How to play

Riddles is a family thinking game written in everyday Egyptian Arabic. Every riddle has four choices: the right answer, a trap built to catch anyone who reads too fast, a plausible but wrong option, and usually a joke answer to make you smile.

1. Pick a section and a level, then read the whole riddle. Think about the meaning, not the surface wording, because the trap always plays on a quick read.
2. Tap one of the four answers. You get one try; afterwards the correct answer appears with a short explanation of the trick.
3. In the regular sections nothing times you out, but a correct answer within the first 10 seconds earns the full speed bonus.
4. Stuck? Buy a hint for 5 coins, or use Remove two or Ask the crowd, each once per level.
5. In the Fawazeer section clues appear gradually, one every 12 seconds, and there is a real 45-second limit. The earlier you answer, with fewer clues shown, the more you score.
