Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I'd like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that'll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)

It doesn't lead to a destination, and maybe isn't even a riddle, but a sentence I like is:

Is your answer to this question the same as if I had asked you to give me a dollar?

For me, unless I'm missing something, that's an easy "Yes".

If someone randomly asks me for a single dollar they probably need it more urgently than I do. And if it's some kind of weird scam? I'm still only out $1.

(No, I will not be sending $1 to people that reply to this, but I pre-acknowlege that you're very clever for thinking of that)

Sure, asking for a single dollar isn't the best use of the question. You could ask for anything, not that the recipient would actually deliver on it.

This is a fun one that can be adapted to all sorts of questions where you want a yes answer.
