Booh! Scared you, didn't I? :3
Halloween is always such a fun time, with all the costumes and candy gathering. . . What do you mean, it's not even close? Let me just check that. . . You're right! My calendar is lying to me!

Great, I'm totally feeling the spirit get it, but it's way too early in the year. What to do? I know! Let's bring the spirit of Halloween to PokéHeroes right now, so we can all enjoy the spooks longer than usual.

Now, to think of a way to do that. . . Maybe you know some riddles? Some spoooooooky riddles that make us shiver in fright as we think of the answer. Sounds great to me! Maybe they'll even be used for the Halloween Event in the way too far future :D

Reward Time
As always with contests, there's something in it for everyone who puts in the effort. If your riddle is one of the five winners, you will receive a Flute Combo as a prize!

If you join but don't win, you will still receive a consolation prize of 500 Event Points as thanks for joining (:

Requirements
Entry: Riddles are usually questions that have you thinking out-of-the-box. Playing with the meaning of words, figurative vs. literal, using synonyms, antonyms, the list goes on! The main point of a riddle is not having an immediate answer. You need to think about it.
"How's the weather?" Is not a riddle. "It's been raining all day, yet your flowers outside still need water. How come?" is a riddle.
Make sure your riddle can be solved, without any culture-specific information. It should also relate to Pokémon/PokéHeroes in some way. As the title implies, make sure it's scary/spooky.
Length: Riddles are usually short and to the (hidden) point, so try and keep the riddle somewhere around 50 words, maximum.
Copyright: The entry has to be written entirely by you. You are allowed to draw inspiration from other riddles, but you cannot copy-paste any part of them.

How to enter
When you are satisfied with your entry, send it through PM to CatLady. You can submit up to 5 riddles. If you post it in the thread, it will be disqualified.

Make sure to put "Spooky Riddle Submission" as your subject, so it doesn't fall through the cracks when I start collecting them.

Sorry, accidentally posted a riddle here :(

Question: Does the riddle HAVE to be related to pokemon?

Yes.

---

Hmmm ok
I like making riddles but making it pokemon related might be tough.
I'll see what I can do

Question: Does it have to be related on the ghost pokemons and their parts or design?

---

Can be any Pokémon or related to Pokeheros

---

It just needs to be about a pokémon, not necessarily a Ghost pokémon or PokéHeroes.

---

Do you have to include the answer?

Not necessarily. I'll ask for it if I can't figure it out myself (;

---

1. Does it have to be a pokemon or it can be places or characters?
2. Is 50 words max for each riddle or for all 5?

---

First question I already answered.
2. It's 50 characters max per riddle.

---

Also i think i may have titled mine riddle contest instead, sorry about that

I submitted one riddle :)

Also submitted 5 riddles,but i put the wrong topic...

---

Title: Question

Are the contests year round?

Can a riddle have multiple different answers? Like two different species of Pokemon for example

---

@SphealofMurder - Contests are organized a few times per year, but not every contest is organized every year.

@ChikoritaMining - That would depend on what may or may not be Riako's plan with them. I wouldn't disqualify them for it, in any case.

Will the winners be announced?
