“Riddles In The Dark” is the fifth chapter in J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit, and it plays a pivotal role in both that novel and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Bilbo Baggins falls into a dark passage, where he finds the infamous gold ring. Gollum wants to eat the hobbit, but Bilbo convinces him to play a game of riddles to see who gets their way. The Hobbit film trilogy begins on December 14th with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and this will be a pivotal scene here as well. To get you in the mood, the film’s Facebook page has linked to an online app where you can guess riddles from Gollum and fans, rate them, and submit your own. Let us know what you think of the site in the comments below.
