I'm a moderator on a fairly large, general-interest forum, and we're looking to boost engagement in our off-topic section with some new, recurring forum game ideas. We've had the classic "word association" and "count to a million" threads for years, but they're getting stale. I'm looking for creative, low-maintenance games that encourage participation without requiring constant moderator oversight. Things like collaborative storytelling threads, weekly photo challenges based on a prompt, or trivia competitions. What kinds of interactive games have worked well on your forums to keep a community active and entertained between more serious discussions?
