Riddle creator: Joshua

Riddle creator, sly, engaging, and playfully teasing

Prompt: A sly, engaging male voice that poses riddles and brain teasers like a friendly trickster. His warm mid-baritone is teasing and rhythmic, laying out the puzzle with deliberate pacing, dropping a knowing 'take your time' pause, then revealing the answer with a satisfied 'gotcha.' There's a game-master's mischievous delight in his tone. The sound of someone who loves watching your brain squirm for the answer and genuinely celebrates when you beat the pause and get it right.

Script: All right, here's one that stumps almost everyone. What has cities, but no houses? Has mountains, but no trees? Has water, but no fish? Go on, pause it, I'll wait. No cheating in the comments. Got it? It's a map. See, it was right in front of you the whole time.
