In work I'm part of the 'global' service support and next to us are the 'diamond' service support. Diamond customers pay extra to have additional things like personalized email templates & auto bonded ticketing systems. But for the most part the diamond guys do the exact same as us but since they have a lot less customer they have more free time. There's also the fact that as the European part of a predominately American customer base, fewer customer are even awake, let alone needing support.
All this means that sometime they do things like toss stress ball around the office.

Last Thursday 2 of those balls landed on my desk so I told they I was going to hide them.
So after they left I did, and left them a riddle on our personal slack channel.

This was it:

Hidden in the shadows of home is your treasure,

One with the mightiest and one with a lesser.

Though you look all day, it is not I you see,

This sinister clue is the only one for thee.

Ans 1 )

That day after they left I hid not only the 2 balls again but also one of their toy cows.
(I wasn't worried about them finding them over the weekend because I know the guy working that weekend was working from home.)
This was the riddle I gave them:

Two orbs parted & hidden from thee,

The furthest away they could possibly be.

First in a place of both boredom or mirth,

Disembodied voices haunt this earth.

Second from afar you talk to me,

Immaterial to solid with the touch of a Key.

Lastly the cow, a precarious planner,

In the middle of all, overside the banner.

Ans 2 )

This evening I hid the balls again.
I think this is the last time I'll do it. It's hard to come up with good riddles.

Not a bride, though I have rings,

Not a dog, though I bark,

In the day I give life,

But I give poison in the dark.

One hidden in me and one in my faux,

To find these ornaments you don't have far to go.

Ans 3 )

EDIT: I came in Tues morning to see the balls on my desk
I think it's safe to say they found them pretty fast.
