Joseph  (bluemanticore) | 906 comments I was playing some of the other games of this group and thought maybe we could try this one. The way it works is you give an answer and then next person has to give a question that your answer would work for. Then that person gives another answer for the next person to give a question to. Let's try to keep to a bookish theme, but we don't have to.

For example:
Person 1 gives- Answer: Dumbledore, Merlin, Gandalf?
Then Person 2 gives- Question: What are wizards?

Person 1- A: Moby Dick
Person 2- Q: What is a book by Herman Melville?
or
Q:What is another name for The White Whale?

A: Silver
Q: What is a poison for werewolves?
or
Q: What is the name of The Lone Ranger's horse?

A: Pirates
Q: What are characters in "Treasure Island"
or
Q: What is the title of one of Celia Rees's books?
or
Q: What is what Blackbeard was an example of?

Got the idea?
Okay, let's get started.

Here is my answer:
A: Dracula
