Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I'd like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that'll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)

How easy should it be to solve?

My favorite longer puzzle is β€œthere’s a naked man lying dead in a field with a stick in his hand. Asking me only yes/no questions, tell me why he is in the field and how did he die?”

[–] Kyoyeou 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm ok with having some hards! It's a Board Game Society some of them can like a bit of challenge!

Hmmmm Did you have to fight sir?

Are you waiting for something?

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I am dead. I can no longer wait :)

[–] Kyoyeou 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Say, dead sir, can you answer yes to a question?

No. Not unless someone were to move my body. But I am only in this field.

[–] Kyoyeou 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you happy with your situation?

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. I feel neither good nor bad, as I am dead. However, I didn’t want to die.

[–] Kyoyeou 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would I be dead if I took the stick?

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You would not. The stick in and of itself is not harmful. (I love where that question was going, though. Like a voodoo stick or something!)

[–] Kyoyeou 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you have this Stick for a long time before your death (I thought Elise had found almost the answer with their question)

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I didn’t have the stick for a long time before death.

[–] Kyoyeou 1 points 9 months ago

Oh wait, are you a Seed! That died and so became a tree?

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did he die right where he's lying now0?

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love Black Stories, this was the first one I have solved/played years ago.

I won't give away the answer, that would not be f air

I love them as well! I only know a couple, but I first heard them at a summer camp and they’re a great way to pass time with new friends while traveling.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was his death from natural causes?

No. It was sudden :)

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good guess! but no :)

No, it wasn’t an accident that killed him.

**Edit: I want to clarify here that he didn’t intend to die, but death was certainly a possibility of the actions he was involved in before his death.

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the stick relevant to your death

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So did you smack yourself with it

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. Hitting myself with the stick did not have a part in my death.

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the stick related to your death

The stick didn’t inflict my death, but it is a clue to why I died.

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Shall I give a hint? ;)

*Edit 1: I did not enter the field by land.

*Edit 2: I fell into the field and this caused my death. Why did I fall, and from where?
