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!

Comben

Sorry for the delay pgn and TallTrees, I stepped away because the riddle hadn't been answered for a while  so went off to watch some football and then the 'new' Cruella film on Disney+.

 

Anyway I digress, TallTrees you are a smart cookie, I oddly don't like anagrams or horror myself but set this final riddle which I guess makes it ironic I'm sure in time (and without brain fog you'd get there) Although if I was on the guessing side of things, I'm not sure I ever would!

 

pgn - Unfortunately that's not correct but I can reveal that you are right that two of the riddle answers start with the letter "A"

 

The BONUS RIDDLE is still ongoing - I will give a clue tomorrow if it's still unsolved in the afternoon.

If it is, that's down to you. I simply rearranged the letters YOU found. 😂
