There's a game called "The Person Below Me" or TPBM. The idea is that the first poster asks a question, then the next person answers it and then asks their own question to the next in line.
So the first person might ask: Favorite Superhero?
And the next person could answer: Hong Kong Phoey
...before asking: What's the most unusual food you've ever tried that's not of your culture?
Or something like that ;D
