Here is my idea. Hope that you like it.
Someone posts a riddle here about a historical event (has to be something that is internatonally known, so nothing about local or regional events, and that happened in just one place, which immediately eliminates wars or things that happened in several places at the same time) and the others have to guess where and when that happened. Whoever guesses it the first has the chance to do the next riddle.
Example:
Twice it rang, bringing red to both of them.
She should have not died, he said.
The lights turned off, and more red was brought.
Solution:
The assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, 28th June 1914, which was the casus belli for the start of WWI. Gavrilo Princip shot twice against the motorcade where the Archduke and his wife were travelling, killing them both. Princip later said that he did not want to kill Sophie, but Governor Oskar Potiorek. When WWI started, a British politician (don't remember who) said that the lights were being turned off. WWI became one of the bloodiest conflicts ever.
Get it? Cool, now, the first one.
