    Don't know if this 'game' will take off, but this is about cryptic clues.
    One person posts a cryptic clue. When a person has got the right answer, it is then their turn to post the next clue.

    For example, if I posted.... 'Stale meat in Lancashire', and Minxy replied 'Oldham', then she would be right, and it would be her turn to post the next clue.

    Here we go then. An easy one to start off with.


    Q: Musical chocolate. (9 letters)
