Prompts and answers

  1. Prompt 1

    Name a Halloween tradition

    Hint: 462 accepted answers. The gem starts with “H” and is 3 words.

    Most players say carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, trick-or-treating, egging and toilet-papering, because childhood and classic movies keep those top-of-mind. But any recurring autumn ritual counts, so older folk divinations, harvest suppers, animal lore and local parades hide rare picks.

    462 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Hwch Ddu Gwta is a Welsh bonfire legend: a tailless black sow that chases the last to leave, making it part of Nos Galan Gaeaf rather than a generic Halloween custom. It stays rare because the name and tradition are tied to the Welsh language and a specific local bonfire practice.

    Bobbing for apples (11.4% of players), Toilet-papering (6.2%), Halloween parties (4.5%)
    4
    Carving pumpkins (9.7% of players), Trick-or-treating (8.0%), Dressing up in costumes (4.7%)

    • Soul cakes · These small round cakes were baked for All Souls' Day and given to soulers who prayed for the dead, an ancestor of trick-or-treating.
    • Dumb supper · A silent meal on Samhain to honor the dead, with places set for spirits and no one speaking during the supper.

    Most players landed on bobbing for apples, with about one in ten picking it. Carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating were close behind. It's a little surprising those two rank lower despite being more obvious, but no single tradition dominates.

  2. Prompt 2

    Name a chocolate with wafer, biscuit, or cookie in it

    Hint: 1,425 accepted answers. The gem starts with “R” and is 5 words.

    Most players reach for Kit Kat, Twix, Tim Tam, Coffee Crisp and Kinder Bueno—the global supermarket staples. The wording includes wafer, biscuit, or cookie, so store brands, regional bars and diet versions qualify; search local markets and international snack aisles.

    1,425 accepted answers, showing 12 examples by rarity.

    Rotstern Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel are hazelnut wafer rolls coated in milk chocolate, named after the Cinderella film. They are rarely given because they are a Central European seasonal treat with a long German title tied to a specific movie, not a global candy bar.

    Tim Tam (7.2% of players), Kinder Bueno (3.3%), Ferrero Rocher (2.3%)
    2
    Kit Kat (24.3% of players), Twix (15.1%)

    • Nestlé Breakaway · A crisp wafer biscuit under milk chocolate, marketed as a break-time snack in the UK.
    • Milka Biscoff · Milka's bar folds crushed Biscoff cookies into its Alpine milk chocolate, combining two popular European sweets.

    Kit Kat was the clear favorite, chosen by roughly a quarter of players, with Twix close behind. Tim Tam followed but far back. The top two are obvious, and the crowd converged heavily on these classic wafer bars.

  3. Prompt 3

    Name a fictional character who wears a mask

    Hint: 5,349 accepted answers. The gem starts with “M” and is 2 words.

    Most players say The Mask, The Phantom of the Opera, Batman, Zorro and Doctor Doom—iconic film and comic masked figures. Any fictional character with any face covering counts, so look beyond Western comic heroes to tokusatsu, video game bosses, anime villains and folklore.

    5,349 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Moonlight Mask, Japan's first TV superhero from 1958, wears sunglasses, a turban and scarf as his mask, so he counts as a masked fictional hero. He is rare outside Japan because early tokusatsu characters from that era are less known than later global superheroes.

    The Mask (5.6% of players), The Phantom of the Opera (4.9%), Zorro (3.1%)
    6
    Batman (3.1% of players), Jason Voorhees (2.3%), Ghostface (2.1%)

    • Darth Malgus · A Sith Lord from Star Wars: The Old Republic, his lower-face respirator functions as a permanent mask after a battle injury.

    The Mask edged out The Phantom of the Opera as the most picked, but no answer got even one in ten guesses. Batman, despite being an obvious pick, tied with Zorro. The field was very spread out, so there was no safe obvious answer.

  4. Prompt 4

    Name an animal that feeds on blood

    Hint: 84 accepted answers. 2 gems, starting with “C” (3 words) and “V” (2 words).

    Most players start with mosquito, leech, vampire bat, tick and lamprey, the usual parasites from nature documentaries. Since it says any animal, not just insects or mammals, host-specific mites, lice, worms and aquatic blood-feeders qualify.

    84 accepted answers, showing 14 examples by rarity.

    Cooper's nutmeg snail drinks blood from sleeping angel sharks, a marine snail parasite rather than a familiar biting insect. The vampire moth, a Calyptra species, repurposes its fruit-piercing proboscis to pierce skin and drink blood, yet moth blood-feeders are far less known than vampire bats.

    Vampire bat (15.3% of players), Bed bug (1.8%), Louse (1.5%)
    4
    Mosquito (28.4% of players), Leech (26.9%), Tick (11.8%)

    • Oxpecker · Usually seen picking ticks off large mammals, these birds also drink blood from the host's wounds, making a bird an unexpected blood-feeder.
    • Tongue-eating louse · This parasitic isopod enters through gills, replaces a fish's tongue, and then consumes blood or mucus from the stump.

    Mosquito and leech dominated, each picked by nearly three in ten players. Vampire bat was close behind but a clear step down, and tick got about one in ten. The crowd went with the most well-known blood feeders first.

  5. Prompt 5

    Name an orange fruit or vegetable

    Hint: 287 accepted answers. The gem starts with “G” and is 1 word.

    Most players think of persimmon, kumquat, papaya, carrot and pumpkin, the orange produce seen in stores and gardens. The prompt accepts any produce with orange flesh or skin, so tropical fruits, heirloom squashes, citrus hybrids and edible fungi all qualify.

    287 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Gac is a Vietnamese fruit with orange-red pulp that is used to colour red sticky rice at weddings and Tết, so it meets the orange-fruit condition. It remains rare because it is a Southeast Asian specialty seldom seen in Western supermarkets, unlike oranges or carrots.

    3
    Carrot (5.8% of players), Pumpkin (5.4%), Orange (4.2%)

    • Kumquat · These tiny citrus fruits are eaten whole, with sweet peel and tart flesh.
    • Orange cauliflower · This cauliflower's orange curds come from extra beta-carotene, making it a colorful alternative to white.

    Persimmon was the top answer, chosen by about one in eight players, even though it is a rarer fruit. Kumquat followed, with orange bell pepper and papaya close behind. Surprisingly, carrot and orange, the obvious picks, were much lower.

  6. Prompt 6

    Name a country with black or orange on its flag

    Hint: 83 accepted answers. The gem starts with “M” and is 2 words.

    Most players reach for Zimbabwe, Germany, Ireland, India and Jamaica, whose bold flag colours are widely recognised. The condition only needs black or orange in any stripe, emblem or detail, so many African, Asian and Caribbean nations with small tricolour elements qualify.

    83 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    The flag of the Marshall Islands includes an orange stripe that represents bravery, with white for peace, so it qualifies through its orange band. It is rarely given because this small Pacific island nation is less prominent than bigger countries with orange like India or Ireland.

    Marshall Islands

    Nicaragua, Luxembourg, Lesotho
    43

    Jamaica (3.8% of players), South Africa (3.3%), Belgium (1.6%)
    3
    Ireland (4.3% of players), Germany (4.1%), India (3.9%)

    • South Korea · Four black trigrams arranged around the red-and-blue taegeuk satisfy the black requirement.
    • Botswana · A black horizontal stripe with white borders runs across the light blue field, symbolizing racial harmony.

    No country came close to dominating; Ireland was most picked but only by about one in twenty-five. Germany, India, and Jamaica were virtually tied just behind. The sheer number of qualifying flags kept the crowd from converging.

  7. Prompt 7

    Name a word that starts with “boo”

    Hint: 332 accepted answers. 2 gems, starting with “B” (1 word) and “B” (1 word).

    Most players go with boolean, boomerang, booby, boob and boon, the everyday and tech words that spring to mind. The only restriction is the starting letters, so compound words, archaic terms and niche vocabulary from crafts, nature and trades all count.

    332 accepted answers, showing 14 examples by rarity.

    Booboisie, a portmanteau of 'boob' and 'bourgeoisie,' mocks an ignorant public but has faded from everyday slang. Boobook is an Australian owl whose name imitates its two-note call, so it qualifies but remains a regional bird word.

    boomerang (6.5% of players), booby (4.9%), boob (4.6%)
    4
    boo (2.5% of players), boot (2.2%), book (1.8%)

    Boolean was the most guessed word, with about one in ten choosing it, despite being a more technical term. Boomerang was second, and the obvious boo itself was far down the list. Players often reached for longer, less expected words.
