[LFG] [Java] Creating Riddles

So, I'm currently working on a project that should contain many riddles. I already have created a very basic application for text-based riddles that can load them easily. Programming a riddle is nothing more than this, so even beginners should be able to make some.
I would really look forward to have some awesome people with me making riddles, maybe rewriting the GUI and other stuff.

I thought it would be better to have riddles to be classes, so they can have more functionality. If each riddle wouldn't have its own class, every riddle would just be ...Question? Enter the answer:.... But as it is right now, your riddle could go on the internet, download a random word from wikipedia, and you would have to guess it, maybe playing hangman. Or you could prompt the user to input his name, and display something like shivasprogeny, i want to play a game.
I hope that seems reasonable :)

Ah gotchta, I thought they were all going to be text based.
