Thursday: Word Game!

Thu Aug 9, 2012, 4:09 PM


Happy belated birthday, deviantART! We celebrated deviantART's big day by giving everyone a little peek into the epicness contained within a Premium Membership. I hope you enjoyed the day's festivities!

And, you guys came through for us! Our birthday cake was no where to be found, but leave it to deviantART's super deviants to create something perfect for the occasion. Nice work!

Our top five deviants, who created beautifully delicious layers, are:






Congratulations! You will be contacted about your prizes within the next 24 hours.

For this week, we're playing Reverse Jeopardy, a game of wordplay! This game is all about finding clever uses of words. It's easy to play:

Step 1: I'll give you a category and the answer in that category.
Step 2: You'll provide the question to that answer. 
Step 3: The most amusing answers will win!

So, as an example, I would say:

Category: Sports
Answer: Lacrosse

And a sample response would be:

How did the Spanish chicken get to the other side of the road?

Meaning, he La Crossed the road. :giggle: The sillier the answer, the better, but don't go so ridiculous that it doesn't fit with the theme. The possibilities are limitless! 

Make sense? Get ready, because Reverse Jeopardy is about to begin!

What question can you come up with where the answer is one of the above? Feel free to answer one of these questions, pick and choose which ones to answer, or answer all of them! 

We'll pick a winner in each category, for a total of six winners, who will receive a 12x18 Fine Art Print of their choice! Winners will be chosen on inclusion of the theme, originality, and creativity.

:megaphone: Please specify which category and answer your question is for! Your comment should look like:

Category: Villains
Answer: Darth Maul
Question: "What do you call a shopping establishment that has turned to the dark side?"

A Darth Mall. Get it? =P

And, as in Jeopardy, be sure to write your comment in the form of a question.

Your comments must be in by Tuesday, August 14th at 11:59 PM Pacific. Come up with a clever question that answers one of the above, and you could win. We can't wait to see your questions!
