<font color=red>THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE GAME!

A chance to test the knowledge of other escapists! Is there a question that you've wanted to know the answer to? Well now you can ask that question at the expense of other people instead of going through the tiresome routine of consulting Wikipedia. Show off your intellectual prowess.

THE RULES:
1.A person shall ask a question they've wanted to know the answer to.

2.The person who posts next should answer the question.

3.That person should then ask their own question.

4.Please stick to the rules and not go off at tangents or make silly posts like "first post!"

5.Enjoy yourself, honestly it's more helpful than you know.
