Check out this neat site! It is an active guess and check riddle game.

Successful readers make guesses based on what they read and what they already know. The object of this game is to infer what is being described by the clues you read.
1) Press the "Show a Clue" button below.   Notice that the clue is describing someone or something. 
2) Press it again to read another clue.   
3) When you think you have figured out what is being described, type it in the "Make a Guess" box and press "Check!".

How many clues before you can guess?
