An official Back to the Future Test will be held in spring 2027, Cinema Today reported on October 21, the day the films call Back to the Future DAY. Questions will cover famous scenes, memorable lines, and character episodes, plus harder trivia aimed at devoted fans. Applications open in mid-December 2026 through the Kentei, Uketsuketemasu portal run by Nippan Segmo. Passers can buy limited original goods.
Michael J. Fox's Marty is the anchor: October 21 is the date he travels to in the films, and the test lands on that anniversary. The format is a knowledge quiz, not a screening or a reunion, with questions spanning famous scenes, lines, and character episodes alongside harder material written for longtime fans.
Applications open in mid-December 2026 on the Kentei, Uketsuketemasu portal operated by Nippan Segmo. The test itself is scheduled for spring 2027, and limited original goods will be sold only to those who pass.
