Whats a game that we can create for our english project?

We are supposed to facilitate a group discussion and create a game for the class to play for "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edger Allen Poe. We're a little bit stuck on what game to play. Jeopardy would be an obvious choice, and we may resort to that, but can you think of anything more creative? And if you have read "The Fall of the House of Usher" maybe something that can relate to that? Like something with a house theme, for example.

Any ideas are much appreciated!Whats a game that we can create for our english project?
Do a Jenga like game. Everyone builds their tower. Then have a deck of questions regarding The Fall of the House of Usher. For each wrong answer you take a piece of your "Jenga" Tower down. The first tower to fall loses. You can stop there or keep going until there is only one Tower left standing. Be sure your answers to the questions you make are cited correctly so there is no arguing on who is right or wrong.



I thought of a Clue and Trivial Pursuit versions as well but they seem pretty original like Jeopardy.



Now a Candy Land Version would be cool and you need to make to the Fallen House and you can have characters like Madeline, Roderick, The Narrator (Roderick's friend) and Poe and make events in the story like special good and bad places on the Candy Land Board. But, I like my first idea the best.
