I’m working on a campaign that has the player meet a creature pretending to be a sphynx and ask riddles of the players.
The trick is that that creature is both not that smart and thinks he’s very clever. They way past him is to praise him for being so smart that he agrees to let the adventurers go
What are some good ‘bad’ riddles to ask ?
If a red house is made of red bricks and a yellow house is made with yellow bricks, then what will a green house be made of?
The right answer is glass but the bad answer is green bricks.
