Play a riddle round

How the round works

• The site picks ten riddles at random from all 192, so each round is different.
• Stuck? Tap "Ask my group" to send the riddle to WhatsApp, without the answer.
• At the end you get a score that you can share as a challenge.
• Prefer to browse? See the Hindi sets and the English sets.

Ways to play a round

• Alone: read each riddle, say your answer aloud before you tap, and mark yourself honestly. Saying it aloud matters; it is very easy to believe "I knew that" after the answer is on the screen.
• Two players, one phone: one reads and the other answers. Swap after each round and compare scores.
• A family or a class: one person is the quizmaster and reads from the phone. The first hand up answers. A wrong answer passes the riddle to the next hand.
• A chat group: tap "Ask my group" on each riddle. It is sent without the answer, and the first right reply wins the point.

Choosing the language

"Both" mixes Hindi and English riddles, which suits most Indian families, where the grandparents prefer one language and the children the other. Choose Hindi alone for the verse riddles, which are best read aloud with their rhythm, or English alone for a class that is practising the language.

If a riddle seems to have another answer

Good riddles are slippery, and now and then a player gives an answer that fits every clue but is not the one on the screen. Count it as correct. The aim of a round is thinking, not matching the writer's mind. If you would like to study how riddles hide their answers, read how to solve riddles.
