This document introduces a revitalization project for local cities in Japan that uses an online quiz system. The system aims to address issues with creating enough quizzes for certification tests about local areas by allowing the public to generate new quiz content. It focuses on an example implementation in Morioka City called "Moriken" that tests knowledge about the city. The online "Morikenweb quiz" application allows users to take past quizzes, generate new quiz content, and view statistics on system usage, with the goal of increasing study and interest in the local area to support revitalization.
