Riddles in the Dark: A Hobbit Party Game

Riddles in the Dark

Supplies:

• Paper Mache Box (from any craft store or online here)

• Grey & Metallic Gold craft paint

• Clear acrylic sealer (I used spray paint)

• Riddles! I made a free PDF printable with the riddles from The Hobbit here.

Directions:

• I painted my book grey and just added a simple "Riddles in the Dark" with metallic gold paint. Cover the book with a clear coat after the paint has dried.

• Print out or write out your riddles. I have a free PDF you can download here which includes the riddles from The Hobbit here, or you can write your own. :)

• Cut the riddles into strips or notecards, fold them up, and place inside the book box!

How to Play:

• The person with the birthday closest to September 22nd goes first!

• The first player takes a riddle from the box and reads it aloud.

• The first person to answer correctly gets to keep the riddle and gets the box.

• Repeat until all of the riddles are gone.

• Whoever has answered the most riddles at the end wins!

• Optional: if someone answers a riddle incorrectly, they are eaten by Gollum.

• Also Optional: The winner gets a Gold Ring!
