8 Riddles on the 8/8 at 8:08pm - Summer Community Event

[Comben]

Happy Summer to you all and Welcome to my Addition for the Community Event.

8 Riddles on the 8th of the 8th at 8:08pm (Loosely Themed Around Summer)

I love all sorts of riddles and enjoy looking for patterns and connections in things such as all the 8's in today's date and time. I now aim to share some of these riddles with you, which I've curated around the theme of 'summer', so hopefully you'll join in with a few guesses or even ask for a clue if there is a partially challenging riddle.

Before we begin there are a few rules I want to add in order to help everyone feel included:

1. I will release one riddle at a time and reply to answers submitted - When a correct answer is received I will release the next riddle in the comments. (I will not be able to edit my original post to add the new riddles due to the O2 time constraints of editing a post)
2. Please only guess once in a row - To allow other to join in please only submit another guess or answer the new riddle if someone other than me has posted in between your last reply.
3. If the game is particularly slow (which could be the case due to having this event in the evening) please disregard rule 2 and feel free to submit a second answer in a row, this mainly applies if no other guesses have been received for at least 15 minutes.
4. I have tried to have put the riddles into a scaling difficulty, however at any point if you would like a clue please let me know in the comments so I can reply with a hint - Please bear in mind I will wait at least 15 minutes after a request of a clue in case someone else answers.
5. Hopefully you'll all enjoy this game, I believe all riddles to be solvable with thought so for the fun of others please avoid using google or otherwise seeking out the answers just to post them here.

Thanks for reading the first riddle will be released below at 8:08pm...

RIDDLE ONE: Individually I’m very small but mix me in a bucket with some water and you can make a castle…. What am I?

Don't forget to follow this threads comments to see the new riddles and play along because as mentioned they will be released one by one in the comments once the previous riddle is solved. (This is due to the maximum edit time of my original post)

Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, I will be here to help the game progress but as this is my first ever event please go easy on me and hopefully we can all enjoy my addition to the Summer Community Event.

Finally if this game goes past midnight, which it might do due to the time of the event, then I will pause it until midday on the 9th August - During these 12 hours feel free to guess/ ask for a clue but please note that I won't be around to monitor and update the next riddle until noon on the 9th.

Good Luck!

Riddle 7 BANANA SPLIT

[Cleoriff]

7 SPLIT

[Comben]

Yeh Cleoriff - the takeaway from riddle six was that you were kinda right. 👍

My chaotic reply was just trying to explain that I was looking for something common to all of them, not just that a turtle goes to the beach to lay an egg.

As for riddle seven well done to BobM for being the first but also to Mi-Amigo for the correct answer of: BANANA SPLIT

Cleoriff you were partially right again on this one so can have another technicality. 🤔

RIDDLE EIGHT

What has cities but no houses, seas but no fish and churches but no religion?

Also feel free to stick around after this riddle for a little extra something. 😃

Riiddle 8 - a map

[Cleoriff]

* A MAP

[Comben]

Very well done to Mi-Amigo who just beat Cleoriff to the correct answer of: A MAP

A huge well done to all those that participated tonight, thank you for making my first ever event a success with all your answers, comments and guesses.

I'm genuinely surprised with how quickly we got through those riddles, you are clearly all much smart than I am.

Now onto a BONUS question:

Using the first letter of each answer that I wrote as correct, there is an 8 letter word that can be formed by rearranging the letters. Please then use that anagram in a summer sentence.

[Mi-Amigo]

Can`t get the anagram.

Thanks for a really great game. Well pleased with how many I got right - even if I wasn`t the first in answering a few of the riddles.

Sorry got to go as I have to be up early in the morning.

@Comben 

I can't get your last Bonus riddle but what a great game. Enjoyed it even though I'm not very  clever with anything 'cryptic'. 😂

Well done on your very first game on the community. 🤗
