What are puns?

Recently I went to a game night with some friends. Mostly we just hung out, but we ended up trying a few new games someone picked up off the internet. It was a game about making puns.
What is a pun? Well, a pun is a joke that uses words that have other meanings, or words that sound the same. Here is an example:
"What do you call an alligator wearing a vest? An in-vest-igator."

Often times these jokes can be quite funny, but they can also be difficult to understand (even for native speakers of English, hahaha). Of course, since we are living in Japan, we thought about puns in Japanese, and even a mix of English and Japanese. For example, what do you call a rooster (a male chicken) that lays eggs? "Hen" desu ne (変ですね).

We had quite a bit of fun coming up with puns for this game (called Punderdome), though it was quite hard at times. I suggest you take a look at it, if you can!
