came out for the Nintendo DS in 2007.

In the game, players take on the roles of a mother and father, answering questions to raise their daughter from birth to age 25. Each round presents a question with four possible answers. A correct answer boosts the player's "child support expenses" funds, and extra funds are earned by hitting a target number of correct answers without any mistakes. After all questions in a stage are answered, the player moves on.

A wrong answer drains the life meter, and if it empties, the game ends. Clearing a stage triggers an event based on the daughter's personality, which itself depends on the player's performance in the previous stage. Personalities include "Gentle," "Sexy," "Cool," and "Cheerful."

Besides normal stages, a "test stage" may occur when the daughter applies to kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, vocational school, or university. The player must answer a set number of questions correctly to get in, and that number rises with each later test. Once the daughter turns 25, a final "extra stage" appears; earning 6,000 yen here is needed for the best ending.

Sequels include Kosodate Quiz: My Angel 2 (1997), Kosodate Quiz: My Angel 3: My Little Pet (1998), the spin-off Derby Quiz: My Dream Horse (1997), Kosodate Quiz: More My Angel (1999), Kosodate Quiz Everywhere: My Angel (1999), and Unō no Tatsujin: Hirameki Kosodate My Angel (2007).
