☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Breanna — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 09:17:55 GMT

I have no feet to dance, I have no eyes to see, I have no life to live or die, but yet I do all three. What am I?

Hello everyone!

Have you solved my riddle yet?

Spooky season is here and it's time for some Halloween-themed fun here on the O2 Community! So from Monday October 24th to Monday October 31st, we'll be haunting you with some fun games and activities in the spirit of the holiday.

My wedding this Saturday has a Halloween / Tim Burton Theme

Halloween is my favourite time of the year

@madasaf1sh You're wedding!?

That's awesome!

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Comben — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 11:52:44 GMT

Count me in for Saturday 29th October for either:

Guess the scary themed film (Based on an image from the film)

A riddle quiz with Halloween being the theme.

I'm open to either, so if people have a preference please let me know. 😈

I'm usually quite good at riddles Bre, but your one has me stumped. All I can think of is a dancing ghost! 👻 But I'm not sure that will be right! 😂 Hopefully others have more luck than me!

madasaf1sh — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 12:35:09 GMT

@Breanna

Yep my wedding..

The invites where all Nightmare before Christmas themed, and the cake is Tim Burton Themed

jonsie — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 12:48:56 GMT

The answer to the riddle?

Could it be Fire?

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Cleoriff — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 12:50:22 GMT

@madasaf1sh

Your wedding sounds awesome. Is the wedding cake black? Tim Burton hey....love him, as he usually links up with Johnny Depp.🤤

@Comben My preference would be a riddle game. I wasn't very good at it last time but I enjoyed it. 😉

Totally agree @jonsie. It's Fire. @Breanna

gmarkj — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 12:55:10 GMT

The first thing that comes to mind (apart from the no eyes it) is... fire?
Flames dance.

Some say it has life, and can die.

But no clue about the eyes or seeing...

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Breanna — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 12:55:51 GMT

Nice one @jonsie!

I'll take it easy on the riddles as @Comben may be offering some up for us here soon 👀?

My vote is for another of your "Riddle Quiz". The last one was brilliant.

Look forward to that @madasaf1sh. It just sounds brilliant.

Congratulations @madasaf1sh may you have the magic of a lifetime together

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Breanna — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 08:06:33 GMT

I took a break from packing last night to carve the cutest pumpkin ever.

Do kids trick-or-treat here? I bought some candy just in case but it's not nearly enough!

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

gmarkj — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 08:54:21 GMT

We get some round our way @Breanna but that might not be the same for you...

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Cleoriff — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 09:46:52 GMT

We rarely get any @Breanna nowadays. We are in a cul-de-sac and the kids tend to prefer the main roads as they are well lit.

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Breanna — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 09:56:12 GMT

The street lamp in front of our place has been out for months (although they've just replaced two other poles nearby completely) so that might be something I didn't consider @Cleoriff

Sounds like I'll just prepare a bit of candy and some rolls of coins as backup just in case haha @gmarkj

Re: ☠ Halloweek 2022 on the O2 Community ☠

Comben — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 18:49:17 GMT

Congratulations madasaf1sh, I hope you have an amazing wedding day and lovely lifetime together. I would also love to see a photo of the cake if you get round to uploading one after you've seen it. 🎂

Thanks Cleoriff, Breana and Mi-Amigo - Glad to know you enjoyed my first riddle quiz back in summer, based on your feedback I will start organising a Halloween/ Spooky riddle quiz for 29th October. (Thanks for holding back on your riddle Bre and if possible please could you add my riddle quiz into the activities calendar for Midday on 29/10/22 - Thank you 😊- I'll also PM you)

jonsie, Cleoriff, gmarkJ - Well done for solving the riddle, I have to agree a flame dances and can live/ die but like gmarkj said, I'm not sure I understand the seeing/ eyes part of that riddle?! 😬 Maybe Breana can shed some light on this?

Finally, great job on the pumpkin carving Breana, it looks great and in answer to your Trick or Treat question, in my opinion it isn't too much of a thing in the UK. That said it's getting more popular compared to when I was a kid but still nothing compare to the US. As gmarkj and Cleoriff mentioned it depends where you live too - if your on a main road with lots of light and children living nearby you may have more knock than if you live down a quiet road that's dimly lit and has more adults living there.
