Riddles · A little twist for your thinking cap

Wait. Think. Ohhh.

Everyday answers hiding inside playful questions. Take a guess before you lift the lid.

300 jokes in this collectionClean wordplayRead · reveal · share

A short riddle asks you to look at an ordinary thing from a less ordinary angle. The answer may be a towel, a clock, or something already sitting nearby. The question usually sounds puzzling because one word is doing a different job than you first expected.

Keep the answer closed while you read the question out loud. Give your group a chance to explore a few possibilities, and offer a small hint only when they ask. “Think of something in the bathroom” is more satisfying than accidentally giving away the answer in a long explanation.

300 jokes, zero serious business.
