I've wanted with overlap with this idea for different reasons: a sandbox where you can test out site UI/UX at different privilege levels instead of making sock puppets.

There's one thing that's keeping me back here a bit (and also with the 'wrong answers' example from the question), and that is that on the 'serious' sites we already sometimes get users trying to be funny and other users claiming hurt feelings as a result, and I worry that a site where everyone can be 'not serious' will quickly degrade in a moderator mess of users making jokes and users saying the joke isn't funny but a CoC violation somehow. I may just be a pessimist though...

Such a site is already up and running: reddit.com :)

@Lundin - I was thinking Quora myself, but ... yah.

I don't like the part of a temporary as it sounds like a "short living" like a few months, but I think that it might be fine to make a call for ideas for site proposals for a site for having fun, i.e., something based on Code Golf rules, the asker posts a riddle, and the answerers try to solve the riddle. Based on "Reverse Stack Exchange", the riddle could be to post the "answer" as a riddle, as is done on the TV show Jeopardy, and the answerers should answer with a single sentence question. Let a site like this live for at least a year if it gets enough activity per Area 51 rules.

Ideally, Area 51 should have a special category to handle the site proposals that respond to this call for sites for entertainment for everyone on Stack Exchange Network. The Jeopardy-like could be one site proposal, there could be other site proposals, the one getting more people willing to engage, follow the regular site proposal launch process. The difference might be that this time site category will be "entertainment of Stack Exchange Communities" (or something like that).

This is very likely to end in catastrophe
