Need some help,

I've played games before where a person tells a story and the goal is for people to figure out what happened by asking questions.

For instance,

A person will set up the game as such:

A man enters his house where two bodies are laying dead on the kitchen floor one male, one female. He knows that both are dead and how they were killed even though there is only shattered glass and water on the floor (no blood,).

1. How does he know they are dead and how they were killed?


Everyone else asks as many questions as they would like where the story teller answers the questions. Eventually they should learn that the two dead bodies were fish in a fish bowl that were knocked off the counter when a robber broke into his home.

What kind of games are these called? Anyone know?

I just always called them riddles. I know a bunch of them, though.

I was trying to find a place online where I might find a bunch of them for a youth event.

Yes, I would call those riddles as well, haha, as for an online site, let me google that for you

We used to call it 20 questions. We would only get (obviously) 20 questions to ask and then you had to figure it out. It would always take more than that to figure it out though.

haha funny, but those aren't exactly what I'm looking for.

Plus, it's hard to google for something when you don't know exactly what you're looking for.

There's a game called Mindtrap that seems like what you're looking for. Don't let the samples on the site fool you, most of the questions are really ridiculously hard.
