Want to break some of the monotony on your site?

If so, you may want to try some of these things to spice up your site. Especially handy on a fan site for either a show or character, these games and events can really increase participation and member activity:

Caption Games

On a fan site, all you need is a screencap from your show and presto!, you have yourself a caption game. All you need to do is post it and then have your members post a funny or appropriate caption to it.

The CSI Wiki has had a very successful Caption Game running for over a year, Take a look.
General things to know:

• Because of the usual poll widget limitations, you may only be able to have a limit of ten captions...unless you want to pay $200 a year for PollDaddy or sift through hundreds of PMs or threads for votes.
• You should probably make it a weekly thing.

Thread Games

You already have everything you need for a thread game. Thread games are really simple and only need a little moderating.
Some games you can have in the threads are:

• Name the episode
• True or false?
• Who said it?
• Who did it?
• This or that?
• Take a look at some more examples from the CSI Wiki
