8 Spooky Riddles - Hallo-Week Community Event

[Comben]

As the nights draw in and Winter approaches its time to snuggle down and try to keep warm.

So while you get comfortable, turn on the heating and warm up with a cup of tea, how about getting your teeth into these 8 spooky riddles dying to be solved!

Happy Hallo-Week to you all and welcome to my Spooky Riddles for the Community Event.

8 Riddles Loosely Themed Around Spooky and Creepy Things

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 enjoyment of others please avoid using google or otherwise seeking out the answers just to post them here.

Thanks for reading the first riddle is below:

RIDDLE ONE:

I am wrapped, but I am not a gift, I’m considered a scary at Halloween but my name is someone you can’t live without?

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 and hopefully we can all enjoy my addition to the Hall-Week Community Event.

Good Luck!

Riddle 8 : The butler because there is no post on a Sunday morning?

[Mi-Amigo]

Butler - no post on Sunday morning

[Comben]

TallTrees - I agree with you our ice in deep freeze for a year feels pretty lethal too! 🤣

However I will have to correct you on the Tracey theory because the riddle said it was later revealed that every drink that night had been poisoned so we can assume it's not the same day/ night and therefore the ones that have died are the only ones that are going to die from the poison. (It's not like Tracey is going to die a long time later because she only sipped it. 😅)

[Comben]

TallTrees- Like the logic but unfortunately not right.

josie and Mi-Amigo - Both of you are correct, well done 👏  -  NO POST IS RECEIVED ON SUNDAY SO THE BUTLER WAS ARRESTED

[Comben]

Thank you all so much for playing, I hope you enjoyed the spooky riddles for the Hallo-Week Community Event. 🎃 Enjoy the rest of you weekend and Halloween night on Monday. 👻

As a special reward there is a BONUS RIDDLE awaiting you...

Using the first letter of seven of the riddle answers I gave you, there is a hidden anagram that reveals a spooky/ creepy word. Which riddle answer is not used and what is the spooky/ creepy 7 letter anagram word? 

[TallTrees]

Well done 👏  Butler it is @Comben 

Although could have been a lazy Butler 😴 

Collecting Saturday post late 😁

[Comben]

Hahaha TallTrees, that's a very good point although the lady of the manor would have sacked the butler on Saturday evening had that day's post not been collected, because she didn't have time for work-shy employees who she was paying to do nothing! 😂

To everyone else - tough BONUS RIDDLE still ongoing.

[TallTrees]

Suffering Brain fog presently @Comben 

not an unusual event though 😎

[Comben]

Appreciate the reply TallTrees and sorry to hear about the Brain Fog, I think at lot of humans get this just don't realise so kudos for at least identifying it. 🤔

It certainly is a tough BONUS RIDDLE to be honest and it's a bit more of a word game compared to the other riddles but there are some smart cookies out there so surely someone can get it? 🤞
